Accessing Multiple Levels of QVariantMap

[micgooapp]

I wanted to create multidimensional arrays in QT.
I am trying to use QVariantMap to do so :

QVariantMap v;
v["lang"] = 1;
v["test"] = 1;

QVariantMap v;
v["lang"] = 1;
v["test"] = 1;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The above code works, but when I try to create another level of array, it doesnt work.

QVariantMap v;
v["test"]["test"] = 1;

QVariantMap v;
v["test"]["test"] = 1;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

How should I get this to work in QT ?
I need this functionality to insert as well as retrieve data from the Map.
I know its possible to create another QVariantMap first and then insert it into the MAP again :

QVariantMap v;
QVariantMap test;
test["a"] = 1;
test["b"] = 2;
v["test"] = test;

QVariantMap v;
QVariantMap test;
test["a"] = 1;
test["b"] = 2;
v["test"] = test;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

However in the above code, I am not able to modify the values of the nested map again like v["test"]["b"] = 3;

Is there anyway to achieve this ?

I have been thinking if I can inherit the QVariant class and modify the [] operator.
I am not an expert with QT classes and hence if anyone can guide me on this, it will be great.

The problem you have is because of the fact that QVariantMap is really a QMap<QString,QVariant> therefore calling v["x"] returns a QVariant and not a QVariantMap so it doesn't have the index operator.

It could be helpful to know what task you are trying to solve. Maybe there is a more suitable way doing it than QVariantMap
