Help with getting my custom model working

[fullmetalcoder]

When I'm calling the insertRows function, I don't know the parent at all. The description in the function reads So If I never have the parent... thats probably why it doesn't work?l

The point is that you never HAVE any parents anywhere since you're using a table and not a hierarchical (i.e. tree) model. When no parent is involved the parent is the header node which is represented by an invalid parent (which is the default parent passed to all methods that require a parent BTW... )

Ok, that makes sense since this is just a flat model. So any ideas why nothing shows up on my QListView after I add an item to my model?

May I ask for the full code?

[thomaspu]

Sure, let me put it together. Just a few min...

Ok, all you need is attached.

Ok I found the bug... You messed up the rowCount() function... The point in this one is to return the number of connections when the parent passed is the root node (so an invalid index) and to return 0 (no child) when the parent is valid (i.e. one of the connection...)

Note that before I found that I added a columnCount() function so you may also need to add it so as to have your model working properly...

Ah, yes, that was it! Yeah, you return the number of connections when the parent is invalid. Which in my case is always cause my list is flat and doesn't have a parent.

Thanks for all the help, I think I'm good to go for a bit!
