I'm using a listview with a custom made model where the items in the listview are delegates.

I can't seem to get clicking on the list view to trigger selection changed. It looks like its because the delegate uses a label to render the information.

Here are some code bits:

This is the paint function in the delegate. The viewPtr is defined elsewhere and is a pointer to the view.

Qt Code: 
  1. void MyDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, 
  2. 		     const QModelIndex &index) const
  3. {
  4.   painter->save();
  5.  
  6.   std::cout << "Row: " << index.row() << std::endl;
  7.  
  8.   if(viewPtr->indexWidget(index) == NULL)
  9.     {
  10.       QLabel *label = new QLabel();
  11.       Data *data = qVariantValue<Data*>(index.data(Qt::DisplayRole));
  12.       QString displayValue = data->displayValue();
  13.       label->setAutoFillBackground(true);
  14.       label->setWordWrap(true);
  15.       label->setText(displayValue);
  16.  
  17.  
  18.       if(option.state & QStyle::State_Selected)
  19.         {
  20.           //painter->fillRect(option.rect, option.palette.highlight());
  21.           label->setPalette(option.palette);
  22.           label->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Highlight);
  23.           viewPtr->setIndexWidget(index, label);
  24.           QItemDelegate::paint(painter, option, index);
  25.         }
  26.       else
  27.         {
  28.           if(index.row() & 1)
  29.             {
  30.               //painter->fillRect(option.rect, QBrush(QColor("#c0c0c0")));
  32.               p.setBrush(QPalette::Background, QBrush(QColor("#c0c0c0")));
  33.               label->setPalette(p);
  34.               label->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Background);
  35.               viewPtr->setIndexWidget(index, label);
  36.             }
  37.           else
  38.             {
  39.               //painter->fillRect(option.rect, QBrush(QColor("#dddddd")));
  41.               p.setBrush(QPalette::Background, QBrush(QColor("#dddddd")));
  42.               label->setPalette(p);
  43.               label->setBackgroundRole(QPalette::Background);
  44.               viewPtr->setIndexWidget(index, label);
  45.             }
  46.           QItemDelegate::paint(painter, option, index);
  47.         }
  48.     }
  49.   painter->restore();  
  50. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I've tried the following to no avail:

Qt Code: 
  1. MyDelegate delegate;
  2. delegate.setViewPointer(window->listView);
  3. window->listView->setItemDelegate(&delegate);
  4. QObject::connect(window->listView, SIGNAL(currentChanged(const QModelIndex &, const QModelIndex &)), 
  5.                    &delegate, SLOT(selected(const QModelIndex &current, const QModelIndex &)));
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The delegate class has a selected slot that I've defined.

Where am I going wrong? The above code works if I'm not using a label...
