PySide6.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex

class QPersistentModelIndex

The QPersistentModelIndex class is used to locate data in a data model.

Details

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.

__init__()
__init__(index)
Parameters:

index – QModelIndex

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

__init__(other)
Parameters:

other – QPersistentModelIndex

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

column()
Return type:

int

Returns the column this persistent model index refers to.

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, or a default-constructed QVariant if this persistent model index is invalid .

flags()
Return type:

Combination of ItemFlag

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

internalId()
Return type:

quintptr

internalPointer()
Return type:

void

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.

model()
Return type:

QAbstractItemModel

Returns the model that the index belongs to.

multiData(roleDataSpan)
Parameters:

roleDataSpan – QModelRoleDataSpan

Populates the given roleDataSpan for the item referred to by the index.

__ne__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QModelIndex

Return type:

bool

__ne__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QPersistentModelIndex

Return type:

bool

__lt__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QModelIndex

Return type:

bool

__lt__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QPersistentModelIndex

Return type:

bool

__le__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QModelIndex

Return type:

bool

__le__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QPersistentModelIndex

Return type:

bool

operator=(other)
Parameters:

other – QModelIndex

Return type:

QPersistentModelIndex

Sets the persistent model index to refer to the same item in a model as the other model index.

__eq__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QModelIndex

Return type:

bool

__eq__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QPersistentModelIndex

Return type:

bool

__gt__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QModelIndex

Return type:

bool

__gt__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QPersistentModelIndex

Return type:

bool

__ge__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QModelIndex

Return type:

bool

__ge__(rhs)
Parameters:

rhs – QPersistentModelIndex

Return type:

bool

parent()
Return type:

QModelIndex

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

sibling() model()

row()
Return type:

int

Returns the row this persistent model index refers to.

sibling(row, column)
Parameters:
  • row – int

  • column – int

Return type:

QModelIndex

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

swap(other)
Parameters:

other – QPersistentModelIndex

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