Hi there!

There is a way to iterate the XmlDataModel using C++???

Thanks!

Use XmlDataModel::childCount(QVariantList) to obtain the child count for a particular indexPath.

Every indexPath is a QVariantList of int's, each int being an index. The empty indexPath will be the path to the root element.

So:

QVariantList path;

qDebug() << xmlDataModel.childCount(path);

will output the number of child elements.

You can retrieve the elements with:

XmlDataModel::data(QVariantList)

Which QVariantList  parameter should I need to set? If I wanna see all the elements for instance? it is not very clear for me how it should be according to the documentation:

Well, it's a tree structure (an XML document), so if your indexPath has no elements:

[]

then childCount will return the number of root nodes in your document (which it turns out is the number of elements beneath the root node):

<root>

<item>One</item>

<item>Two</item>

<item>Three<subitem>A</subitem></item>

</root>

So :

QVariantList path;

// path is empty []

m_model->childCount(path);  // returns 3 - 3 items

path.append(QVariant(2));

m_model->data(path);   // returns QVariantMap for item Three

I've not actually played with going deeper, but in theory:

path.append(0);

m_model->data(path);  // returns QVariantMap for subitem A

In the last case, path now has [2,0] as the indexPath.

Easiest is to play around with this and use qDebug() to see what it does.

It works

But I can not change the data.... do you know how to change the data in the model?? for instance, the item 

<item>One</item>

I wnat to change it for :

<item> this is the one </item>
