Problem in QListWidget item's renaming after executing a message box...

M_31

i have to set my QListWidget item's as editable like..
@
// this slot will execute when i press 'edit' from context menu Edit option
void testDlg::editList()
{
QListWidgetItem *item = ui->listWidget->currentItem();
item->setFlags( item->flags() | Qt::ItemIsEditable );

ui->listWidget->editItem( item );

}

@

after editing the item , i will do a check , if the item is already present or not
If YES then i will throw a message like

@
QMessageBox msg;
msg.setText(QString("Name already exists in this group!!"));
msg.exec();
emit editgroup(); // the corresponding SLOT is editlist()
@

After this message , my focus is still in edited item, but its not showing the corresponding item as editable..

I'm not sure to understand what's your issue (maybe someone else will !).

So, could you explain a little bit more and post a more complete snippet of code ?

I have QListWidget with 4 items inside.

e.g.,
group1
group2
group3
group4

I can edit these items by pressing F2 button from the keyboard by placing the cursor on anyone of these items

let say , if i try to change the 4th item from "group4" to "group1".
My application will throw some error like

"Name 'group1' already exist in this list"
@
//i am getting the message using the following code
QMessageBox msg;
msg.setText(QString("Name").append(strName).append(" already exists in this list"));
msg.exec();
emit editgroup(); // the corresponding SLOT is editlist()
@
after throwing this error message , i want to have the same item as editable as i had before ..like when i press the F2 button from the keyboard....BUT ITS NOT OCCURING... :-(
Even i am calling the SLOT editlist from the SIGNAL editgroup() ..after getting this messagebox
@
connect( this, SIGNAL(editgroup()), this SLOT(editlist());
@

@
// this is the slot function.
void testDlg::editList()
{
QListWidgetItem *item = ui->listWidget->currentItem();
item->setFlags( item->flags() | Qt::ItemIsEditable );
ui->listWidget->editItem( item );
}
