Status Bar - StatusTipRole

Hi,

I tried to use the StatusBar feature in my Model/View application by selecting the right role in my data() method:

if (role == Qt::StatusTipRole)
return QVariant("Hello World");

but nothing happens :-/ Do I have to activate the status bar in my main window ? Or what is my mistake ?

Thanks for your help,
Alex

I am sorry, I didnt get what you want to achieve.

If you want to display message in the status bar,
u can use - statusBar()->showMessage() method in the QMainWindow class of ur application.

No this is not, what I want to have.

Qt's Model/View architecture has a data() method, which provides information from the model to the view.
The data() method has different "roles" which provide different types of data to the view.

Code:

---

QVariant SchulungsplanModel::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const
{
	if (!index.isValid())
	{
		qDebug("DEBUG: index is not valid:");
		return QVariant();
	}
 
	if 	(role == Qt::DisplayRole)
		return displayRole(index);
	else if
      	(role == Qt::DecorationRole)
	   		return decorationRole(index);
	else if
   		(role == Qt::BackgroundRole)
         	return backgroundRole(index);
	else if
   		(role == Qt::ToolTipRole)
         	return toolTipRole(index);
	else if
		(role == Qt::StatusTipRole)
			return QVariant("status");
 
QVariant SchulungsplanModel::displayRole(const QModelIndex &index) const
{
	/*  if(index.row() == 0 && index.column() == 0 || index.row() == 0 && index.column() == 1)
		return QVariant(" hello world");*/
 
	return QVariant();
}
 
 
QVariant SchulungsplanModel::decorationRole(const QModelIndex &index) const
{
	//  return QVariant(QIcon("arrowOpen.png"));
	return QVariant();
}

---

so the role:
(role == Qt::StatusTipRole)
return QVariant("status");
should return a String to the view, which will be presented automatically in the status bar. As far as I understand, I need not to implement some code for the representation of the status bar, it is done by the MV architecture. Am I right ? The problem is, the statusbar role seem not to work.

nobody who can help ?

Which exact version of Qt are you using? Try:

Code:

---

view->viewport()->setMouseTracking(true);
