<![CDATA[Context menu on QTreeView item?]]>I have a QTreeView of a heirarchy of items, and it works fine. I've set up a context menu on that tree view, and that gets me a QPoint when I right-click on an item and select an action. How do I get the item I've right-clicked on from that QPoint?

Here's what I'm aiming for:

Item 1
Item 2
    |____ Item 2a <---- Right-click here
    |____ Item 2b
Item 3

I want to be able to right-click on Item 2a here, select "delete" from the context menu, and use the resulting QPoint to delete Item 2a and its associated data from the treeview. How do I go about that?

Just the link text was wrong as I first was on the item widgets instead views.

QAIV = QAbstractItemView

QAIV ???
itemAt() doesn't exist for QTreeView.
It's QTreeView::indexAt()

But in context menu, you receive a signal in a slot with no explicit mouse location.

@rjmx
You can retreive the selected cell, here some code of mine:

void BookmarksManager::contextMenuAction(QAction *action)
{
	QModelIndex selectedIndex;

	bool hasSelection=!sBookmarksDialog->treeView()->selectionModel()->selectedRows().isEmpty();

	if(hasSelection)
	{
		selectedIndex=sBookmarksDialog->treeView()->selectionModel()->selectedRows().first();
		
		if(action->objectName()==Menu_Delete)
		{
		// delete item here
		}
		else if(...)
		...
	}
