Set property in a list of ListElement

[DavidM29]

@raven-worx
I haven't been able to make it work that way. Maybe because my Delegate is in a seperate file ?

Is that solution suppose to be able to set the data in my items list ?
Do I do it right by retrieving the data in my items list ?

oh ok, i see.

Do I do it right by retrieving the data in my items list ?

The delegate item gets a property assigned named modelData.

The property modelData is the one I use :

model.modelData

The issue is that when I do have a delegate with an input (a state or a value from textField), I'm not able to get that value back.

I do update a textField for example and on my delegate I'm trying to change the modelData here are the differents trials I've made :

            onTextChanged: { //Here I try to update my model value 
                console.log("Value changed : " + text) //Here I do retrieve the right value
                dataView.model[index].value = text  //This is not working 
            }

            onTextChanged: { //Here I try to update my model value 
                console.log("Value changed : " + text) //Here I do retrieve the right value
                model.modelData.value = text //This is not working as well
            }

Do you have any idea on my problem ? I may be not clear on my explanation if so please ask me.

Dear @DavidM29 ,

You are using JS Key/Value pair as a model for your listview.
When you do this,

dataView.model[index].value = text

data in the Key/Value pair must be changed. You can confirm this by printing the value.
But the changed value is not affected in the listview.
If you rebind the model for the listview after setting this value, your changes will be affected.
Ex:

onTextChanged: { //Here I try to update my model value 
console.log("Value changed : " + text) //Here I do retrieve the right value
dataView.model[index].value = text  //This is not working 
dataView.model = container.model
}

But on every data change listview will be rebinded for all the properties.
I suggest, if you don't have any specific reason to use js Key/Value pair array, use ListModel from QML.

@Yaswanth

Thank you for that reply.
When you write :

dataView.model = container.model

What is container.model ? Is it the delegate or the parent of my listView ?

I do have specific reason to use Js Key/Value pair array. This reason is that it is the only working solution I found to translate one of the key at runtime with the Qt version I can use (Qt5.4)

@DavidM29

dataView.model = container.model

As you mentioned in your code

model: container.model //The js list model is declared in the container and called model

means you are assigning same model which you had already assigned.

I still can't get the value in the listView side.

As I said :
I do have specific reason to use Js Key/Value pair array. This reason is that it is the only working solution I found to translate one of the key at runtime with the Qt version I can use (Qt5.4)

The listModel using ListElement cannot use function as listElement and my translation as the Translation function of Qt5.4 is bugged need a function that return un empty String. So I'm force to use the JS.

So I did change the value in my TextField.
I log this :

           onTextChanged: {
                console.log("Value changed : " + text) //Log the value I entered
                dataView.model[index].value = text  //This is not working
                dataView.model = container.model
                console.log("Name : " + model.modelData.optionName) //I do log info to make sure I'm logging the right value (I do)
                console.log("Unite : " + model.modelData.unite)
            }

Then on the qml file containing the model and the list view I do that :

        console.log("Window : " + container.model[4].value);  //The index 4 is the one I'm playing with 
        console.log("DataView : " + dataView.model[4].value);

And the only value I do have is the default value.

@Yaswanth
Do you have any more ideas ?

[Yaswanth]

@DavidM29
Can you please check dataView.model[index].value after dataView.model = container.model?
If value is not changing, then there must be something wrong in setting value itself.

[DavidM29]

@Yaswanth
I just log the value and the value is not changing...

EDIT :
I just tried many different thing and finally found a working solution. I directly update the container model on my value changed :

container.model[index].value = text

And with that it seems that my value is set on my listview side so it is ok. Thank you for your help
