Detailed Description¶
QStandardItemModel
can be used as a repository for standard Qt data types. It is one of the Model/View Classes and is part of Qt’s model/view framework.
QStandardItemModel
provides a classic item-based approach to working with the model. The items in aQStandardItemModel
are provided byQStandardItem
.
QStandardItemModel
implements theQAbstractItemModel
interface, which means that the model can be used to provide data in any view that supports that interface (such asQListView
,QTableView
andQTreeView
, and your own custom views). For performance and flexibility, you may want to subclassQAbstractItemModel
to provide support for different kinds of data repositories. For example, theQDirModel
provides a model interface to the underlying file system.When you want a list or tree, you typically create an empty
QStandardItemModel
and useappendRow()
to add items to the model, anditem()
to access an item. If your model represents a table, you typically pass the dimensions of the table to theQStandardItemModel
constructor and usesetItem()
to position items into the table. You can also usesetRowCount()
andsetColumnCount()
to alter the dimensions of the model. To insert items, useinsertRow()
orinsertColumn()
, and to remove items, useremoveRow()
orremoveColumn()
.You can set the header labels of your model with
setHorizontalHeaderLabels()
andsetVerticalHeaderLabels()
.You can search for items in the model with
findItems()
, and sort the model by callingsort()
.Call
clear()
to remove all items from the model.An example usage of
QStandardItemModel
to create a table:model = QStandardItemModel (4, 4) for row in range(4): for column in range(4): item = QStandardItem("row %d, column %d" % (row, column)) model.setItem(row, column, item)An example usage of
QStandardItemModel
to create a tree:model = QStandardItemModel() parentItem = model.invisibleRootItem() for i in range(4): item = QStandardItem("item %d" % i) parentItem.appendRow(item) parentItem = itemAfter setting the model on a view, you typically want to react to user actions, such as an item being clicked. Since a
QAbstractItemView
providesQModelIndex
-based signals and functions, you need a way to obtain theQStandardItem
that corresponds to a givenQModelIndex
, and vice versa.itemFromIndex()
andindexFromItem()
provide this mapping. Typical usage ofitemFromIndex()
includes obtaining the item at the current index in a view, and obtaining the item that corresponds to an index carried by aQAbstractItemView
signal, such asclicked()
. First you connect the view’s signal to a slot in your class:treeView = QTreeView(self) treeView.setModel(myStandardItemModel) treeView.clicked[QModelIndex].connect(self.clicked)When you receive the signal, you call
itemFromIndex()
on the given model index to get a pointer to the item:def clicked(self, index): item = myStandardItemModel.itemFromIndex(index) # Do stuff with the item ...Conversely, you must obtain the
QModelIndex
of an item when you want to invoke a model/view function that takes an index as argument. You can obtain the index either by using the model’sindexFromItem()
function, or, equivalently, by callingindex()
:treeView.scrollTo(item.index())You are, of course, not required to use the item-based approach; you could instead rely entirely on the
QAbstractItemModel
interface when working with the model, or use a combination of the two as appropriate.

PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
appendColumn
(items)¶ - Parameters

items –
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
clear

-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
clearItemData
(index)¶ - Parameters
index –
QModelIndex
- Return type
bool

index
. Returnstrue
ifindex
is valid and data was cleared,false
otherwise.See also

data()
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
findItems
(text[, flags=Qt.MatchExactly[, column=0]])¶ - Parameters

text
, using the givenflags
, in the givencolumn
.

(column)¶ - Parameters
column –
int
- Return type
Returns the horizontal header item for
column
if one has been set; otherwise returnsNone
.
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
indexFromItem
(item)¶ - Parameters
item –
QStandardItem
- Return type
QModelIndex
Returns the
QModelIndex
associated with the givenitem
.Use this function when you want to perform an operation that requires the
QModelIndex
of the item, such asscrollTo()
.index()
is provided as convenience; it is equivalent to calling this function.See also
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
insertColumn
(column, items)¶ - Parameters
column –
int
items –
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
insertRow
(row, item)¶ - Parameters
row –
int
item –
QStandardItem
This is an overloaded function.
Inserts a row at
row
containingitem
.When building a list or a tree that has only one column, this function provides a convenient way to append a single new item.
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
insertRow
(row, items) - Parameters
row –
int
items –
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
invisibleRootItem
()¶ - Return type
Returns the model’s invisible root item.
The invisible root item provides access to the model’s top-level items through the
QStandardItem
API, making it possible to write functions that can treat top-level items and their children in a uniform way; for example, recursive functions involving a tree model.Note
Calling
index()
on theQStandardItem
object retrieved from this function is not valid.
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
item
(row[, column=0])¶ - Parameters
row –
int
column –
int
- Return type
Returns the item for the given
row
andcolumn
if one has been set; otherwise returnsNone
.See also
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
itemChanged
(item)¶ - Parameters
item –
QStandardItem
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
itemFromIndex
(index)¶ - Parameters
index –
QModelIndex
- Return type
Returns a pointer to the
QStandardItem
associated with the givenindex
.Calling this function is typically the initial step when processing
QModelIndex
-based signals from a view, such asactivated()
. In your slot, you call , with theQModelIndex
carried by the signal as argument, to obtain a pointer to the correspondingQStandardItem
.Note that this function will lazily create an item for the index (using
itemPrototype()
), and set it in the parent item’s child table, if no item already exists at that index.If
index
is an invalid index, this function returnsNone
.See also
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
itemPrototype
()¶ - Return type
Returns the item prototype used by the model. The model uses the item prototype as an item factory when it needs to construct new items on demand (for instance, when a view or item delegate calls
setData()
).See also
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
setColumnCount
(columns)¶ - Parameters
columns –
int
Sets the number of columns in this model to
columns
. If this is less thancolumnCount()
, the data in the unwanted columns is discarded.See also
columnCount()
setRowCount()
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
setHorizontalHeaderItem
(column, item)¶ - Parameters
column –
int
item –
QStandardItem
Sets the horizontal header item for
column
toitem
. The model takes ownership of the item. If necessary, the column count is increased to fit the item. The previous header item (if there was one) is deleted.
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
setHorizontalHeaderLabels
(labels)¶ - Parameters
labels – list of strings
Sets the horizontal header labels using
labels
. If necessary, the column count is increased to the size oflabels
.See also
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
setItem
(row, item)¶ - Parameters
row –
int
item –
QStandardItem
This is an overloaded function.
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
setItem
(row, column, item) - Parameters
row –
int
column –
int
item –
QStandardItem
Sets the item for the given
row
andcolumn
toitem
. The model takes ownership of the item. If necessary, the row count and column count are increased to fit the item. The previous item at the given location (if there was one) is deleted.See also
-
PySide2.QtGui.QStandardItemModel.
setItemPrototype
(item)¶ - Parameters
item –
QStandardItem
Sets the item prototype for the model to the specified
item
. The model takes ownership of the prototype.The item prototype acts as a
QStandardItem
factory, by relying on theclone()
function. To provide your own prototype, subclassQStandardItem
, reimplementclone()
and set the prototype to be an instance of your custom class. WheneverQStandardItemModel
needs to create an item on demand (for instance, when a view or item delegate callssetData()
)), the new items will be instances of your custom class.See also
