    Default Retrieve QTreeWidgetItem in delegate

    I have a class that inherits QStyledItemDelegate. I override the following methods:

    Qt Code:
    1. QWidget *createEditor ( QWidget * parent, const QStyleOptionViewItem & option, const QModelIndex & index ) const;
    2. void setModelData( QWidget * editor, QAbstractItemModel * model, const QModelIndex & index ) const;
    3. void setEditorData ( QWidget * editor, const QModelIndex & index ) const;
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Is it possible to retrieve the QTreeWidgetItem on which the user clicked in the createEditor method of the delegate?

    Thanks in advance

    Default Re: Retrieve QTreeWidgetItem in delegate

    If you pass a pointer to the tree widget to the delegate so that you can retrieve it in createEditor() then you can use QTreeWidget::itemFromIndex().
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    Sorry for resurrecting this, but it's a very useful post. How does this work, though, since QTreeWidget::itemFromIndex is protected?


    Added after 22 minutes:


    In the end, I didn't need the item but rather its data. Instead, I called QModelIndex::data() with the appropriate data role and worked with that. That's what QStyledItemDelegate does in the base implementation, by the way. Depending on your use case, that might work for you.
