Model with two very different views

[mholmes]

You're right, that's the way to go; but I'm already using a QSortFilterProxyModel to enable the user to filter the QStringListModel content based on regular expressions. Can you chain together multiple QSortFilterProxyModels (i.e., originalSource->QSortFilterProxyModel to produce item list->QSortFilterProxyModel to allow user filtering)?

Cheers,

I've done this, but I'm encountering a problem. My core model is a DomModel object, taken directly from the SimpleDomModel example. That works well with the tree view. Then I'm using my own QSortFilterProxyModel descendant to filter the output, like this:

bool HcmcXmlIdFilter::filterAcceptsRow ( int source_row, const QModelIndex &source_parent ) const{
DomItem *parentItem;

if (source_parent.isValid()){
parentItem = static_cast<DomItem*>(source_parent.internalPointe r());
DomItem *childItem = parentItem->child(source_row);
if (childItem){
QDomNode n = childItem->node();
if (n.isElement()){
if (n.toElement().hasAttribute("xml:id")){
return true;
}
}
}
}
return false;
}

However, no content is showing up in the QListView. Even when I set that function to return true by default, only the top level elements show up in the list; child elements in the tree do not seem to be processed. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
