QMap and data model.

Babs

@Alien I'm trying to create a model of data based on a QMap. The problem is i have difficulties to acess the index of an objects in the QMap. Therefore i have difficulties implementing my data and setData functions below:

//QVariant CanMessageModel::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const
{
    if (index.row() < 0 || index.row() >= m_dataSource->dataItems().size())
        return QVariant();
    CanMessage *message= m_dataSource->dataItems().at(index.row());
    if(role == idRole)
        return message->getID();
    else if(role == dataRole)
        return message->getData();
    else if(role == sizeRole)
        return message->getLength();
    else if(role == timeRole)
        return message->getTimeStamp();
    return QVariant();
}

Alien

@Babs you've done that; what's the difficulty?
And i don't know why you define
Q_PROPERTY(CanController* dataSource READ dataSource WRITE setDataSource NOTIFY dataSourceChanged)

CanController should be a qvariant is that works fine? In the other hand why you need Q_PROPERTY?

Babs

@Alien this is not working at all this is the function i wrote for a QList<CanMessage*>. Now i'm trying to do it with a QMap

SGaist

Hi,

Unless you are mapping an int to your CanMessage*, I don't see how you expect to use a QMap in a list model.

Babs

@SGaist My CanMessage class contain a lot of information like the ID of my data. I don't want to add to my Model message wich ID is already present. I want to refresh it. That's the reason why i try to use QMap::insert() in order to not add messages with existing identifiers

SGaist

What type is ID ?

Babs

@SGaist quint32. I use QCanBusFrame to get my data

SGaist

And you would like to show them ordered by that ID ?

Babs

@SGaist not necessary i just want to replace messages with existing ID with new one. I don't want to add them to my list

Babs

@SGaist I created my list model based on Qmap. The problem know is when my data update i get the error: Unable to assign [undefined] to QString.
Here is what i get:

When a new message with existing ID is received the data should be modified in my display.
The problem is the first received message is displayed and when messages are updated is says:
Unable to assign [undefined] to QString.

For example in first line i have 2ff as ID, and 2A as data. If i receive a new message with the ID 2ff and data 2B, 2A should be replaced with 2B in that line

SGaist

Can you show how you implemented setData ?

Babs

@SGaist of course

//your code here
bool CanMessageModel::setData(const QModelIndex &index, const QVariant &value, int role)
{
    CanMessage *message= m_dataSource->dataItems().values().at(index.row());
    //    CanMessage *message= m_dataSource->dataItems().at(index.row());
    //CanMessage *message= (m_dataSource->dataItems().constBegin()+index.row()).value();


    bool somethingChanged=false;

    switch (role) {
    case idRole:{
        if(message->getID()!=value.toString()){
            message->setID(value.toString());
            somethingChanged=true;

        }
    }
        break;
    case dataRole:{
        if(message->getData()!=value.toString()){
            message->setData(value.toString());
            somethingChanged=true;

        }
    }
        break;
    case sizeRole:{
        if(message->getLength()!=value.toString()){
            message->setLength(value.toString());
            somethingChanged=true;

        }
    }
        break;
    case timeRole:{
        if(message->getTimeStamp()!=value.toUInt()){
            message->setTimeStamp(value.toUInt());
            somethingChanged=true;

        }
    }
        break;
    case periodRole:{
        if(message->getPeriod()!=value.toUInt())
            message->setPeriod(value.toUInt());
        somethingChanged=true;
    }


    }
    if(somethingChanged){
        emit dataChanged(index,index,QVector<int>()<<role);
        return true;
    }
    return false;

}

SGaist

Something is a bit strange here...

You want to order your message by idea, yet there's no real sign of a list to order. You seem to have a pretty convoluted setup right now.

Babs

@SGaist thank you for your answers. I successed in creating my model like i wanted. I used a QAbstractTable model and stored my data in a QMap.

SGaist

So everything is working now ?

Babs

@SGaist Yes

SGaist

What did you do to fix your issue ?

Since you have it working now, please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tools" button so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :-)

@SGaist here is my code
I created a QAbstractListModel based on tableView

And it qml i create my Tableview with following delegate

//your code here
import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.12





Column{

    TableView{
        implicitHeight: 200
        id : mListView
        width: parent.width
        height: parent.height

        model : myModel
        delegate: Item {
            height: parent.height

            width: parent.width
            Row{
                //spacing: 0
                anchors.fill: parent
                //anchors.margins:0
                TextField{
                    focus: true
                    text: model.identifier;
                    //wrapMode: Text.WordWrap
                    //canUndo: true

                }

                TextField{

                    focus: true
                    id : m_payload
                    text: model.payload

                    // canUndo:  true
                }
                TextField{
                    focus: true
                    id:m_length
                    text: model.size
                }
                TextField{
                    focus: true
                    text: model.timeStamp
                }
                TextField{
                    focus:true
                    text: model.period
                }
                TextField{
                    focus:true
                    text: model.nodeID
                }
                TextField{
                    focus:true
                    text: model.functionType
                }

            }

        }

    }

}
