[Qt-interest] removing items QTreeWidget

[Mystical Groovy]

Hey BRM and thanks for your reply, I've tried to store the current item into
a QTreeWidgetItem and then remove it from the list using

items.removeOne(treeWidgetItem) but didnt worked, the code compiled ok but
no item is removed when i click the remove button...

any other suggestions?
i dont understand why is that hard to remove a freaking item from a list...
