How to Insert checkbox in root of Qtreeview. Treeview is created by using QDOMDocument reading XML file.

Then upload an image to your post (best, the post toolbar has "cloud" icon tooltip Upload Image), or at worst given a link to where the image can be seen. If you think I am going to download an image you want me to look at from a site , I am not.

[I presume you also want a checkbox against the devices node.] So you want a checkbox against each node in the tree, but not against leaves? So check to see (in data()) whether the DomItem item for the index has any children or not.

@JonB Yes they have childItems

@Aviral-0
I know! So test for that when deciding whether to request a checkbox or not, in place of your && !index.parent().isValid() which is currently restricting them to root-only node.

@JonB
Yes, but removing that causes checkboxes at every line,
I only want at items which are root or parent to some items. Not on leafs

@Aviral-0
You are ignoring what I am writing. I told you how to do that, you have not acted on it.

@JonB I have tried it bro... I tried removing !index.parent.isvalid()
and placing some other functions.
I am not fully understanding of what you are suggesting. can you tell me what to write there?

QVariant DomModel::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const
{
    if (!index.isValid())
        return QVariant();

    DomItem *item = static_cast<DomItem*>(index.internalPointer());
    const QDomNode node = item->node();

   // if ( role == Qt::CheckStateRole && !index.parent().isValid())
    //if ( role == Qt::CheckStateRole && index.column() == 0 )
    if ( role == Qt::CheckStateRole && (index.column() == 0)  )
    {
        return static_cast< int >( item->isChecked() ? Qt::Checked : Qt::Unchecked );
}
    if (role != Qt::DisplayRole)
        return QVariant();

    switch (index.column()) {
        case 0:
            return node.nodeName();
        case 1:
        {
            const QDomNamedNodeMap attributeMap = node.attributes();
            QStringList attributes;
            for (int i = 0; i < attributeMap.count(); ++i) {
                QDomNode attribute = attributeMap.item(i);
                attributes << attribute.nodeName() + "=\""
                              + attribute.nodeValue() + '"';
            }
            return attributes.join(' ');
        }
        case 2:
            return node.nodeValue().split('\n').join(' ');
        default:
            break;

    }

    return item->data(index.column());
}


Qt::ItemFlags DomModel::flags(const QModelIndex &index) const
{
    if (!index.isValid())
        return Qt::NoItemFlags;

    Qt::ItemFlags flags = Qt::ItemIsEnabled | Qt::ItemIsSelectable;

    if ( index.column() == 0 )
        flags |= Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable;
    return flags;
}

I am not your "bro"! You need to replace the original && !index.parent().isValid() with the condition for QDomNode node not having any children.

@JonB You don't know anything, just arrogant rude. I didn't find any solutions to my problem from you!

What about "You need to replace the original && !index.parent().isValid() with the condition for QDomNode node not having any children." from @JonB - did you do that?

Please state polite...

Just wow! I have made over a dozen posts so far over a week trying to help you solve your issues. Told you at each stage what to do, and at least a couple of times what to do now. Why don't you have a look back up? Thanks for nothing, bro.
