Editing data in QStyledItemDelegate using QTextEditor

gabor53

Hi,
I use the following code to write the modified text back to the model and save the changes to the db:

QTextEdit *tedit = qobject_cast<QTextEdit*>(editor);
            QModelIndex updateIndex(index.model ()->index(index.row (),0,index.parent ()));

            QString fixID;
            QVariant v(updateIndex.data (Qt::DisplayRole));
            fixID = v.toString ();
            qDebug() << "FixID: " << fixID;

            QModelIndex updateIndex2(index.model ()->index(index.row (),6,index.parent ()));

            QString descItem;
            QVariant desc(updateIndex2.data (Qt::DisplayRole));
            descItem = desc.toString ();
            qDebug() << "descItem: " << descItem;

            model->setData (index,tedit->setText(descItem));
            QVariant de(index.data (Qt::DisplayRole));
            QString fixedDescr;
            fixedDescr = de.toString ();
            fixquery.prepare ("UPDATE Items SET Color = :Color WHERE ID = :fixID ");
            fixquery.bindValue (":Color",fixedDescr);
            fixquery.bindValue (":fixID",fixID);
            fixquery.exec ();

The model->setData (index,tedit->setText(descItem)); line generates an error message:
C:\Programming\Projects\Folkfriends_1_0\mydelegate.cpp:194: error: invalid use of void expression
model->setData (index,tedit->setText(descItem));
^
How can I fix that line to make it work? Thank you for your help.

Hi
In
The model->setData (index,tedit->setText(descItem));
You give it :
tedit->setText(descItem)
But that is a function call and it returns void.

So something like this
QString str = tedit->toPlainText();
model->setData (index,str);

For anyone who got here googling: the above is not a nice example of how to use a delegate
