I wrote you should overwrite the 'setSelection' method, NOT 'selectionChanged' method (and be careful with your spelling, there is a 'd' at the end - just in case...).

Anyway, I wasn't even aware that there is also a http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qabstractitemview.html#selectionChanged method, which is more convenient.

I understand you want to get a signal - say "signalSelectionChanged" - whenever the selection in a QListView changes (in whatever way). QListView itself does not provide such a signal (AFAIK, see http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qlistview.html#signals), so simply:

1. Inherit from QAbstractItemView (or directly from QListView), say "MyListView"

2. Overwrite selectionChanged (as you already did)

3. In your implementation, emit a signal "signalSelectionChanged"

4. Instantiate your custom "MyListView" instead of QListView and connect to "signalSelectionChanged" as needed.

So what does your implementation in "selectionChanged" look like? Do you emit a custom signal, as suggested?

Again, this is 'selectionChanged'! Take care of your spelling, including Capitalisation! Or you might not actually overwrite any method. (And yes, I /do/ have my doubts that people write correct code if they do the same spelling errors in emails ;)

I don't understand this - what "control"? What does "not getting only" mean? What is it exactly you want to "get"?


Cheers, Oliver
