@Christian-Ehrlicher yep that was it. Can't believe I missed that for so long thank you both for the help

... or check inside the delegate functions if the row is still the one e.g. by checking the data to display.

Ah yes, of course, thats makes a lot of sense. I'll set the item as selected, and change the way i draw a selected item to match that of a hovered item. Thank you i think i was trying to overcomplicate things.

@JonB @SGaist @DerReisende Thank you all very much. Thats kinda tedious to do but guess thats how it is. Appreciate all your help and indeed mapFrom and mapToSource are what fixes my issue. :D Y'all have a nice day.

@Jammin44fm the paint method of QGraphicsItem is public so you can call it yourself with the painter you use in the delegate.

@StudentScripter great ! Then please mark the model as solved using the "Topic Tools" button or the dotted menu beside the answer you deem correct so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :-)

@Pl45m4 Worked like a charm, thank you very much. :)

@Chris-Kawa thank you very much. That definitely helped a lot. :) I have done the manual positioning now, so all delegates line up with the actual widget. :) void ViewLayerItemDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const { QStyleOptionViewItem opt = option; initStyleOption(&opt, index); // Überprüfen Sie, ob der aktuelle Index bearbeitet wird if (index == currentlyEditedIndex) { return; } // Setzen Sie die Werte der SpinBox und CheckBox basierend auf den Modellwerten QString lineEditvalue = index.model()->data(index, Qt::EditRole).toString(); bool checkBoxValue = index.model()->data(index, Qt::CheckStateRole).toBool(); // Laden Sie das Icon und skalieren Sie es QPixmap iconPixmap("://resource/quick.png"); // Ersetzen Sie dies durch den Pfad zu Ihrer Icon-Datei QPixmap scaledPixmap = iconPixmap.scaled(32, 32, Qt::KeepAspectRatio, Qt::SmoothTransformation); // Berechnen Sie die Position für das Icon int centerY = option.rect.top() + option.rect.height() / 2; int iconY = centerY - scaledPixmap.height() / 2; QPoint iconPos = QPoint(option.rect.left() + 10, iconY); // Zeichnen Sie das Pixmap mit dem QPainter painter->drawPixmap(iconPos, scaledPixmap); // Berechnen Sie die Position und Größe für das LineEdit QRect lineEditRect = option.rect; lineEditRect.setLeft(iconPos.x() + scaledPixmap.width() + 10); // Adjust as needed lineEditRect.setRight(option.rect.right() - 10); // Adjust as needed // Erstellen Sie ein QStyleOptionFrame für das LineEdit QStyleOptionFrame lineEditOption; lineEditOption.lineWidth = 1; // Setzen Sie die Liniendicke auf 1 lineEditOption.rect = lineEditRect; // Zeichnen Sie das LineEdit QApplication::style()->drawControl(QStyle::CE_ShapedFrame, &lineEditOption, painter); // Zeichnen Sie den Text des LineEdits painter->drawText(lineEditOption.rect.adjusted(2,0,0,0), Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignVCenter, lineEditvalue); // Berechnen Sie die Position und Größe für die CheckBox QRect checkBoxRect = option.rect; checkBoxRect.setLeft(lineEditRect.right() - 22); // Adjust as needed checkBoxRect.setRight(option.rect.right() - 10); // Adjust as needed // Erstellen Sie ein QStyleOptionButton für die CheckBox QStyleOptionButton checkBoxOption; checkBoxOption.state = checkBoxValue ? QStyle::State_On : QStyle::State_Off; checkBoxOption.rect = checkBoxRect; // Zeichnen Sie die CheckBox QApplication::style()->drawControl(QStyle::CE_CheckBox, &checkBoxOption, painter); }

@StudentScripter For the grouping you have to use an adequate data structure. As for hovering, IIRC, you have to have mouse tracking enabled on the view.

Many Thanks That worked great.

@JonB Huge thanks, you solved the puzzle for me!

@Gojir4 That worked well. I'm not sure how I could have missed this simple solution... Thank you a lot!

@Dariusz Interesting :) I guess it generates it only on demand, and doesn't do so during model reset.

@VRonin I want to do some heavy changes/customisations... stuff I cant do in CSS... Like moving expand button to opposite of tree, changing location of checkbox, changing indentation of child items. How can I control indentation of child items? I need it now :/ I keep getting "invisible" hitboxes as my child item is moved to left visually but hitboxes are drawn in original places :/// Ideas? I just realized there is "setIndentation"... sigh............ Ok that kinda works, how can I set indentation per row? :D

A colleague of mine, that used Qt for years, helped me. The culprit was (other than me) that I wrongly created the parent of the children.

I may have misread the code back then but nice that you are taking care of it.
