QTableView inside a QDialog

[schij]

I have a QTableView inside a dialog and a custom model attached to the view. The model changes my data when the user edits the table; however if the dialog is rejected (cancel button) I would like to restore my original data before the edits. Is there a way the model can handle that, or do I have to make a copy of my data before launching the dialog and restore it after the dialog closes?

It's possible to hold the "new" data in a seperate list (via model->setData) and when the dialog is closed add an extra function that validates and replaces/adds the new data to your model. Not a problem there. No idea what kind of data you have though.
An other option might be to "copy" your original data into a new model, set the view to that model, let it all change what is needed and when the dialog is closed, check if there are any differences between the models.

The data set is fairly small; I think I will go with keeping a local copy in the model and add a function to the model that will "pushData" outside. I can call this when the dialog is accepted.
Thank you
