Highlight text in list box

Hi....

I want to Hightlight the text in the list box when i receive a particular message.
i want to scroll the list box without using the up/ down arrow or without clicking on the list box . this is to be done when i get a message.

when i get a message which says Next , then i need to scroll up.

how do i do this??

how do i make a default selection in the List Box???

plz help, i need this urgent....

QListBox::setCurrentItem ()

I am using QListView . will setCurrentItem() work for it?

Since you wrote 'list box' I thought you meant Qt3.
Since QListView doesn't have setCurrentItem() it wont work.
In Qt4 the model-view approach is used much more then in Qt3.
I didn't have a chance to wrok with it yet under Qt4 - but from what I have read so far, i think you should use the selction model.
QItemSelectionModel::select ()
And this might be helpful as well: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.2/model-view-selection.html

I did that the following way:

QListViewItem *current = listview->currentItem();

QListViewItem *after = current->itemAbove(); OR itemBelow()
after->setSelected(TRUE);

this way it is working.....i am able to highlight the next item in the list whenever i get a particular signal.

I guess my question fits this thread, but solution given in last post I think isn't apropriate for Qt4.
So, what exactly I want to do. I have a widget with QListView, QDirModel and QSelectionModel and actually I want the widget to remember activated directory, so when I come back cursor/highlighting will be on that directory.
Example:
we have following items in current dir:
. .. pics walls sample.png pict.jpg
What is default: Key_Down x 3 /*go to pics*/, Key_Return, ... , <go to "..">, enter, Key_Down x 4 /*go to walls*/, enter.
What I want: Key_Down x 3 /*go to pics*/, enter, ..., <go to "..">, enter, Key_Down x 1 /*go to walls*/, enter.

setCurrentIndex() doesn't work, it sets but doesn't highlight that. And you can then press Key_{Return,Enter} (btw are they equal? I know that they have different values, but anyway...) and activate it, but if you press Key_Down you will be at "."

How to solve the problem? I don't need the full code for this =) but just wanna know how to set position of List View cursor.

How to get rid of "." item, but keep ".."? I know about QDir::NoDotAndDotDot, but what about QDir::NoDot ?

Ok, found this in QListWidget::setItemSelected(const QListWidgetItem *item, bool select)

Code:

---

if (d->selectionMode == SingleSelection) {
        selectionModel()->select(index, select 
                                 ? QItemSelectionModel::ClearAndSelect
                                 : QItemSelectionModel::Deselect);
}

---

But when I come into /home/eruart/imgs code:

Code:

---

selmodel->select(dirmodel->index("/home/eruart/imgs/example.png"), QItemSelectionModel::ClearAndSelect);

---

gives me following in console:
intersectingStaticSet: row 11 was invalid
intersectingStaticSet: row 12 was invalid

What does it mean?
update 2

Code:

---

static QModelIndex last;
if (!dirmodel->fileName(current).contains("..")) last = current;
qDebug() << last;
listview->selectionModel()->select(last,QItemSelectionModel::ClearAndSelect);

---

current here is const QModelIndex & that passed by listview's activated signal, and this code is handleActivated slot that connected with the signal.

Code:

---

QModelIndex(4,0,0x80984a8,QDirModel(0x8082aa8) )  
intersectingStaticSet: row 11 was invalid
intersectingStaticSet: row 12 was invalid
 
~/imgs $ ls -a | wc
     11      12     135

---

Why rows 11 and 12, but not 4?

And now I am completely confused. I have removed all selecting code and those messages with intersectingStaticSet continue to appear.

updated
Hm, I recompiled with Qt4.3beta (was 4.2.3) and those messages disappeared.

But selecting still doesn't work.

I'll answer by myself, in case if someone will need it. It's far from ideal, but works for me.

Code:

---

unsigned int lastrow;
 
kivBrowser::kivBrowser()
{
...
   QStringList nameFilters;
   nameFilters << "??*" << ".." ;// FIX ME: one char length names doesn't match
   dirmodel->setNameFilters(nameFilters);
...
}
void kivBrowser::handleActivated(const QModelIndex & current)
{
   if (dirmodel->isDir(current))
   {
      listview->setRootIndex(current);  
 
      listview->setCurrentIndex(listview->rootIndex().child(0,0));
      if (!current.row()) // FIX ME: if we cd up but never was there we would select wrong item or fail to select at all.
      {
         QModelIndex last = listview->rootIndex().child(lastrow,0);
         listview->setCurrentIndex(last);
      }
      else lastrow = current.row();
 
      emit dirChanged(dirmodel->filePath(current));
   }
   else
      emit imgChanged(dirmodel->filePath(current));
}
