QTransposeproxymodel rewrite?

[firen]

Hi everyone,

I have two views (where always only one is visible).

1. First view uses a derived version of QAbstractTableModel (with many individual stuff for inserts and so on)
2. The second view uses the same model, but with QTransposeProxyModel between ist:

  m_modelTransposed = new QTransposeProxyModel(this);
  m_modelTransposed->setSourceModel(m_model);

In this situation m_modelTransposed doesn´t know the individual stuff I wrote for the model of the "first view", because setSourceModel gets a pointer of QAbstractItemModel, (called Upcast, right?)

Maybe its now a little bit late, but what would be the best approach, that I can use the individual stuff from the model of 1. in the view of 2. but with the functionalitiy of QTransposeProxyModel as well?

Do I have to rewrite QTransposeProxyModel completly?

Some ideas or hints would be enough :-)

Thank you!

If I understand your question correctly. This is where you can use C++ dynamic_cast<> (or Qt qobject_cast<>) for somewhere to determine what derived type a QAbstractTableModel actually is.

MyDerivedModel *myDerivedModel= dynamic_cast<MyDerivedModel *>(m_modelTransposed->sourceModel());
if (myDerivedModel)
{
    // it's a `MyDerivedModel`
    myDerivedModel->someMethodOfMyDerivedModel();   // :)
}

P.S.
If I have misunderstood and you have m_modelTransposed points to QTransposeProxyModel points to SomeModelOfYours, and you want m_modelTransposed to be able to get at SomeModelOfYours, then you can go via

QTransposeProxyModel *proxyModel = dynamic_cast<QTransposeProxyModel *>(m_modelTransposed->sourceModel());
if (proxyModel)
{
    MyModel *myModel = dynamic_cast<MyModel  *>(proxyModel->sourceModel());
    if (myModel) ...
}

I get confused as to which situation you are asking about :) But one of the above should help?

What is "stuff from the model of 1"? data should be managed automatically

Thanks guys so far!

Maybe I am in less trouble than I thought (see @VRonin s comment) I am not 100% sure to be honest. I am going to implement a new Dialog where I will realy need the transposed view.
Maybe then it is easier to understand for me what the problem is or if there is no real problem... :-)

I leave this ticket open if thats ok
