    Default Error: passing 'const QString' as 'this' argument of 'QString& QString::operator=

    Hi,

    I am getting this error:

    Qt Code:
    1. error: passing 'const QString' as 'this' argument of 'QString& QString::operator=(const QString&)' discards qualifiers
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    In this code
    Qt Code:
    1. void fixComboDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option,
    2. const QModelIndex &index) const
    3. {
    4. QString description;
    5. description = "Something";
    6. temp = description;
    7. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    temp is declared in the h as a private member
    Qt Code:
    1. private:
    2. QString temp;
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    why? And how can I do temp = description;!!!

    Thanks!

    You can't because the method is const -- it can't change any of the object fields. Such assignment in the delegate's paint routine wouldn't make any sense anyway. The delegate will be called in some time for some totally different item and what would such "temp" variable be helpful with?
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
