Detailed Description

The QModelIndex class is used to locate data in a data model.

This class is used as an index into item models derived from QAbstractItemModel. The index is used by item views, delegates, and selection models to locate an item in the model.

New QModelIndex objects are created by the model using the QAbstractItemModel::createIndex() function. An invalid model index can be constructed with the QModelIndex constructor. Invalid indexes are often used as parent indexes when referring to top-level items in a model.

Model indexes refer to items in models, and contain all the information required to specify their locations in those models. Each index is located in a given row and column, and may have a parent index; use row(), column(), and parent() to obtain this information. Each top-level item in a model is represented by a model index that does not have a parent index - in this case, parent() will return an invalid model index, equivalent to an index constructed with the zero argument form of the QModelIndex() constructor.

To obtain a model index that refers to an existing item in a model, call QAbstractItemModel::index() with the required row and column values, and the model index of the parent. When referring to top-level items in a model, supply QModelIndex() as the parent index.

The model() function returns the model that the index references as a QAbstractItemModel. The child() function is used to examine items held under the index in the model. The sibling() function allows you to traverse items in the model on the same level as the index.

Note: Model indexes should be used immediately and then discarded. You should not rely on indexes to remain valid after calling model functions that change the structure of the model or delete items. If you need to keep a model index over time use a QPersistentModelIndex.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QModelIndex::QModelIndex ( const QModelIndex & other )

Copy constructs a new QModelIndex from other.

QModelIndex::QModelIndex ( QModelIndex && other )

Move constructs a new QModelIndex from other.

QModelIndex::~QModelIndex ( )

Destroys the model index.

QModelIndex::QModelIndex ( )

inline

Creates a new empty model index. This type of model index is used to indicate that the position in the model is invalid.

See also: isValid(), QAbstractItemModel

Method Documentation

QModelIndex QModelIndex::child	(	int	row,
		int	column
	)		const

inline

Returns the child of the model index that is stored in the given row and column.

Note: This function does not work for an invalid model index which is often used as the root index.

See also: parent(), sibling()

int QModelIndex::column ( ) const

inline

Returns the column this model index refers to.

QVariant QModelIndex::data ( int role = Qt::DisplayRole ) const

inline

Returns the data for the given role for the item referred to by the index.

Qt::ItemFlags QModelIndex::flags ( ) const

inline

Returns the flags for the item referred to by the index.

qint64 QModelIndex::internalId ( ) const

inline

Returns a qint64 used by the model to associate the index with the internal data structure.

See also: QAbstractItemModel::createIndex()

void * QModelIndex::internalPointer ( ) const

inline

Returns a void * pointer used by the model to associate the index with the internal data structure.

See also: QAbstractItemModel::createIndex()

bool QModelIndex::isValid ( ) const

inline

Returns true if this model index is valid, otherwise returns false.

A valid index belongs to a model, and has non-negative row and column numbers.

See also: model(), row(), column()

const QAbstractItemModel * QModelIndex::model ( ) const

inline

Returns a pointer to the model containing the item that this index refers to.

A const pointer to the model is returned because calls to non-const functions of the model might invalidate the model index and possibly crash your application.

bool QModelIndex::operator!= ( const QModelIndex & other ) const

inline

Returns true if this model index does not refer to the same location as the other model index, otherwise returns false.

bool QModelIndex::operator< ( const QModelIndex & other ) const

inline

Returns true if this model index is smaller than the other model index, otherwise returns false.

bool QModelIndex::operator== ( const QModelIndex & other ) const

inline

Returns true if this model index refers to the same location as the other model index, otherwise returns false.

All values in the model index are used when comparing with another model index.

QModelIndex QModelIndex::parent ( ) const

inline

Returns the parent of the model index, or QModelIndex() if it has no parent.

See also: child(), sibling(), model()

int QModelIndex::row ( ) const

inline

Returns the row this model index refers to.

QModelIndex QModelIndex::sibling	(	int	row,
		int	column
	)		const

inline

Returns the sibling at row and column. If there is no sibling at this position, an invalid QModelIndex is returned.
