The QTreeView class provides a default model/view implementation of a tree view.
A QTreeView implements a tree representation of items from a model. This class is used to provide standard hierarchical lists that were previously provided by the QListView class, but using the more flexible approach provided by Qt's model/view architecture.
The QTreeView class is one of the Model/View Classes and is part of Qt's model/view framework.
QTreeView implements the interfaces defined by the QAbstractItemView class to allow it to display data provided by models derived from the QAbstractItemModel class.
It is simple to construct a tree view displaying data from a model. In the following example, the contents of a directory are supplied by a QDirModel and displayed as a tree:
QDirModel *model = new QDirModel; QTreeView *tree = new QTreeView(splitter); tree->setModel(model);
The model/view architecture ensures that the contents of the tree view are updated as the model changes.
Items that have children can be in an expanded (children are visible) or collapsed (children are hidden) state. When this state changes a collapsed() or expanded() signal is emitted with the model index of the relevant item.
The amount of indentation used to indicate levels of hierarchy is controlled by the indentation property.
Headers in tree views are constructed using the QHeaderView class and can be hidden using header()->hide(). Note that each header is configured with its stretchLastSection property set to true, ensuring that the view does not waste any of the space assigned to it for its header.
QTreeView supports a set of key bindings that enable the user to navigate in the view and interact with the contents of items:
Key | Action |
---|---|
UpArrow | Moves the cursor to the item in the same column on the previous row. If the parent of the current item has no more rows to navigate to, the cursor moves to the relevant item in the last row of the sibling that precedes the parent. |
DownArrow | Moves the cursor to the item in the same column on the next row. If the parent of the current item has no more rows to navigate to, the cursor moves to the relevant item in the first row of the sibling that follows the parent. |
LeftArrow | Hides the children of the current item (if present) by collapsing a branch. |
Minus | Same as LeftArrow. |
RightArrow | Reveals the children of the current item (if present) by expanding a branch. |
Plus | Same as RightArrow. |
Asterisk | Expands all children of the current item (if present). |
PageUp | Moves the cursor up one page. |
PageDown | Moves the cursor down one page. |
Home | Moves the cursor to an item in the same column of the first row of the first top-level item in the model. |
End | Moves the cursor to an item in the same column of the last row of the last top-level item in the model. |
F2 | In editable models, this opens the current item for editing. The Escape key can be used to cancel the editing process and revert any changes to the data displayed. |
A Windows XP style tree view. | A Macintosh style tree view. | A Plastique style tree view. |
It is possible to give the view hints about the data it is handling in order to improve its performance when displaying large numbers of items. One approach that can be taken for views that are intended to display items with equal heights is to set the uniformRowHeights property to true.

This property holds whether items should show keyboard focus using all columns.
If this property is true all columns will show focus, otherwise only one column will show focus.
The default is false.
This property was introduced in Qt 4.2.
Access functions:
This property holds whether animations are enabled.
If this property is true the treeview will animate expandsion and collasping of branches. If this property is false, the treeview will expand or collapse branches immediately without showing the animation.
This property was introduced in Qt Qt 4.2.
Access functions:
This property holds the delay time before items in a tree are opened during a drag and drop operation.
This property holds the amount of time in milliseconds that the user must wait over a node before that node will automatically open or close. If the time is set to less then 0 then it will not be activated.
This property was introduced in Qt 4.3.
Access functions:
This property holds indentation of the items in the tree view.
This property holds the indentation measured in pixels of the items for each level in the tree view. For top-level items, the indentation specifies the horizontal distance from the viewport edge to the items in the first column; for child items, it specifies their indentation from their parent items.
Access functions:
This property holds whether the items are expandable by the user.
This property holds whether the user can expand and collapse items interactively.
Access functions:
This property holds whether to show controls for expanding and collapsing top-level items.
Items with children are typically shown with controls to expand and collapse them, allowing their children to be shown or hidden. If this property is false, these controls are not shown for top-level items. This can be used to make a single level tree structure appear like a simple list of items.
By default, this property is true.
Access functions:
This property holds whether sorting is enabled.
If this property is true, sorting is enabled for the tree; if the property is false, sorting is not enabled. The default value is false.
This property was introduced in Qt Qt 4.2.
Access functions:
See also sortByColumn().
This property holds whether all items in the treeview have the same height.
This property should only be set to true if it is guaranteed that all items in the view has the same height. This enables the view to do some optimizations.
The height is obtained from the first item in the view. It is updated when the data changes on that item.
Access functions:
This property holds the item text word-wrapping policy.
If this property is true then the item text is wrapped where necessary at word-breaks; otherwise it is not wrapped at all. This property is false by default.
This property was introduced in Qt 4.3.
Access functions:
Constructs a table view with a parent to represent a model's data. Use setModel() to set the model.
See also QAbstractItemModel.
Destroys the tree view.
Collapses the model item specified by the index.
See also collapsed().
Collapses all expanded items.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also expandAll(), expand(), collapse(), and setExpanded().
This signal is emitted when the item specified by index is collapsed.
Returns the column in the tree view whose header covers the x coordinate given.
Informs the tree view that the number of columns in the tree view has changed from oldCount to newCount.
This slot is called whenever a column has been moved.
This function is called whenever column's size is changed in the header. oldSize and newSize give the previous size and the new size in pixels.
See also setColumnWidth().
Returns the horizontal position of the column in the viewport.
Returns the width of the column.
See also resizeColumnToContents() and setColumnWidth().
Draws the branches in the tree view on the same row as the model item index, using the painter given. The branches are drawn in the rectangle specified by rect.

See also setAlternatingRowColors().
Draws the part of the tree intersecting the given region using the specified painter.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also paintEvent().
Expands the model item specified by the index.

Warning: if the model contains a large number of items, this function will be take time to execute.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.
See also collapseAll(), expand(), collapse(), and setExpanded().
Expands all expandable items to the given depth.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.
See also expandAll(), collapseAll(), expand(), collapse(), and setExpanded().
This signal is emitted when the item specified by index is expanded.
See also setExpanded().
Returns the header for the tree view.
See also setHeader() and QAbstractItemModel::headerData().
Hides the column given.
Note: This function should only be called after the model has been initialized, as the view needs to know the number of columns in order to hide column.
See also showColumn() and setColumnHidden().
Returns the horizontal offset of the items in the treeview.
Note that the tree view uses the horizontal header section positions to determine the positions of columns in the view.
Reimplemented from QAbstractItemView.
See also verticalOffset().
Returns the model index of the item above index.
Returns the model index of the item below index.
Returns the size hint for the row indicated by index.
