@mrjj I prefer to be able to press F to zoom in to selected items as the selection might happen in another widget. Look at 3d apps with scenegraphs. They don't use search by key. @Christian-Ehrlicher said in QTreeView disable scroll to letter match...: @Dariusz said in QTreeView disable scroll to letter match...: How can I disable this ? OVerwrite QAbstractItemView::keyboardSearch() Thanks! Sounds like that might be it :- )

Then maybe QTreeView::drawBranches is what you are looking for.

In fact, it's the QTreeView::drawBranch that handles that.

@mrjj said in QTreeView remove dotted line when selected: SeitsemaN Worked like charm, thanks!

Yo It appears that I was almost there... just need to create a proper drag! def initializeDrag(self, event, option, index): self.dragInitialized = True print("Drag initialized!") drag = QDrag(self) mim = QMimeData() mim.setText("yoyoyooy") drag.setMimeData(mim) val = drag.exec_() print("Return drag val : ", val) self.dragInitialized = False Once thats made, I then have to handle dragEnterEvent on QTreeView and then pass it to proper function from there... yay!

@Pl45m4 said in QTreeView - from bottom to top ?: @Dariusz How should the TreeView know where to put the first item, when there is no item inside (Spacing etc). What kind of items / data do you have in your TreeView? You could insert new branches above the top-most existing one manually. The item would start at bottom and every new item would go above previous item. @mrjj said in QTreeView - from bottom to top ?: Hi Can i ask what use the case is? I never saw such a flipped tree. Also the scrolling would be very confusing. :) For example photoshop, has top-down relationship where layer above occludes layer below. It would make sense then to grow layers from bottom not from top :- )

which style parameter do I have to edit to control the color of item when the widget loses focus? QTreeView::item:active { color: red; } /* When widget has focus*/ QTreeView::item:!active { color: blue; } /* When widget doesn't have focus*/ if I do show-decoration-selected: 1; How do I control decoration color ? It depends on the platform styling. For example on Windows it only colors on hover the little arrow that expands/collapses the branch and that arrow is painted by a system style call so you can't control its color. You can however replace the system styling and change the branch images to your own with any color you like. See Customizing QTreeView for examples.

Well my ASAP took a lot longer than I thought... anyway I went with Method 1 and it works like charm! Thank you so much! The only thing I had to tweak was to call update() at the end of mouse release, as apparently, the selection flag in my scenario was happening after selection, so when the painter was painting items the child was not marked selected... after that it all tick! TIA!

@mrjj My task is to drag items from QTreeView to another widget. But when I try to drag item this item makes selected. I need to drag items without selection them. So I want to reimplement mousePressEvent. But I still need to collapse/expand items, so if I reimplement mousePressEvent I need to see which area of the item (string or sign) user pressed.

I'm using abstractItemModel / my own item, I ensure that columnCount return correct number of columns, yet it's still wrong. In regard to using proxyModels, I'd love to use it, but I only found few examples and I'm struggling as to how I would do it. Any hints wold be great, I would prefer to use a proxy instead here. I literally have no idea how I can simulate setRootIndex with proxyModel, since I need to see parentItem of the item that I wish to set as rootitem and I don't want to see these parent items... here was me early attempt > https://forum.qt.io/topic/102227/qsortfilterproxymodel-simulate-new-root-index/2 @Christian-Ehrlicher I'm totally blaming you for me going this setRootIndex road as I was trying proxy early and you said to use this : p

That article answers quite a few questions I had about that scenario, woah nice thanks! But... I kinda like the idea of more "control"... somehow, creating the widget this way allow the user to resize it which won't be possible using a popup, so I would like to get the focus to work properly... TIA

Hey Got a follow up question in regards to styling... How can I get QComboBox focus indicator/rect ? So that I can set correct color for the outline of comboBox to paint? I tried using QRect r = QApplication::style()->subElementRect(QStyle::SE_ComboBoxLayoutItem, &option, mWidgetList[ComboBox]); and QRect r = QApplication::style()->subElementRect(QStyle::SE_ComboBoxFocusRect, &option, mWidgetList[ComboBox]); But neither return correct rect to use as paint target... Only the large square one around item in tree view. Any hints? Same for QPushButton, and pretty much any button/combo like widget I think o.O TIA.

I've wrote 1 treeView/model system last year that had it all re-implemented from scratch, a few days ago I decided to rewrite it to increase performance and relay more on native functions of QT. Which I did and works great but the margin thing is a sticking point. I remember how much work it was before to get it to work properly... took a while as I had to write quite a few functions before I got to the point of margin detection. I'm very surprised there is no margin = (qt code ) + userMarginOverrideVal in the canDrop() function... this would have allowed us to just say, hey add +5 pixels to detection or something like that... Perhaps I should add it to feature request, would posting it in a bug report tracker be a good place? I don't see feature requests and I have no idea how to get the source to compile (Just didn't spend enough time on it) and add it myself & post to qt as commit... As far as I can tell we need like 2 functions, setOverrideMargin(int val) and getOverrideMargin(), skipping setting flag true/false if we want to use it as defaultVal should just be 0... TIA

@raven-worx said in QTreeView/Model drop action - no expand sign ?: Also did you emit the dataChanged() signal on the parent index? I've just read the post. I forgot to correct it. This is what I edit: bool testModel::dropMimeData(const QMimeData *data, Qt::DropAction action, int row, int column, const QModelIndex &parent) { ... Q_EMIT dataChanged(itemFirst.index(),itemLast.index()) } Hmmmm so I tried this, the parent is the object that is in function above. Q_EMIT dataChanged(parent, parent) Now this now "magically" works, I get extra ">" when I drop item on another item... I also learned that I also need to call Q_EMIT layoutChanged({parent}/flag) to update view if I drop items on expanded parent... Ok all good then, thanks! Weird issue o.o

@SGaist Woah... I have lots to read! Thanks! Gotta dig into proxier more then.

Hi, One alternative could be to use QRubberBand and draw it on top of the lines/cells you are interested in.

@b2soft I want to customize BrowserModel ::data() returning colors using QSS @raven-worx knows much more than I, but I don't get this. role == Qt::TextColorRole will want to return a QBrush (http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#ItemDataRole-enum). How is that linked to returning a string to use for a name in a stylesheet? :confused:

Ok so after LOTS of fighting with QTreeView... I started looking at viewport() and wuaila! void myTree::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *event) { QAbstractItemView::resizeEvent(event); b->setFixedSize(event->size().width(), 25); b->move(0,height()-25); viewport()->setMaximumHeight(height() - 50); }; Now my viewport gets painted exactly where I want it to, and the extra buttons can be placed in area where I want it to (b is the button) + its all nice all in one widget. I can expose needed controls for b as pert spec but drawing is as it should. Yay!

@Dariusz said in Multithreading conversion of QModelIdnexList to treeItem crash: Well I have 100k items +/- to deal with Then you should avoid to dereference the pointers to not copy the data around. I created the base vectors via QVector<myTreeNode> vec(vecSize) and I access them all via [], so no thread should step over another thread, It does as your backtrace shows. Since you're using QVector which is implicit shared every write access to the container checks if the container needs to get detached. Maybe try with a non-implicit shared container instead (e.g. a std::vector) See http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/implicit-sharing.html for details.

I'll update this post once I go anywhere with it This feedback sounds promising. I am becoming more curious around another description for a similar use case: An associative table can be created. QStandardItem objects can be generated then based on table entries. Which ways would you like to recommend for the connection of entities to their relationship data?

@JonB This code is a small example to find solution. In my real project i need to show tree with different items and nested trees.

Ok I found what was causing this awful bug. When I check if the map contains the index, I actually check the raw index not the QPersistantModelIndex so this is not the same object and I think qmap does not check equality using == operator . So I have to iterate over the map and check using QPersistantModelIndex "==" operators which can compare from a QModelIndex.

Hey Just thoguh I'd drop a "temporary" solution I'm testing now. I ended up extending qtreeView, and capturing expand/collapse signals. Then I generate a QSet with these ids that later I can store/restore via model()->match(id) idea. Not sure how well it will work in very large data sets, say 100k items and 10k expanded state items, But well see.

What model are you using? QStandardItemModel had the roles argument working from Qt 5.11 onward. An empty role vector implies "all roles changed"

@Athius Sure it works, here my code for a bookmark tree: bool dropMimeData(const QMimeData *data, Qt::DropAction action, int row, int column, const QModelIndex &parent) { Q_UNUSED(column) if(action EQ Qt::IgnoreAction) return false; if(action EQ Qt::MoveAction) { QByteArray bytes=data->data(MIME_Bookmark); QDataStream stream(&bytes,QIODevice::QIODevice::ReadOnly); qintptr i; int r,c; stream>>i>>r>>c; QModelIndex index=createIndex(r,c,i); moveRow(index,index.row(),parent,row); } return true; } Of course you need to create and return your custom data in mimeData () as well.

A late reply, but it looks like those elements are different in that they don't have children. Have you checked that you don't have a style with QTreeView::item:!has-children { padding: ... } defined anywhere which could be overriding the style when applied at the branch level?

@VRonin: Ok, updated to 5.10.1

Then you have to propagate the information when your underlying data changes.

I'm sorry but I still don't get how you would like it to look

@MrBolton Sorry, I really don't understand your comment. Precisely the point is that with "bigger data sets" you would have to fetch all the data, which is incredibly slow and may well exceed available memory. (OTOH, if the dataset is "small" the overhead of re-query compared to holding all the previous rows locally is also "small".) As a rule of thumb, one always wants as much work to be done at the server side as possible, not client side. Let's say the table has a million rows and the query I want to pose is: SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY column LIMIT 100 Very approximately, pushing the ORDER BY to the server instead of into a QSortFilterProxyModel will run 10 thousand times faster and use one ten-thousandth of the client memory. That's why I would be very careful before advising people to use QSortFilterProxyModel without understanding the ramifications!

rather than the delegate I'd reimplement QTreeView: protected: virtual void drawBranches(QPainter *painter, const QRect &rect, const QModelIndex &index) const virtual void drawRow(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const and slots void collapse(const QModelIndex &index) void expand(const QModelIndex &index) But agree is not straightforward and will require some work

Thank you for your suggestion. I think it's what I'll eventually settle for, fairly easy to indeed, using just one SQL query. Although, I'm starting to think ... wouldn't my original aim be easier to fulfil using TreeWidget and not TreeView?

Hello guys. Thanks for your answerS. The "error" was simple, stupid. In fact the _manageOrderedTable is an instance of a class called ManageOrderedTable which inherits from QTableWidget. In this class, there's a method called fillAll and I called setColumnCount() from there. Bad idea. When I call this method from upon the for loop, everything is fine. I don't understand why. I could understand if setColumnCount() were called too late, but in this case I should have a segfault, trying to call a cell that doesn't exist. Well, I don't really understand why but now it works... Tank you for your help, Patrick.

@michalos I'm not sure if I can help you but seems like model test code works for me. What I did: Added modeltest.h and cpp into my project Added "testlib" into "QT" section of project file Added this to modeltest.h: #include <QtTest/qtestcase.h> #define qVariantCanConvert(_type_, _var_) _var_.canConvert(QMetaType::_type_) Changed expressions like "qVariantCanConvert<QString> ( variant)" to "qVariantCanConvert(QString, variant)" in modeltest.h And... my sample model failed to pass the test of course :D

Ok. I've found the answer. I subclass the QTreeView and override the void resizeEvent(QResizeEvent* e) as shown: void MyTreeView::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *e) { if(model() != Q_NULLPTR){ model()->layoutChanged(); } QTreeView::resizeEvent(e); } And it did the trick. Had help from the Voidrealms Facebook group.

@Yohdu said: My second and main question is then : how to implement correct drag and drop operations with custom QStandardItem which needs to own custom data ? With the standard item widgets/models you can't drag-n-drop custom item roles. This makes sense, since the model doesn't know which UserRole+ was set. It would need to iterate all possible item-role values when creating the drop-data. The only solution i see is to create your own custom model and reimplement the needed drag-n-drop methods. This also give you full control over your data structure storing the data inside the model. This is more work, but you will learn a lot and gain some performance (by avoiding the standard-item classes)
