Method QListWidget::insertItem for QListWidget which is painting with ItemDelegate class [SOLVED]

[luke147]

I defined method ItemDelegate::paint which paints a list item.
Inserted item is added always to end of the list.
See my screen-shots:

Ok, so the issue is that the added item is put last in the list
and you want it to be after the first in the list ?

so
insertItem( 1 , "im new" );

will not put it in 2 place ?

[luke147]

I need to put the item by the specified index.
The new item is inserted always only at the end.
First, second etc. or last but always by the specified index.
I use:

insertItem( index , item );

But item is put always at the end.

@mrjj said:

and how do you get the index ?
you use for
insertItem( index , item );

Also just for test, tell me if
insertItem( 0 , "im new" );
also be inserted last ?

Just tested here and insertitem does what expected. As far as I know, having
a Delegate should not change that.

[luke147]

Yes, I tried command:

insertItem( 0, item );

But the item is inserted at the end.

@luke147
Ok that sounds really strange.

Need to test some code to have suggestions. My Delegate is inherited from
QStyledItemDelegate but should makes no difference.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Do you have any sorting active on your QListWidget ?

[luke147]

No, I have no sorting active.
My item is my type. EventListItem class inherits from QListWidgetItem class. The list is QListWidget type.

Now I tried create new QListWidget and to insert item with QListWidgetItem type.
This work fine. Even if I set itemDelegate. It's OK.

Can a item to be my type which inherits from QListWidgetItem class?

[mrjj]

@luke147
I see no reason that you cannot make your own QListWidgetItem and
since your list is not sorted, it should make no difference.
(but seems it does)

On thing you could try is to override
virtual bool operator<(const QListWidgetItem &other) const;

for you class and see if that changes where it gets inserted.

[SGaist]

Can you share your custom class ? There might be something to spot in it.

[luke147]

Sorry. My answers will be delayed this week.

@mrjj
I try override the operator.

[SGaist]

Ok, I see the problem: as recommended in the QListWidgetItem constructor doc, don't give it a parent if you want to insert your item at a given position.

[luke147]

Thanks to both.
@SGaist
I don't give a parent to QListWidgetItem constructor if I use insertItem method.

@mrjj
I overridden operator<.

It works now.
