How to use QMapIterator with typedef'd QMultiMap [solved]

kloveridge

I use always use typedef to setup any STL type funcitonality (including QMap, QVector, etc..)

So for example, I have this:

@typedef QMultiMap<float, int>DistanceSorter;

// To use this, I now can do this:

DistanceSorter s;
s[1.0] = 0;
s[50.0] = 1;
s[25] = 2;
@

I have used this convention for many years. But I need to do a reverse iterator through my list and I can't figure out how to do this.

I've tried this:

@

DistanceSorter pset;

pset[2.0] = 0;
pset[1] = 1;
pset[.5] = 3;

QMapIterator<DistanceSorter> it<pset>;
it.toBack();
while( it.hasPrevious() ) {
it.previous();
ParticleObj *p = m_particles[it.value()];
p->generatePoly(m_pVtxStream+idx++);
}@

But QMapIterator doesn't like this syntax. How do I use QMapIterator in this situation?

This worked:
@
DistanceSorter pset;

pset[2.0] = 0;
pset[1] = 1;
pset[.5] = 3;

QMapIterator<float, int> it(pset);
it.toBack();
while( it.hasPrevious() ) {
it.previous();
ParticleObj *p = m_particles[it.value()];
p->generatePoly(m_pVtxStream+idx++);
}
@

I had two problems. One: I can't use my typdef argument in the <> portion of the syntax. And I put Brackets after the iterator (supposed to be it(pset) not it<pset>).
