[Solved]QTableView storing Objects of a class.

[Sam]

Hi,

I am working on delegates and I have a requirement where i can store an object of a class in a QTableView. For eg
I have a class UserInformation storing some values. For each entry i am storing the object using

@info = new UserInformation();
info->setFirstName(ui->txtFirstName->text());
info->setLastName(ui->txtLastName->text());
//etc etc
QStandardItem item = new QStandardItem();
item->setData(QVariant::fromValue<void>(info),Qt::DisplayRole);
model->appendRow(item);@

I have a custom TableViewDelegate subclassed from QStyledItemDelegate. Where i am overriding the paint() function and trying to set/display the values associated to a particular object of class UserInformation in the tableview.

@void TableViewDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const
{
QStyledItemDelegate::paint(painter,option,index);

QVariant variant = index.data(Qt::DisplayRole);
UserInformation *childInfo = reinterpret_cast<UserInformation*>(variant.value<void*>());

if(childInfo!=NULL)
{  
      //here how can i set the values for each column in the QTableView
}

}@

Even if i set the values its only painted in the first column. Also i need to get back the object on_tableView_clicked(.....) when a row is selected. But the object is valid only if first column is selected.

I tried googling it but didnt get much help. I got a bit confused whether i need to override the paint() function of my custom delegate or i need to subclass QStandardItemModel and override data() / setData() function and do some changes there.

Here is a sample "image":http://imageshack.us/f/192/capturexhj.png/

Thanks :)

I found "address book example":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/itemviews-addressbook.html
and after going through the code i came to know that i need to subclass QAbstractTableModel and override the required functions. But still find this a long way to go as i need to store a single object for each/particular row.

Thanks for your time :)
