Detailed Description

A QPersistentModelIndex is a model index that can be stored by an application, and later used to access information in a model. Unlike the QModelIndex class, it is safe to store a QPersistentModelIndex since the model will ensure that references to items will continue to be valid as long as they can be accessed by the model.

It is good practice to check that persistent model indexes are valid before using them.

Note

You cannot store a QStandardItemModel ‘s QPersistentModelIndex in one of the model’s items.

class PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex(index)

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex(other)

Parameters

• other – PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex

• index – PySide6.QtCore.QModelIndex

Creates a new QPersistentModelIndex that is a copy of the model index.

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.column()

Return type

int

Returns the column this persistent model index refers to.

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.constInternalPointer()

Return type

void

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.data([role=Qt.DisplayRole])

Parameters

role – int

Return type

object

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

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.flags()

Return type

ItemFlags

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

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.internalId()

Return type

quintptr

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.internalPointer()

Return type

void

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.isValid()

Return type

bool

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

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

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.model()

Return type

PySide6.QtCore.QAbstractItemModel

Returns the model that the index belongs to.

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.__ne__(other)

Parameters

other – PySide6.QtCore.QModelIndex

Return type

bool

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

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.__ne__(other)

Parameters

other – PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex

Return type

bool

Returns true if this persistent model index is not equal to the other persistent model index; otherwise returns false.

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.__lt__(other)

Parameters

other – PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex

Return type

bool

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.__eq__(other)

Parameters

other – PySide6.QtCore.QModelIndex

Return type

bool

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

The internal data pointer, row, column, and model values in the persistent model index are used when comparing with another model index.

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.__eq__(other)

Parameters

other – PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex

Return type

bool

Returns true if this persistent model index is equal to the other persistent model index; otherwise returns false.

The internal data pointer, row, column, and model values in the persistent model index are used when comparing with another persistent model index.

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.parent()

Return type

PySide6.QtCore.QModelIndex

Returns the parent QModelIndex for this persistent index, or an invalid QModelIndex if it has no parent.

sibling() model()

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.row()

Return type

int

Returns the row this persistent model index refers to.

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.sibling(row, column)

Parameters

• row – int

• column – int

Return type

PySide6.QtCore.QModelIndex

Returns the sibling at row and column or an invalid QModelIndex if there is no sibling at this position.

parent()

PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.swap(other)

Parameters

other – PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex

Swaps this persistent modelindex with other. This function is very fast and never fails.
