Detailed Description

The QAbstractItemView class provides the basic functionality for item view classes.

\inmodule QtWidgets

QAbstractItemView class is the base class for every standard view that uses a QAbstractItemModel. QAbstractItemView is an abstract class and cannot itself be instantiated. It provides a standard interface for interoperating with models through the signals and slots mechanism, enabling subclasses to be kept up-to-date with changes to their models. This class provides standard support for keyboard and mouse navigation, viewport scrolling, item editing, and selections. The keyboard navigation implements this functionality:

\table \header

  • Keys
  • Functionality \row
  • Arrow keys
  • Changes the current item and selects it. \row
  • Ctrl+Arrow keys
  • Changes the current item but does not select it. \row
  • Shift+Arrow keys
  • Changes the current item and selects it. The previously selected item(s) is not deselected. \row
  • Ctrl+Space
  • Toggles selection of the current item. \row
  • Tab/Backtab
  • Changes the current item to the next/previous item. \row
  • Home/End
  • Selects the first/last item in the model. \row
  • Page up/Page down
  • Scrolls the rows shown up/down by the number of visible rows in the view. \row
  • Ctrl+A
  • Selects all items in the model. \endtable

Note that the above table assumes that the \l{selectionMode}{selection mode} allows the operations. For instance, you cannot select items if the selection mode is QAbstractItemView::NoSelection.

The QAbstractItemView class is one of the \l{Model/View Classes} and is part of Qt's \l{Model/View Programming}{model/view framework}.

The view classes that inherit QAbstractItemView only need to implement their own view-specific functionality, such as drawing items, returning the geometry of items, finding items, etc.

QAbstractItemView provides common slots such as edit() and setCurrentIndex(). Many protected slots are also provided, including dataChanged(), rowsInserted(), rowsAboutToBeRemoved(), selectionChanged(), and currentChanged().

The root item is returned by rootIndex(), and the current item by currentIndex(). To make sure that an item is visible use scrollTo().

Some of QAbstractItemView's functions are concerned with scrolling, for example setHorizontalScrollMode() and setVerticalScrollMode(). To set the range of the scroll bars, you can, for example, reimplement the view's resizeEvent() function:

void MyView::resizeEvent(QResizeEvent *event) {
horizontalScrollBar()->setRange(0, realWidth - width());
...
}

Note that the range is not updated until the widget is shown.

Several other functions are concerned with selection control; for example setSelectionMode(), and setSelectionBehavior(). This class provides a default selection model to work with (selectionModel()), but this can be replaced by using setSelectionModel() with an instance of QItemSelectionModel.

For complete control over the display and editing of items you can specify a delegate with setItemDelegate().

QAbstractItemView provides a lot of protected functions. Some are concerned with editing, for example, edit(), and commitData(), whilst others are keyboard and mouse event handlers.

Note
If you inherit QAbstractItemView and intend to update the contents of the viewport, you should use viewport->update() instead of \l{QWidget::update()}{update()} as all painting operations take place on the viewport.

Definition at line 69 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ ScrollMode

Describes how the scrollbar should behave.

When setting the scroll mode to ScrollPerPixel the single step size will adjust automatically unless it was set explicitly using \l{QAbstractSlider::}{setSingleStep()}. The automatic adjustment can be restored by setting the single step size to -1.

\value ScrollPerItem The view will scroll the contents one item at a time. \value ScrollPerPixel The view will scroll the contents one pixel at a time.

Enumerator
ScrollPerItem 
ScrollPerPixel 

Definition at line 90 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ SelectionBehavior

\value SelectItems Selecting single items.

\value SelectRows Selecting only rows. \value SelectColumns Selecting only columns.

Enumerator
SelectItems 
SelectRows 
SelectColumns 

Definition at line 62 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ SelectionMode

This enum indicates how the view responds to user selections:

\value SingleSelection When the user selects an item, any already-selected item becomes unselected. It is possible for the user to deselect the selected item by pressing the Ctrl key when clicking the selected item.

\value ContiguousSelection When the user selects an item in the usual way, the selection is cleared and the new item selected. However, if the user presses the Shift key while clicking on an item, all items between the current item and the clicked item are selected or unselected, depending on the state of the clicked item.

\value ExtendedSelection When the user selects an item in the usual way, the selection is cleared and the new item selected. However, if the user presses the Ctrl key when clicking on an item, the clicked item gets toggled and all other items are left untouched. If the user presses the Shift key while clicking on an item, all items between the current item and the clicked item are selected or unselected, depending on the state of the clicked item. Multiple items can be selected by dragging the mouse over them.

\value MultiSelection When the user selects an item in the usual way, the selection status of that item is toggled and the other items are left alone. Multiple items can be toggled by dragging the mouse over them.

\value NoSelection Items cannot be selected.

The most commonly used modes are SingleSelection and ExtendedSelection.

The hint is used to specify how the view should respond to the end of the editing operation. For example, the hint may indicate that the next item in the view should be opened for editing.

See also
edit(), commitData()

Definition at line 2919 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ closePersistentEditor()

void QAbstractItemView::closePersistentEditor ( const QModelIndex & index)

Closes the persistent editor for the item at the given index.

See also
openPersistentEditor(), isPersistentEditorOpen()

Definition at line 3269 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ commitData

void QAbstractItemView::commitData ( QWidget * editor)
protectedvirtualslot

Commit the data in the editor to the model.

See also
closeEditor()

Definition at line 3012 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ currentChanged

void QAbstractItemView::currentChanged ( const QModelIndex & current,
const QModelIndex & previous )
protectedvirtualslot

This slot is called when a new item becomes the current item.

The previous current item is specified by the previous index, and the new item by the current index.

If you want to know about changes to items see the dataChanged() signal.

Reimplemented in QColumnView, QFontListView, QFontListView, QHeaderView, QListView, QTableView, and QTreeView.

Definition at line 3817 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ currentIndex()

QModelIndex QAbstractItemView::currentIndex ( ) const

Returns the model index of the current item.

See also
setCurrentIndex()

Definition at line 1105 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ dataChanged

void QAbstractItemView::dataChanged ( const QModelIndex & topLeft,
const QModelIndex & bottomRight,
const QList< int > & roles = QList<int>() )
protectedvirtualslot

This slot is called when items with the given roles are changed in the model.

The changed items are those from topLeft to bottomRight inclusive. If just one item is changed topLeft == bottomRight.

The roles which have been changed can either be an empty container (meaning everything has changed), or a non-empty container with the subset of roles which have changed.

Note
: Qt::ToolTipRole is not honored by dataChanged() in the views provided by Qt.

Reimplemented in QHeaderView, QListView, and QTreeView.

Definition at line 3411 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ dirtyRegionOffset()

QPoint QAbstractItemView::dirtyRegionOffset ( ) const
protected

Returns the offset of the dirty regions in the view.

If you use scrollDirtyRegion() and implement a paintEvent() in a subclass of QAbstractItemView, you should translate the area given by the paint event with the offset returned from this function.

See also
scrollDirtyRegion(), setDirtyRegion()

Definition at line 4030 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ doAutoScroll()

void QAbstractItemView::doAutoScroll ( )
protected

Definition at line 4055 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ doItemsLayout

void QAbstractItemView::doItemsLayout ( )
virtualslot

This function is intended to lay out the items in the view. The default implementation just calls updateGeometries() and updates the viewport.

Reimplemented in QHeaderView, QListView, QTableView, and QTreeView.

Definition at line 1250 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ doubleClicked

void QAbstractItemView::doubleClicked ( const QModelIndex & index)
signal

This signal is emitted when a mouse button is double-clicked.

The item the mouse was double-clicked on is specified by index. The signal is only emitted when the index is valid.

See also
clicked(), activated()

◆ edit [1/2]

void QAbstractItemView::edit ( const QModelIndex & index)
slot

Starts editing the item corresponding to the given index if it is editable.

Note that this function does not change the current index. Since the current index defines the next and previous items to edit, users may find that keyboard navigation does not work as expected. To provide consistent navigation behavior, call setCurrentIndex() before this function with the same model index.

See also
QModelIndex::flags()

Definition at line 1223 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ edit() [2/2]

bool QAbstractItemView::edit ( const QModelIndex & index,
EditTrigger trigger,
QEvent * event )
protectedvirtual

Starts editing the item at index, creating an editor if necessary, and returns true if the view's \l{State} is now EditingState; otherwise returns false.

The action that caused the editing process is described by trigger, and the associated event is specified by event.

Editing can be forced by specifying the trigger to be QAbstractItemView::AllEditTriggers.

See also
closeEditor()

Definition at line 2737 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ editorDestroyed

void QAbstractItemView::editorDestroyed ( QObject * editor)
protectedvirtualslot

This function is called when the given editor has been destroyed.

See also
closeEditor()

Definition at line 3035 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ setIndexWidget()

void QAbstractItemView::setIndexWidget ( const QModelIndex & index,
QWidget * widget )

Sets the given widget on the item at the given index, passing the ownership of the widget to the viewport.

If index is invalid (e.g., if you pass the root index), this function will do nothing.

The given widget's \l{QWidget}{autoFillBackground} property must be set to true, otherwise the widget's background will be transparent, showing both the model data and the item at the given index.

Note
The view takes ownership of the widget. This means if index widget A is replaced with index widget B, index widget A will be deleted. For example, in the code snippet below, the QLineEdit object will be deleted.
...
setIndexWidget(index, new QTextEdit);

This function should only be used to display static content within the visible area corresponding to an item of data. If you want to display custom dynamic content or implement a custom editor widget, subclass QStyledItemDelegate instead.

{Delegate Classes}

Definition at line 3319 of file qabstractitemview.cpp.

◆ setItemDelegate()

void QAbstractItemView::setItemDelegate ( QAbstractItemDelegate * delegate)

Sets the item delegate for this view and its model to delegate.

This is useful if you want complete control over the editing and display of items.

Any existing delegate will be removed, but not deleted. QAbstractItemView does not take ownership of delegate.

Warning
You should not share the same instance of a delegate between views. Doing so can cause incorrect or unintuitive editing behavior since each view connected to a given delegate may receive the \l{QAbstractItemDelegate::}{closeEditor()} signal, and attempt to access, modify or close an editor that has already been closed.
See also
itemDelegate()

◆ setItemDelegateForColumn()

void QAbstractItemView::setItemDelegateForColumn ( int column,
QAbstractItemDelegate * delegate )

Sets the given item delegate used by this view and model for the given column.

All items on column will be drawn and managed by delegate instead of using the default delegate (i.e., itemDelegate()).

Any existing column delegate for column will be removed, but not deleted. QAbstractItemView does not take ownership of delegate.

Note
If a delegate has been assigned to both a row and a column, the row delegate will take precedence and manage the intersecting cell index.
Warning
You should not share the same instance of a delegate between views. Doing so can cause incorrect or unintuitive editing behavior since each view connected to a given delegate may receive the \l{QAbstractItemDelegate::}{closeEditor()} signal, and attempt to access, modify or close an editor that has already been closed.

◆ setItemDelegateForRow()

void QAbstractItemView::setItemDelegateForRow ( int row,
QAbstractItemDelegate * delegate )

Sets the given item delegate used by this view and model for the given row.

All items on row will be drawn and managed by delegate instead of using the default delegate (i.e., itemDelegate()).

Any existing row delegate for row will be removed, but not deleted. QAbstractItemView does not take ownership of delegate.

Note
If a delegate has been assigned to both a row and a column, the row delegate (i.e., this delegate) will take precedence and manage the intersecting cell index.
Warning
You should not share the same instance of a delegate between views. Doing so can cause incorrect or unintuitive editing behavior since each view connected to a given delegate may receive the \l{QAbstractItemDelegate::}{closeEditor()} signal, and attempt to access, modify or close an editor that has already been closed.

◆ setModel()

void QAbstractItemView::setModel ( QAbstractItemModel * model)
virtual

Sets the model for the view to present.

This function will create and set a new selection model, replacing any model that was previously set with setSelectionModel(). However, the old selection model will not be deleted as it may be shared between several views. We recommend that you delete the old selection model if it is no longer required. This is done with the following code:

QItemSelectionModel *m = view->selectionModel();
view->setModel(new model);
delete m;
The QResizeEvent class contains event parameters for resize events.
Definition qevent.h:549
const GLfloat * m
[1]
setIndexWidget(index, new QLineEdit)
[0]

If both the old model and the old selection model do not have parents, or if their parents are long-lived objects, it may be preferable to call their deleteLater() functions to explicitly delete them.

The view {does not} take ownership of the model unless it is the model's parent object because the model may be shared between many different views.

virtual

Sets the current selection model to the given selectionModel.

Note that, if you call setModel() after this function, the given selectionModel will be replaced by one created by the view.

Note
It is up to the application to delete the old selection model if it is no longer needed; i.e., if it is not being used by other views. This will happen automatically when its parent object is deleted. However, if it does not have a parent, or if the parent is a long-lived object, it may be preferable to call its deleteLater() function to explicitly delete it.

Property Documentation

◆ alternatingRowColors

bool QAbstractItemView::alternatingRowColors
readwrite

whether to draw the background using alternating colors

If this property is true, the item background will be drawn using QPalette::Base and QPalette::AlternateBase; otherwise the background will be drawn using the QPalette::Base color.

By default, this property is false.

Definition at line 39 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ autoScroll

bool QAbstractItemView::autoScroll
readwrite

whether autoscrolling in drag move events is enabled

If this property is set to true (the default), the QAbstractItemView automatically scrolls the contents of the view if the user drags within 16 pixels of the viewport edge. If the current item changes, then the view will scroll automatically to ensure that the current item is fully visible.

This property only works if the viewport accepts drops. Autoscroll is switched off by setting this property to false.

Definition at line 28 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ autoScrollMargin

int QAbstractItemView::autoScrollMargin
readwrite

the size of the area when auto scrolling is triggered

This property controls the size of the area at the edge of the viewport that triggers autoscrolling. The default value is 16 pixels.

Definition at line 29 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ editTriggers

EditTriggers QAbstractItemView::editTriggers
readwrite

which actions will initiate item editing

This property is a selection of flags defined by \l{EditTrigger}, combined using the OR operator. The view will only initiate the editing of an item if the action performed is set in this property.

Definition at line 30 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ horizontalScrollMode

ScrollMode QAbstractItemView::horizontalScrollMode
readwrite

how the view scrolls its contents in the horizontal direction

This property controls how the view scroll its contents horizontally. Scrolling can be done either per pixel or per item. Its default value comes from the style via the QStyle::SH_ItemView_ScrollMode style hint.

Definition at line 47 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ iconSize

QSize QAbstractItemView::iconSize
readwrite

the size of items' icons

Setting this property when the view is visible will cause the items to be laid out again.

Definition at line 43 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ selectionBehavior

SelectionBehavior QAbstractItemView::selectionBehavior
readwrite

which selection behavior the view uses

This property holds whether selections are done in terms of single items, rows or columns.

See also
SelectionMode, SelectionBehavior

Definition at line 41 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ selectionMode

SelectionMode QAbstractItemView::selectionMode
readwrite

which selection mode the view operates in

This property controls whether the user can select one or many items and, in many-item selections, whether the selection must be a continuous range of items.

See also
SelectionMode, SelectionBehavior

Definition at line 40 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ tabKeyNavigation

bool QAbstractItemView::tabKeyNavigation
readwrite

whether item navigation with tab and backtab is enabled.

Definition at line 31 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ textElideMode

Qt::TextElideMode QAbstractItemView::textElideMode
readwrite

the position of the "..." in elided text.

The default value for all item views is Qt::ElideRight.

Definition at line 44 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ updateThreshold

uint32_t QAbstractItemView::updateThreshold
readwrite
Since
6.9 This property holds the amount of changed indexes to directly trigger a full update of the view inside dataChanged().

The algorithm inside dataChanged() tries to minimize a full update of the view by calculating if the changed indexes are visible or not. For very large models, with a lot of large changes, this might take longer than the actual update so it's counter-productive. This property gives the ability to control the algorithm to skip the check and directly trigger a full update when the amount of changed indexes exceeds the given value.

The default value is 200.

dataChanged()

Definition at line 49 of file qabstractitemview.h.

◆ verticalScrollMode

ScrollMode QAbstractItemView::verticalScrollMode
readwrite

how the view scrolls its contents in the vertical direction

This property controls how the view scroll its contents vertically. Scrolling can be done either per pixel or per item. Its default value comes from the style via the QStyle::SH_ItemView_ScrollMode style hint.
