Extend QSqlTableModel & Update model data;

SGaist

Also columnCount, otherwise your column won't be shown.

AFAIK, you currently have to do that by hand e.g. using a QHash.

Thanks for your help.
I decide to inherit from QSortFilterProxyModel, extend it to add additional columns and set the sourceModel to QSqlTableModel .

class ExtraColumnProxyModel : public QSortFilterProxyModel
{
  Q_OBJECT
public:
  ExtraColumnProxyModel(QObject* parent = 0);

  Qt::ItemFlags flags(const QModelIndex &index) const;

  QVariant headerData( int section
                     , Qt::Orientation orientation
                     , int role = Qt::DisplayRole
                     ) const;

  QVariant data(const QModelIndex& index, int role = Qt::DisplayRole) const;

  int columnCount(const QModelIndex &parent = QModelIndex()) const;

  QModelIndex index( int row
                   , int column
                   , const QModelIndex& parent = QModelIndex()
                   ) const;

  void appendColumn(QString columnName);

  QHash<int, QByteArray> roleNames() const;

private:
  QHash<int, QByteArray> m_roles;
  QVector<QString> headerDataVector = QVector<QString>();
};

So it's working like you wanted it ?

ginkgoguy

Yes, the model works correctly. Thanks.
If I want to access the data stored in the extraColumns and I the only thing I get is a identifier-string. I have to create a QHash<QString, QModelIndex> (update it on model change) to get the correct index and a QMap<QModelIndex, $Data> to store and access the values. Or is there a cleaner solution?

SGaist

Are you moving rows around ?

ginkgoguy

If not, is there a simpler solution?
I was thinking of filter and sort functionality.

SGaist

You could put that information at the same index using a custom role but it might be slower to get to the right index when searching for it.

Sounds like what I'm looking. Can you please describe in more detail what is to be done for or post a link to a describtion?

Best regards

You can all setData from your model and change the last parameter to a custom value e.g. Qt::UserRole + 1. Define that value in your class so you can easily re-use it.

ginkgoguy

Sorry, I was looking for an example , but found nothing on the internet. Can you explain to me the usage of it by short example ?

SGaist

An example of myModel->setData(myCustomValue, Qt::UserRole + 1); ?
