The QStandardItemModel class provides a generic model for storing custom data.
QStandardItemModel can be used as a repository for standard Qt data types. It is one of the Model/View Classes and is part of Qt's model/view framework.
QStandardItemModel provides a classic item-based approach to working with the model. The items in a QStandardItemModel are provided by QStandardItem.
QStandardItemModel implements the QAbstractItemModel interface, which means that the model can be used to provide data in any view that supports that interface (such as QListView, QTableView and QTreeView, and your own custom views). For performance and flexibility, you may want to subclass QAbstractItemModel to provide support for different kinds of data repositories. For example, the QDirModel(obsolete) provides a model interface to the underlying file system.
When you want a list or tree, you typically create an empty QStandardItemModel and use appendRow() to add items to the model, and item() to access an item. If your model represents a table, you typically pass the dimensions of the table to the QStandardItemModel constructor and use setItem() to position items into the table. You can also use setRowCount() and setColumnCount() to alter the dimensions of the model. To insert items, use insertRow() or insertColumn(), and to remove items, use removeRow() or removeColumn().
You can set the header labels of your model with setHorizontalHeaderLabels() and setVerticalHeaderLabels().
You can search for items in the model with findItems(), and sort the model by calling sort().
Call clear() to remove all items from the model.
An example usage of QStandardItemModel to create a table:
QStandardItemModel model(4, 4); for (int row = 0; row < 4; ++row) { for (int column = 0; column < 4; ++column) { QStandardItem *item = new QStandardItem(QString("row %0, column %1").arg(row).arg(column)); model.setItem(row, column, item); } }
An example usage of QStandardItemModel to create a tree:
QStandardItemModel model; QStandardItem *parentItem = model.invisibleRootItem(); for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) { QStandardItem *item = new QStandardItem(QString("item %0").arg(i)); parentItem->appendRow(item); parentItem = item; }
After setting the model on a view, you typically want to react to user actions, such as an item being clicked. Since a QAbstractItemView provides QModelIndex-based signals and functions, you need a way to obtain the QStandardItem that corresponds to a given QModelIndex, and vice versa. itemFromIndex() and indexFromItem() provide this mapping. Typical usage of itemFromIndex() includes obtaining the item at the current index in a view, and obtaining the item that corresponds to an index carried by a QAbstractItemView signal, such as QAbstractItemView.clicked(). First you connect the view's signal to a slot in your class:
QTreeView *treeView = new QTreeView(this); treeView->setModel(myStandardItemModel); connect(treeView, SIGNAL(clicked(QModelIndex)), this, SLOT(clicked(QModelIndex)));
When you receive the signal, you call itemFromIndex() on the given model index to get a pointer to the item:
void MyWidget.clicked(const QModelIndex &index) { QStandardItem *item = myStandardItemModel->itemFromIndex(index); // Do stuff with the item ... }
Conversely, you must obtain the QModelIndex of an item when you want to invoke a model/view function that takes an index as argument. You can obtain the index either by using the model's indexFromItem() function, or, equivalently, by calling QStandardItem.index():
treeView->scrollTo(item->index());
You are, of course, not required to use the item-based approach; you could instead rely entirely on the QAbstractItemModel interface when working with the model, or use a combination of the two as appropriate.

Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.index().
Returns the QModelIndex associated with the given item.
Use this function when you want to perform an operation that requires the QModelIndex of the item, such as QAbstractItemView.scrollTo(). QStandardItem.index() is provided as convenience; it is equivalent to calling this function.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also itemFromIndex() and QStandardItem.index().

Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.insertColumns().
The items argument has it's ownership transferred to Qt.
Inserts a row at row containing items. If necessary, the column count is increased to the size of items.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also insertRows(), insertColumn(), and removeRow().
This is an overloaded function.
Inserts a row at row containing item.
When building a list or a tree that has only one column, this function provides a convenient way to append a single new item.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.insertRows().
Returns the model's invisible root item.
The invisible root item provides access to the model's top-level items through the QStandardItem API, making it possible to write functions that can treat top-level items and their children in a uniform way; for example, recursive functions involving a tree model.
Note: Calling index() on the QStandardItem object retrieved from this function is not valid.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
Returns the item for the given row and column if one has been set; otherwise returns 0.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also setItem(), takeItem(), and itemFromIndex().
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.itemData().
See also setItemData().
Returns a pointer to the QStandardItem associated with the given index.
Calling this function is typically the initial step when processing QModelIndex-based signals from a view, such as QAbstractItemView.activated(). In your slot, you call itemFromIndex(), with the QModelIndex carried by the signal as argument, to obtain a pointer to the corresponding QStandardItem.
Note that this function will lazily create an item for the index (using itemPrototype()), and set it in the parent item's child table, if no item already exists at that index.
If index is an invalid index, this function returns 0.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also indexFromItem().
Returns the item prototype used by the model. The model uses the item prototype as an item factory when it needs to construct new items on demand (for instance, when a view or item delegate calls setData()).
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also setItemPrototype().
The QMimeData result
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.mimeData().
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.mimeTypes().
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.parent().
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.removeColumns().
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.removeRows().
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.rowCount().

Sets the number of columns in this model to columns. If this is less than columnCount(), the data in the unwanted columns is discarded.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also columnCount() and setRowCount().
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.setData().
See also data().
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.setHeaderData().
See also headerData().
The item argument has it's ownership transferred to Qt.
Sets the horizontal header item for column to item. The model takes ownership of the item. If necessary, the column count is increased to fit the item. The previous header item (if there was one) is deleted.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also horizontalHeaderItem(), setHorizontalHeaderLabels(), and setVerticalHeaderItem().
Sets the horizontal header labels using labels. If necessary, the column count is increased to the size of labels.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also setHorizontalHeaderItem().
The item argument has it's ownership transferred to Qt.
Sets the item for the given row and column to item. The model takes ownership of the item. If necessary, the row count and column count are increased to fit the item. The previous item at the given location (if there was one) is deleted.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also item().
The aitem argument has it's ownership transferred to Qt.
This is an overloaded function.
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemModel.setItemData().
See also itemData().
The item argument has it's ownership transferred to Qt.
Sets the item prototype for the model to the specified item. The model takes ownership of the prototype.
The item prototype acts as a QStandardItem factory, by relying on the QStandardItem.clone() function. To provide your own prototype, subclass QStandardItem, reimplement QStandardItem.clone() and set the prototype to be an instance of your custom class. Whenever QStandardItemModel needs to create an item on demand (for instance, when a view or item delegate calls setData())), the new items will be instances of your custom class.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also itemPrototype() and QStandardItem.clone().
Sets the number of rows in this model to rows. If this is less than rowCount(), the data in the unwanted rows is discarded.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also rowCount() and setColumnCount().
The item argument has it's ownership transferred to Qt.
Sets the vertical header item for row to item. The model takes ownership of the item. If necessary, the row count is increased to fit the item. The previous header item (if there was one) is deleted.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also verticalHeaderItem(), setVerticalHeaderLabels(), and setHorizontalHeaderItem().
Sets the vertical header labels using labels. If necessary, the row count is increased to the size of labels.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also setVerticalHeaderItem().
