    @StudentScripter the delegate is always active once you set it. Or did you mean the editor ? If so, then yes, the events will be sent to the delegate.

    @SGaist Yeah i probably mean the editor cause my delegate is visible trough its paint event even if the editor is closed, right?

    Now i click on one position of my delegate (the editor is still closed/or should stay closed) but i still want to change the Qt::CheckStateRole of that indexes delegate.

    Is this understandable? Thanks for your help and time too. Can't say that often enough.

    Also could i just add a setter function in my graphicsscene and set the model from the treeview? As said i have access from the treeview to the model object and the graphicsscene. Like this:

    #include "ViewLayerList.h"
    #include <QHBoxLayout>
    #include <QCheckBox>
    #include <QLabel>
    #include "ViewLayerDropIndicatorStyle.h"
    #include <QMouseEvent>
    #include "resizablepixmapitem.h"
    #include <QHeaderView>
    #include <QPushButton>
    
    #include <QTimer>
    #include <QApplication>
    #include <QDrag>
    #include <QCursor>
    #include <QMimeData>
    
    #include <QApplication>
    #include <QFile>
    #include <QDataStream>
    
    #include <QJsonDocument>
    #include <QJsonObject>
    #include <QJsonArray>
    
    #include <QUndoCommand>
    #include "CommandManager.h"
    
    
    
    
    
    ViewLayerList::ViewLayerList(CustomGraphicsScene *scene, QWidget *parent)
        : QTreeView{parent}, scene_durchgereicht(scene)
    {
    
                    
    
    
    
    
    
     setStyle(new ViewLayerDropIndicatorStyle(style()));
    
    
     // Ändern Sie den Abstand zwischen den Items und der vertikalen Scrollbar
        setViewportMargins(0, 0, 50, 0); // Passen Sie den rechten Rand (20) an Ihre Anforderungen an
        
    //Versteckt die sinnlose Kopfzeile
        setHeaderHidden(true);
        setRootIsDecorated(true);
        setMouseTracking(true);
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    mydelegate = new ViewLayerItemDelegate(this);
    
    
    
    model = new ViewLayerStandartItemModel(0,1,this);
    
    
    scene_durchgereicht->setModel(model); //Dieses exakte model
    }

        @StudentScripter your tree view has no reason to be doing that setup with the scene. They share a model, they don't need to know about each other.

        As for the delegate, your goal is clear, and again, the editorEvent is what you want to use to implement the behavior you want.

          @SGaist Well but as i understand it with

          model = new ViewLayerStandartItemModel(0,1,this);
          

          im creating a new instance of this class, a new object. So in order to have access to the same model i have to pass the object i create in the treeview trough to the scene.
          Is this a mistake? How should i do it instead?

            @StudentScripter you should create the model in the class that manages the ViewLayerList object and set it on both objects there. In the absolute, with the code you show, ViewLayerList is not even needed unless there are some additional function you are implementing. If not, then just use QTreeView directly and configure it in the class managing it.

              @SGaist Yes im implementing additional functions in the qtreeview/ViewLayerList, thats why i subclassed it. Im creating the model object directly in ViewLayerLists constructor, cause i use that model mostly in this cpp.

              So i guess my approach with giving the model from there to the scene is okish?

                @StudentScripter no, it makes that class know another one just for the purpose of sharing the model. That's tight coupling for the bad reasons.

                  @StudentScripter
                  It seems to me you have two possible general approaches:

                  • Use signals & slots to communicate between the tree view and the graphics scene. This can alleviate the need for each side to know too much about the other side. But be careful not to get into an "infinite loop", where each side "ping pongs" signals between themselves for some change.

                  • As @SGaist says, create a common model and share the model between both sides. For example, QStandardItem is part of a QStandardItemModel. You can already have multiple views (e.g. QTreeView) attached to the same model, make it so (some wrapper around) the QGraphicsScene shares that model with your one QTreeView. All your operations, like selecting or clicking a checkbox, should be implemented in the model, not the view or scene. Then that emits signals like dataChanged() or selectionChanged() in response to your actions and both views get notified about it and react in their own ways. The model code can be kept in its own/class/module/file, that is included into both the tree view & graphics scene classes, they should not need to see each other directly. This would be my inclination.

                    @JonB Ok and from their i add an setter in the qtreeview class and the viewlayerlist to retrieve the model.

                      @StudentScripter Yes, a suitable public getter & setter for the model called from each of the QTreeView and QGraphicsScene modules.

                        @StudentScripter QTreeView already has a setter for the model. You just need to add one to your QGraphicsScene subclass.
