QItemDelegate paint() is not called

Hi,

Am trying to subclass an item Delegate (to display images on QTableView cells),
I reimplemented QItemDelegate::paint() and QItemDelegate::sizeHint().
When I tested it, the function paint() is not called at all.
Here is my code

Code:

---

class ItemImageDelegate : public  QItemDelegate
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    ItemImageDelegate(QObject*) ;
 
    void paint(QPainter * painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem & option, const QModelIndex & index) const;
    QSize sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem & option, const QModelIndex & index) const;
};

---

Code:

---

ItemImageDelegate::ItemImageDelegate(QObject *parent = 0) :  QItemDelegate(parent) {}
 
 
void ItemImageDelegate::paint(QPainter * painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem & option, const QModelIndex & index) const
{
    qDebug()<<"Paint called";
}
 
QSize ItemImageDelegate::sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem & option, const QModelIndex & index) const
{
    qDebug()<<"Size Hint called";
}

---

Code:

---

// Main class
   //  setting the model ...
   QTableView* view = new QTableView();
    view->setModel(model);
    ItemImageDelegate delegate(this);
    view->setItemDelegate(&delegate);
    view->resizeColumnsToContents();
 
    view->show();

---

It seems so wierd to me, am for sure missing something, but I can't figure it out
Please help

Happy coding for all !!

You are creating your delegate on the stack so it goes out of scope and is destroyed. Create it on heap instead.

Wysota you're a life saver :)
