#include <QStandardItem>
This class was introduced in Qt 4.2.
The QStandardItem class provides an item for use with the QStandardItemModel class.
Items usually contain text, icons, or checkboxes.
Each item can have its own background brush which is set with the setBackground() function. The current background brush can be found with background(). The text label for each item can be rendered with its own font and brush. These are specified with the setFont() and setForeground() functions, and read with font() and foreground().
By default, items are enabled, editable, selectable, checkable, and can be used both as the source of a drag and drop operation and as a drop target. Each item's flags can be changed by calling setFlags(). Checkable items can be checked and unchecked with the setCheckState() function. The corresponding checkState() function indicates whether the item is currently checked.
You can store application-specific data in an item by calling setData().
Each item can have a two-dimensional table of child items. This makes it possible to build hierarchies of items. The typical hierarchy is the tree, in which case the child table is a table with a single column (a list).
The dimensions of the child table can be set with setRowCount() and setColumnCount(). Items can be positioned in the child table with setChild(). Get a pointer to a child item with child(). New rows and columns of children can also be inserted with insertRow() and insertColumn(), or appended with appendRow() and appendColumn(). When using the append and insert functions, the dimensions of the child table will grow as needed.
An existing row of children can be removed with removeRow() or takeRow(); correspondingly, a column can be removed with removeColumn() or takeColumn().
An item's children can be sorted by calling sortChildren().
When subclassing QStandardItem to provide custom items, it is possible to define new types for them so that they can be distinguished from the base class. The type() function should be reimplemented to return a new type value equal to or greater than UserType.
Reimplement data() and setData() if you want to perform custom handling of data queries and/or control how an item's data is represented.
Reimplement clone() if you want QStandardItemModel to be able to create instances of your custom item class on demand (see QStandardItemModel::setItemPrototype()).
Reimplement read() and write() if you want to control how items are represented in their serialized form.
Reimplement operator<() if you want to control the semantics of item comparison. operator<() determines the sorted order when sorting items with sortChildren() or with QStandardItemModel::sort().
See also QStandardItemModel, Item View Convenience Classes, and Model/View Programming.
This enum describes the types that are used to describe standard items.
Constant | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
QStandardItem::Type | 0 | The default type for standard items. |
QStandardItem::UserType | 1000 | The minimum value for custom types. Values below UserType are reserved by Qt. |
You can define new user types in QStandardItem subclasses to ensure that custom items are treated specially; for example, when items are sorted.
See also type().

If no size hint has been set, the item delegate will compute the size hint based on the item data.
See also setSizeHint().
Sorts the children of the item using the given order, by the values in the given column.
See also operator<().
Returns the item's status tip.
See also setStatusTip(), toolTip(), and whatsThis().
Removes the child item at (row, column) without deleting it, and returns a pointer to the item. If there was no child at the given location, then this function returns 0.
Note that this function, unlike takeRow() and takeColumn(), does not affect the dimensions of the child table.
See also child(), takeRow(), and takeColumn().
Removes column without deleting the column items, and returns a list of pointers to the removed items. For items in the column that have not been set, the corresponding pointers in the list will be 0.
See also removeColumn(), insertColumn(), and takeRow().
Removes row without deleting the row items, and returns a list of pointers to the removed items. For items in the row that have not been set, the corresponding pointers in the list will be 0.
See also removeRow(), insertRow(), and takeColumn().
Returns the item's text. This is the text that's presented to the user in a view.
See also setText().
Returns the text alignment for the item's text.
See also setTextAlignment().
Returns the item's tooltip.
See also setToolTip(), statusTip(), and whatsThis().
Returns the type of this item. The type is used to distinguish custom items from the base class. When subclassing QStandardItem, you should reimplement this function and return a new value greater than or equal to UserType.
See also QStandardItem::Type.
Returns the item's "What's This?" help.
See also setWhatsThis(), toolTip(), and statusTip().
Writes the item to stream out. Only the data and flags of the item are written, not the child items.
See also read().
Returns true if this item is less than other; otherwise returns false.
The default implementation uses the data for the item's sort role (see QStandardItemModel::sortRole) to perform the comparison if the item belongs to a model; otherwise, the data for the item's Qt::DisplayRole (text()) is used to perform the comparison.
sortChildren() and QStandardItemModel::sort() use this function when sorting items. If you want custom sorting, you can subclass QStandardItem and reimplement this function.
Assigns other's data and flags to this item. Note that type() and model() are not copied.
This function is useful when reimplementing clone().
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.
