Hello all,
I'm trying to capture all signals from a TreeWidget indicating that something in the logical structure of data displayed by widget is changed. Expanded and collapsed status don't care.
In particular, I am looking for signals activated when
1: items are sorted
2: items are reordered by internal drag and drop
4: item added, deleted by external drag and drop
5: item added
6: item deleted
7: item changed

The same problem with qt3 widget QListView.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Have a look at the signals emitted by the underlying model, especially the layoutChanged signal.

You can access the model via

Code: Select all

treeView->model()


where treeView is a instance of QTreeWidget class.

With these model signals "layoutChanged", "dataChanged", "headerDataChanged", "rowsInserted", "rowsRemoved", it works for sorting (sortingEnabled=True), but does not work with drag and drop.

Another question: if sorting is enabled, Qt4 applies sorting at every item change/insertion into the model. It is possible to sort only when user clicks on a column header (the same behavior of Qt3).

Try to extend from QTreeView and override the drag and drop functions in here.
