Hi !

I have a ListView and would like to inject some elements in the container of the row, based upon very specific circumstances. Hence, I have to do this from c++. From a ListView object, I am using the children() method to get a ListItemComponent, a class only available in QML according to the Documentation. But how can I acess a child view of a ListView in C++ ?

Thanks

I don't know how to access the data from C++ if ListView was created using ListItemComponents.

But you can configure ListView to use a model (one of DataModel subclasses) and ListItemProvider to create the items. Then access the data using the model:

listView.model().data(indexPath)

listView.model().childCount()

When model is updated listView will call ListItemProvider's updateItem() where you can make the changes to visuals.

Keeping a pointer to visual item to change it directly is unsafe because ListView owns it and can reuse it for other row at any moment.

Yes but this will give me access to the data of the item, not the view itself.

Access the view in ListItemProvider's updateItem().

Modify the data to trigger updates.

has anybody done this yet?

Please provide more details about what you want to do. An example with cpp and qml will help to understand your goals.. Many devs complicate simple things.

You can use control delegates to change ui of listview items.

Because the listitems are recycled, and the fact that they are based on the underlying data, I would suggest that you have whatever dynamic data you are wanting to add already in the item just set to visible=false.

Then you can update the underlying data and can make the content show based on whatever criteria needs to be met for that section to show. The listview and components structure was not designed to update a single cell and its data since the data changes in a single component as scrolling happens.

Actually I've to show a Label inside listView items. Certain alphabets of the Label will be colored based on some logic. How to get certain alphabets of the Label colored deserves another post. But for this thread, whenever a row is created or recycled I want to run the logic to present the Label with text colored.
