Using QListView or similar in Qt4

Question

I'm slowly getting used to using the Qt4 GUI. In the project I'm working on, I need to be able to add / edit / delete Team objects in the list. Based on the perspective of C # .NET, I would do something like

 List<Team> teams = new List<Team>(); teamsListBox.DataSource = teams; teamsListBox.DisplayMember = "Name"; 

Then use the buttons on the form to add / remove / edit.

But, from what I can say, in Qt there is no easy way to do this. I looked through the documentation for QListView, QListWidget, QStandardItemModel, etc., but I can't figure out how to get the equivalent Qt code for C #.

My goal is to show Team in some list, and then add / remove / edit Team under it at runtime.

How do you do this?

Answer 1

You should look at QAbstractItemModel and QStandardItemModel or create an individual TeamItemModel class for your teams, which inherits from QAbstractItemModel. This custom class will control how elements are displayed in a widget such as QListView.

A simple QString example with a QStringList :

 QStringList list; list << "item1" << "item2" << "item3" << "item4" << "item5"; ui->listView->setModel(new QStringListModel(list)); 

Then adding / removing / updating a Team should be easier than you tried.

Hope this helps.
