          Ok.
          Nothing odd then :)
          Then you just need to keep aaaa pointer around and
          eeee so you can add child to that.

            my code:

            QList<QTreeWidgetItem*>m_Data;
            m_Data.append(new QTreeWidgetItem);

            QString Data = 0;
            for(int i=1;i<3;i++)
            {
            Data = QString("SubItem"+QString::number(i));
            QTreeWidgetItem* item1 =new QTreeWidgetItem(ui->treeWidget);
            item1->setText(0,"data1");
            m_Data.append(item1);
            item1->setText(0,Data.toLatin1().constData());
            m_Data.append(item1);
            item->addChild(item1);
            item1->addChildren(m_Data);

              hi
              seems like blank texts. also i dont see u new item.??
              anyway, that loop looks so messy and hard to read
              if you use functions, it can look like this

              QTreeWidgetItem * addTreeRoot(QTreeWidget* treeWidget, QString name, QString description) {
                  QTreeWidgetItem *treeItem = new QTreeWidgetItem(treeWidget);
                  treeItem->setText(0, name);
                  treeItem->setText(1, description);
                  return treeItem;
              }
              
              QTreeWidgetItem * addTreeChild(QTreeWidgetItem *parent,QString name, QString description) {
                  QTreeWidgetItem *treeItem = new QTreeWidgetItem();
                  treeItem->setText(0, name);
                  treeItem->setText(1, description);
                  parent->addChild(treeItem);
                  return treeItem;
              }
              --
              
              QTreeWidgetItem* root=addTreeRoot(ui->treeWidget,"ROOT","text");
              addTreeChild(root,"bbbb","text");
              addTreeChild(root,"ccc","text");
              addTreeChild(root,"dddd","text");
              QTreeWidgetItem* last=addTreeChild(root,"eeee","text");
              
              addTreeChild(last,"eeeee","text"); // notice last as parent

                  hi
                  Just paste them into cpp file. they are just free functions.

                          So after removing the -- is still warns on line #102 with specific message "expected primary-expression before "*" token", that's what you're saying, right?

                              Great, so I tell you one thing that is wrong, and you say it does not change the errors when in fact it does, and I have to guess....

                              Look at the very first error message line. It tells you you are still inside function on_pushButton_clicked(). Do you show us that function? No. There is nothing (else) wrong with what you have pasted, but you haven't pasted it in the correct place. Nobody is going to be able to help you on that with what you show. Good luck, I'm out.

                                  did u put the full functions INSIDE void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked() ????
                                  it sure seems so. And that is plain wrong.
                                  Should be OVER void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
                                  and never, ever inside.
                                  Look at the picture again. :)
