How to display icons in QTableView via a custom QAbstractItemModel?

a5med

I'm building a custom QAbstractItemModel model.

The first column contains icons, the second one - text.

This is the code of the data method:

@QVariant data ( const QModelIndex & index, int role = Qt::DisplayRole ) const
{
if(role != Qt::DisplayRole )
return QVariant();

int col = index.column();
if (col == 0)
{
    return iconProvider->icon(QFileIconProvider::Folder);
}
else if (col == 1)
{
    return "TEXT";
}

}@
But all I get in the resulting Table View is just text in the second column. There's no folder icon in the first column.

I know I have to use Qt::DecorationRole, however I never receive it in the role parameter!

So silly of me. The solution is obvious:

@QVariant data ( const QModelIndex & index, int role = Qt::DisplayRole ) const
{
int col = index.column();

    if (role== Qt::DecorationRole)
    {
        if (col == 0 )
        {
            return iconProvider->icon(QFileIconProvider::Folder);
        }
    }
    else if (role == Qt::DisplayRole)
    {
        if (col == 1)
                    {
                    return "HELLO";
        }
    }
    else
    {
        return QVariant();
    }
}@
