Change filtered data representation in a tree using QStandardItemModel

giupigna

I have a tree structure using a QStandardItemModel. The model has only a rootItem and each item has one or more children. I added a search bar to find an item in the model.

Suppose to have this tree structure:

RootItem
|_________ Item1
              |_______Item 2
              |_______Item 3
|
|_________ Item4
              |_______Item 3
|
|_________ Item5

If the user searches the string "Item 3" what I want to do is to display the results in the same treeView in the following way:

RootItem
|_________ Item1
              |_______Item 3

RootItem
|_________ Item4
              |_______Item 3

How can I do it? Do I need to subclass the QSortFilterProxyModel or QIdentityProxyModel or something else? Of course I must not change the data structure in the source model.

Hi,

I'd subclass QSortFilterProxyModel and re-implement filterAcceptsRow. It's not what QIdentityProxyModel is designed for.
