A question on what Widget to use.
Hello,
I have been looking at widgets, and haven’t found the right one yet. I’d like to ask for suggestions. I have a fairly long list of items, and I would like some type of list widgets. (The ones I look at, don’t seem to be for simple use like I want) I’d like the user to be able to click on the a list items, and the GUI displays that items data.
I’m still fairly new at Qt, and the technical explanations are still overwhelming and i can’t tell if they do what I want them to do. I’m just trying to make something simple.
-Thanks

The simplest “list” widget for your purposes is probably QListView [developer.qt.nokia.com]. You will need to write a little code to determine when a user clicks on an item, and then to display the proper data wherever you would like it.
QListWidget is even simpler to use in case you don’t have some sophisticated data storage on the backend.
I think a QListView in combination with a QStandardItemModel or even a [[QStringListModel]] is just as simple, and way more flexible.
