Detailed Description

The QDataWidgetMapper class provides mapping between a section of a data model to widgets.

Since

4.2

\inmodule QtWidgets

QDataWidgetMapper can be used to create data-aware widgets by mapping them to sections of an item model. A section is a column of a model if the orientation is horizontal (the default), otherwise a row.

Every time the current index changes, each widget is updated with data from the model via the property specified when its mapping was made. If the user edits the contents of a widget, the changes are read using the same property and written back to the model. By default, each widget's \l{Q_PROPERTY()}{user property} is used to transfer data between the model and the widget. Since Qt 4.3, an additional addMapping() function enables a named property to be used instead of the default user property.

It is possible to set an item delegate to support custom widgets. By default, a QItemDelegate is used to synchronize the model with the widgets.

Let us assume that we have an item model named {model} with the following contents:

\table \row

• 1
• Qt Norway
• Oslo \row
• 2
• Qt Australia
• Brisbane \row
• 3
• Qt USA
• Palo Alto \row
• 4
• Qt China
• Beijing \row
• 5
• Qt Germany
• Berlin \endtable

The following code will map the columns of the model to widgets called mySpinBox, myLineEdit and {myCountryChooser}:

QDataWidgetMapper *mapper = new QDataWidgetMapper;
mapper->setModel(model);
mapper->addMapping(mySpinBox, 0);
mapper->addMapping(myLineEdit, 1);
mapper->addMapping(myCountryChooser, 2);
mapper->toFirst();

After the call to toFirst(), mySpinBox displays the value {1}, myLineEdit displays {Qt Norway} and myCountryChooser displays {Oslo}. The navigational functions toFirst(), toNext(), toPrevious(), toLast() and setCurrentIndex() can be used to navigate in the model and update the widgets with contents from the model.

The setRootIndex() function enables a particular item in a model to be specified as the root index - children of this item will be mapped to the relevant widgets in the user interface.

QDataWidgetMapper supports two submit policies, AutoSubmit and {ManualSubmit}. AutoSubmit will update the model as soon as the current widget loses focus, ManualSubmit will not update the model unless submit() is called. ManualSubmit is useful when displaying a dialog that lets the user cancel all modifications. Also, other views that display the model won't update until the user finishes all their modifications and submits.

Note that QDataWidgetMapper keeps track of external modifications. If the contents of the model are updated in another module of the application, the widgets are updated as well.

Member Enumeration Documentation

SubmitPolicy

enum QDataWidgetMapper::SubmitPolicy

This enum describes the possible submit policies a QDataWidgetMapper supports.

\value AutoSubmit Whenever a widget loses focus, the widget's current value is set to the item model. \value ManualSubmit The model is not updated until submit() is called.

QDataWidgetMapper()

QDataWidgetMapper::QDataWidgetMapper ( QObject *  parent = nullptr )

Constructs a new QDataWidgetMapper with parent object parent.

By default, the orientation is horizontal and the submit policy is {AutoSubmit}.

Member Function Documentation

addMapping() [1/2]

void QDataWidgetMapper::addMapping	(	QWidget *	widget,
		int	section
	)

Adds a mapping between a widget and a section from the model.

The section is a column in the model if the orientation is horizontal (the default), otherwise a row.

For the following example, we assume a model myModel that has two columns: the first one contains the names of people in a group, and the second column contains their ages. The first column is mapped to the QLineEdit nameLineEdit, and the second is mapped to the QSpinBox {ageSpinBox}:

QDataWidgetMapper *mapper = new QDataWidgetMapper;
mapper->setModel(myModel);
mapper->addMapping(nameLineEdit, 0);
mapper->addMapping(ageSpinBox, 1);

{Notes:} \list

• If the widget is already mapped to a section, the old mapping will be replaced by the new one.
• Only one-to-one mappings between sections and widgets are allowed. It is not possible to map a single section to multiple widgets, or to map a single widget to multiple sections. \endlist

setCurrentModelIndex

void QDataWidgetMapper::setCurrentModelIndex ( const QModelIndex &  index )

slot

Sets the current index to the row of the index if the orientation is horizontal (the default), otherwise to the column of the index.

Calls setCurrentIndex() internally. This convenience slot can be connected to the signal \l {QItemSelectionModel::}{currentRowChanged()} or \l {QItemSelectionModel::}{currentColumnChanged()} of another view's \l {QItemSelectionModel}{selection model}.

The following example illustrates how to update all widgets with new data whenever the selection of a QTableView named myTableView changes:

QDataWidgetMapper *mapper = new QDataWidgetMapper;
connect(myTableView->selectionModel(), &QItemSelectionModel::currentRowChanged,
        mapper, &QDataWidgetMapper::setCurrentModelIndex);

Here is the call graph for this function:

setItemDelegate()

void QDataWidgetMapper::setItemDelegate

(

QAbstractItemDelegate *

delegate

)

Sets the item delegate to delegate.

The delegate will be used to write data from the model into the widget and from the widget to the model, using QAbstractItemDelegate::setEditorData() and QAbstractItemDelegate::setModelData().

Any existing delegate will be removed, but not deleted. QDataWidgetMapper does not take ownership of delegate.

The delegate also decides when to apply data and when to change the editor, using QAbstractItemDelegate::commitData() and QAbstractItemDelegate::closeEditor().

Warning

You should not share the same instance of a delegate between widget mappers or views. Doing so can cause incorrect or unintuitive editing behavior since each view connected to a given delegate may receive the \l{QAbstractItemDelegate::}{closeEditor()} signal, and attempt to access, modify or close an editor that has already been closed.

orientation

QDataWidgetMapper::orientation

the orientation of the model

If the orientation is Qt::Horizontal (the default), a widget is mapped to a column of a data model. The widget will be populated with the model's data from its mapped column and the row that currentIndex() points at.

Use Qt::Horizontal for tabular data that looks like this:

\table \row

• 1
• Qt Norway
• Oslo \row
• 2
• Qt Australia
• Brisbane \row
• 3
• Qt USA
• Silicon Valley \row
• 4
• Qt China
• Beijing \row
• 5
• Qt Germany
• Berlin \endtable

If the orientation is set to Qt::Vertical, a widget is mapped to a row. Calling setCurrentIndex() will change the current column. The widget will be populates with the model's data from its mapped row and the column that currentIndex() points at.

Use Qt::Vertical for tabular data that looks like this:

\table \row

• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5 \row
• Qt Norway
• Qt Australia
• Qt USA
• Qt China
• Qt Germany \row
• Oslo
• Brisbane
• Silicon Valley

Changing the orientation clears all existing mappings.
