Converting QModelIndex to QString

c++, qmodelindex, qstring, qt

Solution

foolistView->selectionModel()->selectedIndexes();

Send you back a QList of QModelIndex (only one if you view is in QAbstractItemView::SingleSelection)

The data method of QModelIndex return a QVariant corresponding to the value of this index.

You can get the string value of this QVariant by calling toString on it.

Problem

Is there a way to convert QModelIndex to QString? The main goal behind this is that I want to work with the contents of dynamically generated QListView-Items. ``` QFileSystemModel *foolist = new QFileSystemModel; foolist->setRootPath(QDir::rootPath()); foolistView->setModel(foolist); [...] QMessageBox bar; QString foolist_selectedtext = foolistView->selectionModel()->selectedIndexes(); bar.setText(foolist_selectedtext); bar.exec; ``` Is this even the correct way to get the currently selected Item? Thanks in advance!
