[Interest] QAbstractItemView and default QItemSelectionModel

[Eric Clark]

Hello All,

I have a curious question about the default QItemSelectionModel that is created whenever a QAbstractItemView is created: Is this default selection model parented to the view? What I really want to know is, if I create a new QAbstractItemView, set the model on it and then create a new QItemSelectionModel and pass it into the view's setSelectionModel() function, will the default selection model be deleted when the view is deleted? The documentation is a little hazy on this topic. It says that "It is up to the application to delete the old selection model if it is no longer needed...", but that it will be deleted by its parent if it has one. So, I have a new view and I am changing its selection model to my own and the one that was created by default is no longer needed. Should I go ahead and delete the old default selection model, or is it safe to say it is parented to the view and will be deleted when the view is deleted?

Thank You,
Eric
