how to add pictures to a qt widget table in qt

SGaist

Well, user management systems are often coupled with web technologies.

Is it your case ?

As for getting data into widget, QDataWidgetMapper comes to mind.

@SGaist and is it possible to put pictures inside QDataWidgetMapper ?

SGaist

QDataWidgetMapper does the link between widgets and database fields.

How are you storing images in that database ?

the_owler

@SGaist its a mysql server with a database
i am using c++ connector
and reading a pic image binary and store it inside the database in a longblob or blob var type

SGaist

Is the format of the picture fixed ?

the_owler

sorry for late xD 600 second cooldown
@SGaist u mean by fixed is that a single format ? like png or jpg ?
if so no it wwill be just one format
and its controlable by the user

*its a desktop app that is controlable by just one user so the format type is not an issue

SGaist

Will you use a QTableView ? If so you can either use a custom QIdentityProxyModel that will create a QPixmap from the blob for the DecorationRole or a custom QStyledItemDelegate to draw the blob.

@SGaist you think qtableview is the best way to show the data ? or there is other better way to do it
if not thank you so much
that was very helpful <3

SGaist

It depends on how you want your user to access the data.

i want something like this picture :
Student Management System
with some pics on each student

This looks like a classic web application.

While you can do the front end with Qt, I think you should first rethink your backend architecture to provide all the services needed to manage such an application.

thank you so much <3
