Detailed Description#

class PySide6.QtHelp.QHelpIndexModel#

PySide6.QtHelp.QHelpIndexModel.createIndex(customFilterName)#

Parameters: customFilterName – str

Creates a new index by querying the help system for keywords for the specified customFilterName.

PySide6.QtHelp.QHelpIndexModel.filter(filter[, wildcard=""])#

Parameters

filter – str
wildcard – str

Return type

PySide6.QtCore.QModelIndex

Filters the indices and returns the model index of the best matching keyword. In a first step, only the keywords containing filter are kept in the model’s index list. Analogously, if wildcard is not empty, only the keywords matched are left in the index list. In a second step, the best match is determined and its index model returned. When specifying a wildcard expression, the filter string is used to search for the best match.

PySide6.QtHelp.QHelpIndexModel.helpEngine()#

Return type: PySide6.QtHelp.QHelpEngineCore

Returns the associated help engine that manages this model.

This signal is emitted when the index has been created.

PySide6.QtHelp.QHelpIndexModel.indexCreationStarted()#

This signal is emitted when the creation of a new index has started. The current index is invalid from this point on until the signal indexCreated() is emitted.
