QtListView::connect

[John-P]

Hi
I'm trying using QListView to filebrowsing.

QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;
list = new QListView(centralwidget); //QListView *list;
list->setGeometry(QRect(250 , 250 , 250 , 250));
list->setModel(model);
list->setRootIndex(model->index(QDir::homePath()));
QListView::connect(list , SIGNAL(pressed(QModelIndex)) , list , SLOT(setRootIndex(QModelIndex)));

QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;
list = new QListView(centralwidget); //QListView *list;
list->setGeometry(QRect(250 , 250 , 250 , 250));
list->setModel(model);
list->setRootIndex(model->index(QDir::homePath()));
QListView::connect(list , SIGNAL(pressed(QModelIndex)) , list , SLOT(setRootIndex(QModelIndex)));

I'm trying to make a function to turn back previous directory.
Does anyone have a hint or solution ?

I'm trying to make a function to turn back previous directory.

your code is populating the list with the lower lever of anything you click on the list. (or, makes the clicked item as root)

Where is a code that should do the "back" functionality?

I found this code on my machine:

// In constructor...
    root = dirModel->index(QDir::currentPath());
    listView->setRootIndex(root);
 
// later...
void MainWindow::up_button_clicked()
{
    root = root.parent();
    listView->setRootIndex(root);
}
 
void MainWindow::listview_double_clicked(QModelIndex index)
{
    if (static_cast<const QDirModel *>(index.model())->isDir(index))
    {
        root = index;
        listView->setRootIndex(root);
    }
    else
    {
        // do something with clicked file.

// In constructor...
    root = dirModel->index(QDir::currentPath());
    listView->setRootIndex(root);

// later...
void MainWindow::up_button_clicked()
{
    root = root.parent();
    listView->setRootIndex(root);
}

void MainWindow::listview_double_clicked(QModelIndex index)
{
    if (static_cast<const QDirModel *>(index.model())->isDir(index))
    {
        root = index;
        listView->setRootIndex(root);
    }
    else
    {
        // do something with clicked file.

Hi

try this

bool QDir::cdUp ()

bool QDir::cdUp ()

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Thanks for reply to this thread.

I tried following code

QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;list = new QListView(centralwidget); //QListView *list;
list->setGeometry(QRect(250 , 250 , 250 , 250));
list->setModel(model);
list->setRootIndex(model->index(QDir::homePath()));
QListView::connect(list , SIGNAL(pressed(QModelIndex)) , list , SLOT(setRootIndex(QModelIndex)));
QListView::connect(list , SIGNAL(entered(QmodelIndex)) , list , SLOT(setRootIndex(QDir::cdUp())));

QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;list = new QListView(centralwidget); //QListView *list;
list->setGeometry(QRect(250 , 250 , 250 , 250));
list->setModel(model);
list->setRootIndex(model->index(QDir::homePath()));
QListView::connect(list , SIGNAL(pressed(QModelIndex)) , list , SLOT(setRootIndex(QModelIndex)));
QListView::connect(list , SIGNAL(entered(QmodelIndex)) , list , SLOT(setRootIndex(QDir::cdUp())));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and i received following application output message

Object::connect: No such slot QListView::setRootIndex(QDir::cdUp()) in window.h:86

I thought that I must change QlistView:: to another one.
Does this understanding is right??

thanks regard

Look, your problem is that you don't understand C++, and basics of the signal slot machanism and syntax.
When you give a slot in the connect() function, you have to specify the types the slot is taking, you however are CALLING the QDir::cdUp() method.
In addition, cdUp() returns a bool, and your slot expects a QModeIndex.

I write following slot

void MainWindow::up_button(QModelIndex *index  ,  QListView *view) {
       view->setRootIndex(index->parent());
}

void MainWindow::up_button(QModelIndex *index  ,  QListView *view) {
       view->setRootIndex(index->parent());
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And I wrote in this slot to following code

QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;
list = new QListView(centralwidget);
//QListView *list;
list->setGeometry(QRect(250 , 250 , 250 , 250));
list->setModel(model);
list->setRootIndex(model->index(QDir::homePath()));
QListView::connect(list , SIGNAL(clicked(QModelIndex)) , list , SLOT(setRootIndex(QModelIndex)));
connect(list , SIGNAL(entered(QModelIndex)) , list , SLOT(up_button(QModelIndex , list )));

QDirModel *model = new QDirModel;
list = new QListView(centralwidget);
//QListView *list;
list->setGeometry(QRect(250 , 250 , 250 , 250));
list->setModel(model);
list->setRootIndex(model->index(QDir::homePath()));
QListView::connect(list , SIGNAL(clicked(QModelIndex)) , list , SLOT(setRootIndex(QModelIndex)));
connect(list , SIGNAL(entered(QModelIndex)) , list , SLOT(up_button(QModelIndex , list )));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and i see following Application output

Object::connect: No such slot QListView::up_button(QModelIndex , list)

where page i have to see to understand signal and slot ?

I write two slot and "double_click" work but up_button doesn't work.

connect(list , SIGNAL(doubelClicked(QModelIndex)) , this ,  SLOT(doubel_click(QModelIndex)));
connect(list , SIGNAL(clicked(QModelIndex)) , this , SLOT(up_button(QModelIndex)));

connect(list , SIGNAL(doubelClicked(QModelIndex)) , this ,  SLOT(doubel_click(QModelIndex)));
connect(list , SIGNAL(clicked(QModelIndex)) , this , SLOT(up_button(QModelIndex)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

void MainWindow::up_button(QModelIndex index) {
	list->setRootIndex(index.parent());
}

void MainWindow::up_button(QModelIndex index) {
	list->setRootIndex(index.parent());
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

void MainWindow::double_click(QModelIndex index) {
	if(static_cast<const QDirModel *>(index.model())->isDir(index)) {
		list->setRootIndex(index);
	}
}

void MainWindow::double_click(QModelIndex index) {
	if(static_cast<const QDirModel *>(index.model())->isDir(index)) {
		list->setRootIndex(index);
	}
}

I write puts("debug"); in up_button() and confirm that up_button works.
I thought that
list->setRootIndex(index.parent());
is wrong way to turn back .
I have no plan .
