[SOLVED] QFileSystemModel without mouse/keybaord

ranshalit

Hello,

I’m very beginner in QT, and would like your advise…
I need to develop very simple QT window which:

shows files list in specific (known) folder .
enables to scroll between the files using signal/buttons from other application which enables: scroll up, scroll down, choose file for delete.
it run in embeded system, without mouse/keyboard (only the signal/communication from other process)

Can you please advise as to:

what kind of graphic/component I should choose for viewing the files in folder
Is it possible to do the selection with such signaling instead of keyboard/mouse. if yes – how?

Thank you!

Hi,

QListView + QFileSystemModel
What do you mean by "other application" ? A service running ? Another part of the same application ?

Hi!

I mean that there is another application aside from QT, which is a kind of service running, yes, and listens also to keypad buttons being pressed. What simple method do you suggest for communicating between these 2 process ?

Thank you,

You can use Qt's RPC classes like QLocaleServer/QLocalSocket or QSharedMemory.

Hi,

Just one more on this please...
The embedded system does not have mouse/keyboard....
Does QFileSystemModel (with QFileView) Qwidget enable to select / mark chose file as a method, or should we explicitly send some event/signal ?
Is the selected file will be highlighted (a file not a folder) , how ?

Thank you,
Ran
