<![CDATA[QVariant convert to QBrush]]>I am working with a QTreeview.
Using:
index_data = treeview.model.data(index, QT::ForegroundRole)
index_data.type()
> 66 -> QBrush
index_data.canConvert(66)

1
index_data.convert(66)
1
So all indications are that the QVariant was converted to QBrush,
however I am unable to call any QBrush functions on idex_data.
I am doing all of this in Squish

I am ultimately looking for the color of text in the index.

I tried multiple variations of your code all give me <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>.
I am contacting them. Thanks for the help.

There you have your QBrush object you want to test

When I convert the QVariant to a QBrush I expect that I can call color()
and verify that it was set properly. However when I convert the Qvariant to QBrush the functions available to me are those of the QVariant not QBrush. Is there a better way to get text color from an QModelIndex?

you should rather use

index_data.canConvert<QBrush>()

then

QBrush brush = index_data.value<QBrush>();
//modify brush
treeview->model()->setData(index, brush, Qt::ForegroundRole);

Hope it helps
