Synopsis

Functions

Detailed Description

A QPersistentModelIndex is a model index that can be stored by an application, and later used to access information in a model. Unlike the QModelIndex class, it is safe to store a QPersistentModelIndex since the model will ensure that references to items will continue to be valid as long as they can be accessed by the model.

It is good practice to check that persistent model indexes are valid before using them.

class QPersistentModelIndex

QPersistentModelIndex(index)

QPersistentModelIndex(other)

param other

QPersistentModelIndex

param index

QModelIndex

Creates a new QPersistentModelIndex that is a copy of the model index .

Creates a new QPersistentModelIndex that is a copy of the other persistent model index.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.child(row, column)
Parameters
  • rowint

  • columnint

This function is deprecated.

Use index() instead.

Return type

ItemFlags

Returns the flags for the item referred to by the index.

Return type

quintptr

Returns a quintptr used by the model to associate the index with the internal data structure.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.internalPointer()
Return type

void

Returns a void * pointer used by the model to associate the index with the internal data structure.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.isValid()
Return type

bool

Returns true if this persistent model index is valid; otherwise returns false .

A valid index belongs to a model, and has non-negative row and column numbers.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.model()
Return type

QAbstractItemModel

Returns the model that the index belongs to.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.__ne__(other)
Parameters

otherQModelIndex

Return type

bool

Returns true if this persistent model index does not refer to the same location as the other model index; otherwise returns false .

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.__ne__(other)
Parameters

otherQPersistentModelIndex

Return type

bool

Returns true if this persistent model index is not equal to the other persistent model index; otherwise returns false .

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.__lt__(other)
Parameters

otherQPersistentModelIndex

Return type

bool

Returns true if this persistent model index is smaller than the other persistent model index; otherwise returns false .

The internal data pointer, row, column, and model values in the persistent model index are used when comparing with another persistent model index.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.operator=(other)
Parameters

otherQModelIndex

Return type

QPersistentModelIndex

Sets the persistent model index to refer to the same item in a model as the other model index.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.__eq__(other)
Parameters

otherQModelIndex

Return type

bool

Returns true if this persistent model index refers to the same location as the other model index; otherwise returns false .

The internal data pointer, row, column, and model values in the persistent model index are used when comparing with another model index.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.__eq__(other)
Parameters

otherQPersistentModelIndex

Return type

bool

Returns true if this persistent model index is equal to the other persistent model index; otherwise returns false .

The internal data pointer, row, column, and model values in the persistent model index are used when comparing with another persistent model index.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.parent()
Return type

QModelIndex

Returns the parent QModelIndex for this persistent index, or an invalid QModelIndex if it has no parent.

sibling() model()

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.row()
Return type

int

Returns the row this persistent model index refers to.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.sibling(row, column)
Parameters
  • rowint

  • columnint

Return type

QModelIndex

Returns the sibling at row and column or an invalid QModelIndex if there is no sibling at this position.

PySide2.QtCore.QPersistentModelIndex.swap(other)
Parameters

otherQPersistentModelIndex

Swaps this persistent modelindex with other . This function is very fast and never fails.
