Hi
I have a simple question, sometimes in QListWidget I need to display an item with hidden tag like the ID for further operations like deleting the item from the database.

Is there a field that can be assigned with the display text just as hidden field, it would be great for simple scenarios.
The same feature exists in .NET as tag field as I remember.

thanks

That’s what the roles are for.

// To avoid magic values:
const Qt::ItemDataRole IdRole = Qt::ItemDataRole(Qt::UserRole + 1);
yourItem->setData(IdRole, "some text");
...
QString id = yourItem->data(IdRole).toString();
