Detailed DescriptionThe QStandardItem class provides an item for use with the QStandardItemModel class. Items usually contain text, icons, or checkboxes. Each item can have its own background brush which is set with the setBackground() function. The current background brush can be found with background(). The text label for each item can be rendered with its own font and brush. These are specified with the setFont() and setForeground() functions, and read with font() and foreground(). By default, items are enabled, editable, selectable, checkable, and can be used both as the source of a drag and drop operation and as a drop target. Each item's flags can be changed by calling setFlags(). Checkable items can be checked and unchecked with the setCheckState() function. The corresponding checkState() function indicates whether the item is currently checked. You can store application-specific data in an item by calling setData(). Each item can have a two-dimensional table of child items. This makes it possible to build hierarchies of items. The typical hierarchy is the tree, in which case the child table is a table with a single column (a list). The dimensions of the child table can be set with setRowCount() and setColumnCount(). Items can be positioned in the child table with setChild(). Get a pointer to a child item with child(). New rows and columns of children can also be inserted with insertRow() and insertColumn(), or appended with appendRow() and appendColumn(). When using the append and insert functions, the dimensions of the child table will grow as needed. An existing row of children can be removed with removeRow() or takeRow(); correspondingly, a column can be removed with removeColumn() or takeColumn(). An item's children can be sorted by calling sortChildren(). SubclassingWhen subclassing QStandardItem to provide custom items, it is possible to define new types for them so that they can be distinguished from the base class. The type() function should be reimplemented to return a new type value equal to or greater than UserType. Reimplement data() and setData() if you want to perform custom handling of data queries and/or control how an item's data is represented. Reimplement clone() if you want QStandardItemModel to be able to create instances of your custom item class on demand (see QStandardItemModel::setItemPrototype()). Reimplement read() and write() if you want to control how items are represented in their serialized form. Reimplement operator<() if you want to control the semantics of item comparison. operator<() determines the sorted order when sorting items with sortChildren() or with QStandardItemModel::sort(). See also QStandardItemModel, Item View Convenience Classes, and Model/View Programming. Member Type Documentation
|
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
QStandardItem::Type | 0 | The default type for standard items. |
QStandardItem::UserType | 1000 | The minimum value for custom types. Values below UserType are reserved by Qt. |
You can define new user types in QStandardItem subclasses to ensure that custom items are treated specially; for example, when items are sorted.
See also type().

The accessible description is used by assistive technologies (i.e. for users who cannot use conventional means of interaction).
See also setAccessibleDescription() and accessibleText().
Returns the item's accessible text.
The accessible text is used by assistive technologies (i.e. for users who cannot use conventional means of interaction).
See also setAccessibleText() and accessibleDescription().

You normally only need to call this function if you have subclassed QStandardItem and reimplemented data() and/or setData().
This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.
See also setData().
Returns the item flags for the item.
The item flags determine how the user can interact with the item.

Sets the number of child item columns to columns. If this is less than columnCount(), the data in the unwanted columns is discarded.
See also columnCount() and setRowCount().
Sets the item's data for the given role to the specified value.
If you subclass QStandardItem and reimplement this function, your reimplementation should call emitDataChanged() if you do not call the base implementation of setData(). This will ensure that e.g. views using the model are notified of the changes.
Note: The default implementation treats Qt::EditRole and Qt::DisplayRole as referring to the same data.
See also Qt::ItemDataRole, data(), and setFlags().
Sets whether the item is drag enabled. If dragEnabled is true, the item can be dragged by the user; otherwise, the user cannot drag the item.
Note that you also need to ensure that item dragging is enabled in the view; see QAbstractItemView::dragEnabled.
See also isDragEnabled(), setDropEnabled(), and setFlags().
Sets whether the item is drop enabled. If dropEnabled is true, the item can be used as a drop target; otherwise, it cannot.
Note that you also need to ensure that drops are enabled in the view; see QWidget::acceptDrops(); and that the model supports the desired drop actions; see QAbstractItemModel::supportedDropActions().
See also isDropEnabled(), setDragEnabled(), and setFlags().
Sets whether the item is editable. If editable is true, the item can be edited by the user; otherwise, the user cannot edit the item.
How the user can edit items in a view is determined by the view's edit triggers; see QAbstractItemView::editTriggers.
See also isEditable() and setFlags().
Sets whether the item is enabled. If enabled is true, the item is enabled, meaning that the user can interact with the item; if enabled is false, the user cannot interact with the item.
This flag takes precedence over the other item flags; e.g. if an item is not enabled, it cannot be selected by the user, even if the Qt::ItemIsSelectable flag has been set.
See also isEnabled(), Qt::ItemIsEnabled, and setFlags().
Sets the item flags for the item to flags.
The item flags determine how the user can interact with the item. This is often used to disable an item.
See also flags() and setData().
Sets the font used to display the item's text to the given font.
See also font(), setText(), and setForeground().
Sets the brush used to display the item's foreground (e.g. text) to the given brush.
See also foreground(), setBackground(), and setFont().
Sets the item's icon to the icon specified.
See also icon().
Sets the number of child item rows to rows. If this is less than rowCount(), the data in the unwanted rows is discarded.
See also rowCount() and setColumnCount().
Sets whether the item is selectable. If selectable is true, the item can be selected by the user; otherwise, the user cannot select the item.
You can control the selection behavior and mode by manipulating their view properties; see QAbstractItemView::selectionMode and QAbstractItemView::selectionBehavior.
See also isSelectable() and setFlags().
Sets the size hint for the item to be size. If no size hint is set, the item delegate will compute the size hint based on the item data.
See also sizeHint().
Sets the item's status tip to the string specified by statusTip.
See also statusTip(), setToolTip(), and setWhatsThis().
Sets the item's text to the text specified.
See also text(), setFont(), and setForeground().
Sets the text alignment for the item's text to the alignment specified.
See also textAlignment().
Sets the item's tooltip to the string specified by toolTip.
See also toolTip(), setStatusTip(), and setWhatsThis().
Sets whether the item is tristate. If tristate is true, the item is checkable with three separate states; otherwise, the item is checkable with two states. (Note that this also requires that the item is checkable; see isCheckable().)
See also isTristate(), setCheckable(), and setCheckState().
Sets the item's "What's This?" help to the string specified by whatsThis.
See also whatsThis(), setStatusTip(), and setToolTip().
Returns the size hint set for the item, or an invalid QSize if no size hint has been set.
If no size hint has been set, the item delegate will compute the size hint based on the item data.
See also setSizeHint().
Sorts the children of the item using the given order, by the values in the given column.
Note: This function is recursive, therefore it sorts the children of the item, its grandchildren, etc.
See also operator<().
Returns the item's status tip.
See also setStatusTip(), toolTip(), and whatsThis().
Removes the child item at (row, column) without deleting it, and returns a pointer to the item. If there was no child at the given location, then this function returns 0.
Note that this function, unlike takeRow() and takeColumn(), does not affect the dimensions of the child table.
See also child(), takeRow(), and takeColumn().
Removes column without deleting the column items, and returns a list of pointers to the removed items. For items in the column that have not been set, the corresponding pointers in the list will be 0.
See also removeColumn(), insertColumn(), and takeRow().
Removes row without deleting the row items, and returns a list of pointers to the removed items. For items in the row that have not been set, the corresponding pointers in the list will be 0.
See also removeRow(), insertRow(), and takeColumn().
Returns the item's text. This is the text that's presented to the user in a view.
See also setText().
Returns the text alignment for the item's text.
See also setTextAlignment().
Returns the item's tooltip.
See also setToolTip(), statusTip(), and whatsThis().
Returns the type of this item. The type is used to distinguish custom items from the base class. When subclassing QStandardItem, you should reimplement this function and return a new value greater than or equal to UserType.
See also QStandardItem::Type.
Returns the item's "What's This?" help.
See also setWhatsThis(), toolTip(), and statusTip().
Writes the item to stream out. Only the data and flags of the item are written, not the child items.
See also read().
Returns true if this item is less than other; otherwise returns false.
The default implementation uses the data for the item's sort role (see QStandardItemModel::sortRole) to perform the comparison if the item belongs to a model; otherwise, the data for the item's Qt::DisplayRole (text()) is used to perform the comparison.
sortChildren() and QStandardItemModel::sort() use this function when sorting items. If you want custom sorting, you can subclass QStandardItem and reimplement this function.
Assigns other's data and flags to this item. Note that type() and model() are not copied.
This function is useful when reimplementing clone().
Writes the QStandardItem item to stream out.
This operator uses QStandardItem::write().
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also Serializing Qt Data Types.
Reads a QStandardItem from stream in into item.
This operator uses QStandardItem::read().
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
