QListWidget doesn't show properly custom QWidget

[Ioseph12]

Hi all,

I'm trying to make some kind of list where I can add an undefined number of custom widgets. After reading a bit in the forum I found this code, but it doesn't seem to work properly as the widget is not displayed. Here is the code:

	FilterWindow* fwn_sn = new FilterWindow("Serial Number", cfg.serialNumber);
	QListWidgetItem * myItem = new QListWidgetItem();
	myItem->setSizeHint(QSize(281, 89));

	ui.LoadConfList->addItem(myItem);
	ui.LoadConfList->setItemWidget(myItem, new FilterWindow("Serial Number", cfg.serialNumber));

The custom widget (FilterWindow) looks like this

And this is how it looks like

Could anyone give me a hint?

Thank you so much

After some headache days I found the problem. The FilterWindow widget had set wrong the parent in children widgets, so, the right way would be :

void FilterWindow::setUi(std::string tittle)
{
	Frame = new QFrame(this); //Here it must be this, to set the widget itself as the parent
	Frame->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("Frame"));
	Frame->setFixedWidth(281);
	Frame->setFixedHeight(89);
	Frame->setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("QFrame\n"
		"{\n"
		"	border-style: solid;\n"
		"	border-width: 0px;\n"
		"	border-radius: 4px;\n"
		"	border-color: transparent;\n"
		"}"));
	Frame->setFrameShape(QFrame::StyledPanel);
	Frame->setFrameShadow(QFrame::Raised);
	Frame->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose);
	checkBox = new QCheckBox(Frame);
	checkBox->setText(tittle.c_str());
	checkBox->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("checkBox"));
	checkBox->setGeometry(QRect(0, 0, 248, 35));
	checkBox->setAutoFillBackground(false);
	checkBox->setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("QCheckBox\n"
		"{\n"
		"	background-color: rgb(128,139,143);\n"
		"	color: white;\n"
		"	border-radius: 4px;\n"
		"	padding-left: 8px;\n"
		"}\n"
		"\n"
		"QCheckBox::indicator:unchecked {\n"
		"    image: url(:/OptiNanoPro/uchk);\n"
		"}\n"
		"\n"
		"\n"
		"QCheckBox::indicator:checked {\n"
		"    image: url(:/OptiNanoPro/chk);\n"
		"}\n"
		""));
	checkBox->setChecked(true);
	ArrowBtn = new QPushButton(Frame);
	ArrowBtn->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("ArrowBtn"));
	ArrowBtn->setGeometry(QRect(246, 0, 36, 35));
	ArrowBtn->setAutoFillBackground(true);
	QIcon icon;
	icon.addFile(QStringLiteral(":/OptiNanoPro/DownArrwLd"), QSize(), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::Off);
	ArrowBtn->setIcon(icon);
	ArrowBtn->setIconSize(QSize(36, 35));
	ArrowBtn->setFlat(true);
	Table = new QTableWidget(Frame);
	Table->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("Table"));
	Table->setGeometry(QRect(0, 35, 281, 31));
	Table->setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("QTableWidget\n"
		"{\n"
		"	background-color: white;\n"
		"	border-radius: 0px;\n"
		"}"
		"\n"
		"QCheckBox\n"
		"{\n"
		"	color: white;\n"
		"	padding-left: 8px;\n"
		"}\n"
		"\n"
		"QCheckBox::indicator:unchecked {\n"
		"    image: url(:/OptiNanoPro/uchk);\n"
		"}\n"
		"\n"
		"QCheckBox::indicator:checked {\n"
		"    image: url(:/OptiNanoPro/chk);\n"
		"}\n"
		""));
	ResetBtn = new QPushButton(Frame);
	ResetBtn->setText("Reset");
	ResetBtn->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("ResetBtn"));
	ResetBtn->setGeometry(QRect(0, 66, 169, 23));
	ResetBtn->setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("QPushButton\n"
		"{\n"
		"	background-color: white;\n"
		"	border-width: 1px;\n"
		"    border-style: solid;\n"
		"    border-color: rgb(86,86,84);\n"
		"	border-radius: 3px;\n"
		"	color: rgb(86,86,84);\n"
		"}"));
	AplyBtn = new QPushButton(Frame);
	AplyBtn->setText("Apply");
	AplyBtn->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("AplyBtn"));
	AplyBtn->setGeometry(QRect(169, 66, 111, 23));
	AplyBtn->setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("QPushButton\n"
		"{\n"
		"	background-color: white;\n"
		"	border-width: 1px;\n"
		"    border-style: solid;\n"
		"    border-color: rgb(86,86,84);\n"
		"	border-radius: 3px;\n"
		"	color: rgb(86,86,84);\n"
		"}"));
}

[VRonin]

will all widgets in the list be of type FilterWindow?

[Ioseph12]

I'll have only FilterWindows and one QCalendarWidget

[VRonin]

Then move the QCalendarWidget outside the QListWidget, subclass QStyledItemDelegate to make it use a FilterWindows and use QListWidget::setItemDelegate to apply it

[Ioseph12]

@VRonin

So the right way to do this would be as there?

filterwindow.h

#ifndef FILTERWINDOW_H
#define FILTERWINDOW_H

#include <QtCore/QVariant>
#include <QtWidgets/QAction>
#include <QtWidgets/QApplication>
#include <QtWidgets/QButtonGroup>
#include <QtWidgets/QCheckBox>
#include <QtWidgets/QFrame>
#include <QtWidgets/QHeaderView>
#include <QtWidgets/QPushButton>
#include <QtWidgets/QTableWidget>
#include <QtWidgets/QWidget>
#include <QtWidgets/qstyleditemdelegate.h>	

class FilterWindow : public QStyledItemDelegate
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    FilterWindow(QWidget*);
	FilterWindow(std::string, std::vector<std::string>);

	void setList(std::vector<std::string>);
.....
}
#endif

main.cpp

	QListWidgetItem * myItem = new QListWidgetItem();
	myItem->setSizeHint(QSize(281, 89));
	FilterWindow* fwn_sn = new FilterWindow( "Serial Number", cfg.serialNumber);
	
	ui.LoadConfTable->setItemDelegate(fwn_sn);
	ui.LoadConfTable->addItem(myItem);	

I can't display the Widget properly yet

[VRonin]

That's not how it works: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstyleditemdelegate.html#subclassing-qstyleditemdelegate

[Ioseph12]

@VRonin

Right, I will try it. Thank's a lot!

Hi VRonin,

First of all, thanks for your help. The document you linked has been very usefull. I have been trying to subclass the Qstyle delegate as it states there, but I'm still having some problems to display the custom widget. I think that the problem is on how I reimplemented the paint function, because, to be honest, It was some kind of empirical try (my bad). So here is the code:

FilterWindow.h (custom class and delegate inside)

#define FILTERWINDOW_H

#include <QtWidgets/QCheckBox>
#include <QtWidgets/QFrame>
#include <QtWidgets/QHeaderView>

QListWidgetItem * myItem = new QListWidgetItem();
wndw = new FilterWindow(ui.LoadFrame, "Serial Number", cfg.serialNumber); //Create a FilterWindow
myItem->setSizeHint(QSize(281, 89));
myItem->setData(0, QVariant::fromValue(*wndw)); //The tutorial settled that it should be casted to QVariant to save it in an item
ui.LoadConfTable->addItem(myItem); //And just after this it should be painted?

This is how it looks like:

Not quite there yet, the widget is not the data. The data should be what's in the widget.

take a look at AQP page 193. They use a QLabel as a delegate but its basically the same in your case (just as disclaimer: I don't like that example as it's inefficient, you should paint directly the delegate, not use a separate QWidget but it works and it's a good enough start)

Good morning,

Thank you so much for your advice.

And that's is how I call it:

fltr = new FilterWindowDelegate(ui.LoadConfTable);
	ui.LoadConfTable->setItemDelegate(fltr);
	ui.LoadConfTable->setRowCount(0);
	ui.LoadConfTable->setColumnCount(1);
	ui.LoadConfTable->verticalHeader()->setHidden(true);
	ui.LoadConfTable->horizontalHeader()->setHidden(true);
	ui.LoadConfTable->setColumnWidth(0, 282);
	ui.LoadConfTable->setShowGrid(false);
	ui.LoadConfTable->setRowHeight(0, 36);

	fltr->insertElement("HOLA");
	fltr->insertElement("ADIOS");

So with all this code, this is how i get it

By some reason, it selects the last item and starts an editor placed in a wrong position. (I'm aware that is not an optimal code)

Once more, thanks for your help. This book has been a good resource to improve my skills,

I would have many comments on the implementation but for now let's leave them in the drawer.

return new FilterWindow(*FrmWindows.at(idx.row())); should become return FrmWindows.at(idx.row());.
Don't return a copy (that you can't do anyway) but the widget itself

@VRonin

It's still having the same bug. The upper windget is the editor of the second element in the table, which it appears by default even whitout selecting that element and appears at this place (The right place would be the second row of the table and whitout that skew if it would have been called)

Image uploads in this forum are broken at the moment (update should come out in the near future) so it's difficult to understand. could you upload on postimg?

I solved this. It seems as if the TableWidget is not cleared before starting to add items it keeps some residual widgets (weird behaviour) . Now I'm getting what I think that is the last error with this issue. When I click in a table row to edit one of the widgets, it happens this:

                                                                                               1st - Editor called
  
                                                                                               2nd - Someone calls the widget destructor throwed as editor (internal signal)

                                                                                               3rd - Tries to paint it (Obviously it crashes)

After some headache days I found the problem. The FilterWindow widget had set wrong the parent in children widgets, so, the right way would be :

void FilterWindow::setUi(std::string tittle)
{
	Frame = new QFrame(this); //Here it must be this, to set the widget itself as the parent
	Frame->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("Frame"));
	Frame->setFixedWidth(281);
	Frame->setFixedHeight(89);
	Frame->setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("QFrame\n"
		"{\n"
		"	border-style: solid;\n"
		"	border-width: 0px;\n"
		"	border-radius: 4px;\n"
		"	border-color: transparent;\n"
		"}"));
	Frame->setFrameShape(QFrame::StyledPanel);
	Frame->setFrameShadow(QFrame::Raised);
	Frame->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose);
	checkBox = new QCheckBox(Frame);
	checkBox->setText(tittle.c_str());
	checkBox->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("checkBox"));
	checkBox->setGeometry(QRect(0, 0, 248, 35));
	checkBox->setAutoFillBackground(false);
	checkBox->setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("QCheckBox\n"
		"{\n"
		"	background-color: rgb(128,139,143);\n"

	checkBox->setChecked(true);
	ArrowBtn = new QPushButton(Frame);
	ArrowBtn->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("ArrowBtn"));
	ArrowBtn->setGeometry(QRect(246, 0, 36, 35));
	ArrowBtn->setAutoFillBackground(true);
	QIcon icon;
	icon.addFile(QStringLiteral(":/OptiNanoPro/DownArrwLd"), QSize(), QIcon::Normal, QIcon::Off);
	ArrowBtn->setIcon(icon);
	ArrowBtn->setIconSize(QSize(36, 35));
	ArrowBtn->setFlat(true);
	Table = new QTableWidget(Frame);
	Table->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("Table"));
	Table->setGeometry(QRect(0, 35, 281, 31));
	Table->setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("QTableWidget\n"

		"}\n"
		"\n"
		"QCheckBox::indicator:checked {\n"
		"    image: url(:/OptiNanoPro/chk);\n"
		"}\n"
		""));
	ResetBtn = new QPushButton(Frame);
	ResetBtn->setText("Reset");
	ResetBtn->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("ResetBtn"));
	ResetBtn->setGeometry(QRect(0, 66, 169, 23));
	ResetBtn->setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("QPushButton\n"
		"{\n"

	AplyBtn = new QPushButton(Frame);
	AplyBtn->setText("Apply");
	AplyBtn->setObjectName(QStringLiteral("AplyBtn"));
	AplyBtn->setGeometry(QRect(169, 66, 111, 23));
	AplyBtn->setStyleSheet(QLatin1String("QPushButton\n"
		"{\n"

}
