QStandardItemModel & QStandardItem instance 10+ items between 2 models?
-
Hey
I'm tinkering with idea of instancing data between 2 standardItemModels. Say Model A has 20 nodes, and modelB has 10 nodes. I would like to share the nodes from modelA to modelB, let them be "their own little hierarchy" but if I change their order in modelA I'd like to see the same action happen in modelB... humh I guess I would not be able to parent them anywhere in modelB to native modelB nodes, because that would break everything. But I do wonder... has any1 tried this before?

Not possbile. Model takes the ownership of items when set. So two model cannot own the same item. It will be a big trouble. You can use QSortFilterProxyModel if your interest is share the subset of data to another model.

@dheerendra thanks! I had a feeling that was the case, but QSortFilterProxyModel is a very interesting discovery! I used it a few times but humh... I will look into that more! Thanks! If you have any suggestions/tutorials/read please shoot away, bit lost atm as to what to look for there.
@Eeli-K Yep, I subclass QAbstractItemModel & created my own treeItem from the ground up so I have full control over these 2 entities. I Extended QtreeView with some "helper" handlers of my data/model but that's it. Did not touch QModelIndex to me its black magic ;- ) Will think about solving that internally somehow. If I were to redirect the read of some widgets, what would I need to extend more? index/data/row functions? Hmm I need to think about it more. Getting some lightbulbs slowly here but I wonder if it's backward. Atm, I'm thinking that each of the virtual functions I had to overload would have to return native model data 1st and once that's done, return the instanced model/items data... uhhh getting complicated humhhhh humhhh humhhhh interesting. Thanks!
