[Qt-interest] Retrieve a particular item from the QTreeView

[Constantin Makshin]

Here is a part of my application I'm currently working on:

void TechniqueView::selectOperation (const QItemSelection& item)
{
    m_selectedOperation = item.isEmpty() ? 0 : m_model->operationIdAtRow(item.first().top());
    emit selectionChanged();
}

TechniqueView::TechniqueView (...)
{
    ...
    m_table = new QTableView(this);
    m_model = new TechniqueModel(technique, m_table, false);
    m_table->setModel(m_model);
    m_table->setSelectionMode(QTableView::SingleSelection);
    ...
    connect(m_table->selectionModel(), SIGNAL(selectionChanged(QItemSelection, QItemSelection)), SLOT(selectOperation(QItemSelection)));
    ...
}

Since I need to track only selected item(s), the second signal parameter is ignored.
QItemSelection contains selection *ranges*, so even if the user selects all items in a view, this selection may be represented as one QItemSelection object. In my case only one item (table cell) can be selected at once, so the slot takes only the first item in the list.

I admit this is somewhat simplified example of selectionChanged() signal usage, but unfortunately there's nothing [significantly] more complex I can demonstrate.
