Using QAbstractItemView

[GrahamLabdon]

Hi
I have a data structure that looks like (this will grow)

Identity
Location (string)
Name (string)
Company (string)
Tool Type (enumeration)
Configuration
Spacing (int)
Offset (int)
Reference (int)

I have a struct to store these values.
I want to display this in a QTreeView to allow the suer to edit them.
To this end I created a subclass of QAbstractItemModel but am now having problems implementing the virtual methods. For example i cant figure out what to do in the index() method.
I am wrong to use QAbstractItemModel ?
Is there a better way?

TIA

Graham

If you don't feel comfortable with implementing your own model, use QStandardItemModel.

Thanks for your reply
As a first attempt I did this

QStandardItemModel model;
	 QStandardItem *parentItem = model.invisibleRootItem();
	 for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
	     QStandardItem *item = new QStandardItem(QString("item %0").arg(i));
	     parentItem->appendRow(item);
	     parentItem = item;
	 }
 
	 QTreeView *treeView = new QTreeView(this);
	 treeView->setModel(&model);

QStandardItemModel model;
	 QStandardItem *parentItem = model.invisibleRootItem();
	 for (int i = 0; i < 4; ++i) {
	     QStandardItem *item = new QStandardItem(QString("item %0").arg(i));
	     parentItem->appendRow(item);
	     parentItem = item;
	 }

	 QTreeView *treeView = new QTreeView(this);
	 treeView->setModel(&model);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The treeView is displayed but contains no data

what might I have missed

Your model goes out of scope.
