Detailed Description
The QTreeWidgetItem class provides an item for use with the QTreeWidget convenience class.
Tree widget items are used to hold rows of information for tree widgets. Rows usually contain several columns of data, each of which can contain a text label and an icon.
The QTreeWidgetItem class is a convenience class that replaces the QListViewItem class in Qt 3. It provides an item for use with the QTreeWidget class.
Items are usually constructed with a parent that is either a QTreeWidget (for top-level items) or a QTreeWidgetItem (for items on lower levels of the tree). For example, the following code constructs a top-level item to represent cities of the world, and adds a entry for Oslo as a child item:
QTreeWidgetItem *cities = new QTreeWidgetItem(treeWidget);
cities->setText(0, tr("Cities"));
QTreeWidgetItem *osloItem = new QTreeWidgetItem(cities);
osloItem->setText(0, tr("Oslo"));
osloItem->setText(1, tr("Yes"));
Items can be added in a particular order by specifying the item they follow when they are constructed:
QTreeWidgetItem *planets = new QTreeWidgetItem(treeWidget, cities);
planets->setText(0, tr("Planets"));
Each column in an item can have its own background color which is set with the setBackgroundColor() function. The current background color can be found with backgroundColor(). The text label for each column can be rendered with its own font and text color. These are specified with the setFont() and setTextColor() functions, and read with font() and textColor().
The main difference between top-level items and those in lower levels of the tree is that a top-level item has no parent(). This information can be used to tell the difference between items, and is useful to know when inserting and removing items from the tree. Children of an item can be removed with takeChild() and inserted at a given index in the list of children with the insertChild() function.
