[SOLVED]Problem while using 'itemFromIndex'.

ealione

I have a listWidget in my form and I decided using it's
on_listView_clicked(const QModelIndex &index)
signal.

In the slot implementation I want to get the item clicked each time so since I have the item index I thought about using
QListWidgetItem * curItm = ui->listView->itemFromIndex(index);

But I get the error:
'itemFromIndex' is a protected member of 'QListWidget'

How can I use this particular function?

Since this is a protected method (I do not know why) then what one could do is subclass QListWidget. If that is not a n option maybe an alternative could be using

QListWidgetItem* curItm = ui->listView->item(index->row());

Hi,

Why not use the currentItemChanged signal ?

Hi SGaist,
Mainly because I have also put checkboxes next to each item. I still want the function to fire up no matter if the user clicks the checkbox or the item.
That is why I think what I suggest (only in this case) is a better idea.
