Horizontalheaderview with QSortFilterProxyModel

[maxwell31]

Hi,

I have a question: I have a QAbstractTableModel which sets the headerData. Then I filter it with QSortFilterProxyModel and in QML I use the QuickControls2 TableView for displaying it, together with a Horizontalheaderview.

The problem: The headers don't get displayed if I put a QSortFilterProxymodel inbetween. If I set the TableView directly to QAbstractTableModel the headers get displayed correct.

From the HorizontalHeaderView documentation:

model is a QAbstractTableModel, its horizontal headerData() will be accessed.

If model is a QAbstractItemModel other than QAbstractTableModel, model's data() will be accessed.

Is it possible that QSortFilterProxyModel makes a QAbstractItemModel out of my tablemodel and therefore it stops working? Or does someone got this working?

Ok, the problem seems to linked to the following from the HorizontalHeaderView documentation:

The header displays data from the {syncView}'s model by default, but can also have its own model. If the model is a QAbstractTableModel, then the header will display the model's horizontal headerData(); otherwise, the model's data().

So the headerData ist not taken, which seems to be a weird default behaviour.

In case someone wants to reproduce this:
headers are displayed correctly if if use tableModel in the qml file, and it stops working if I use sortModel
