changing the checkstate of all the child item by checking the root item in Qtree widget

[kook]

@jsulm
when i change the message1 state it should change only its children check state
i tried the code you provided its changing the whole tree check state

i don't have any specific condition

Then you did something wrong.
What do you pass as item in this line QTreeWidgetItemIterator iterator(item); ?
It needs to be the item user clicked (in your example message1).

auto state = item->checkState(0);
QTreeWidgetItemIterator iterator(item);
while (*iterator)
{
        qDebug()<< (*iterator)->text(0);
        (*iterator)->setCheckState(0, state);
        ++iterator;
}

@jsulm i am adding the code inside this function

void MainWindow::on_treeWidget_itemChanged(QTreeWidgetItem *item, int column)
{
}

@kook You're right. This does not work as expected.
You will need to write a recursive method to iterate over all children of an item.

@kook This works:

void MainWindow::on_treeWidget_itemChanged(QTreeWidgetItem *item, int column)
    for (int i = 0; i < item->childCount(); ++i) {
        qDebug() << item->child(i)->text(0);
        on_treeWidget_itemChanged(item->child(i), column);
    }
}

@jsulm ok i will try thank you

[jsulm]

@kook I just fixed my code...

[kook]

@jsulm its not changing the checked state of children

[jsulm]

@kook said in changing the checkstate of all the child item by checking the root item in Qtree widget:

its not changing the checked state of children

Come on, that's because I did not add the code to change the checked state. Add that part:

void MainWindow::on_treeWidget_itemChanged(QTreeWidgetItem *item, int column)
    for (int i = 0; i < item->childCount(); ++i) {
        qDebug() << item->child(i)->text(0);
        item->child(i)->setCheckState(0, item->checkState(0));
        on_treeWidget_itemChanged(item->child(i), column);
    }
}
