Unsolved QListView and QListWidget

[MokJ]

I've been reading about those two classes ,But can't figure out exactly when to use them.

for example , I wanted to create a list of labels to be displayed and when I click on the label something should happen.
Instead of doing that I created a QListWidget with String , which works fine.
But the question here is when should QListView be used and why?
Thank you.

@MokJ Take a look at http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/model-view-programming.html

@MokJ
QListWidget is derived from QListView. When you read the http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlistwidget.html page, everything there which is added/overridden represents what the differences are between the base QListView and the "pre-designed" QListWidget implementation.

From http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlistwidget.html#details:

QListWidget is a convenience class that provides a list view similar to the one supplied by QListView, but with a classic item-based interface for adding and removing items. QListWidget uses an internal model to manage each QListWidgetItem in the list.

For a more flexible list view widget, use the QListView class with a standard model.

That about sums up the differences. Adding/removing items interface. Plus it has its own model defined, instead of you using standard model or writing your own. That may or may not suit your particular data model.

Thanks @JonB and @jsulm .
Can you explain with any sort of example verbally, No code just any clue, cause I have tried both QListView and QlistWidget so a bit more clarity would be appreciated.
