QMap and data model.

[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;

}

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
                }

                    text: model.period
                }
                TextField{
                    focus:true
                    text: model.nodeID
                }
                TextField{
                    focus:true
                    text: model.functionType
                }

            }

        }

    }
