Detailed Description

A QItemSelectionModel keeps track of the selected items in a view, or in several views onto the same model. It also keeps track of the currently selected item in a view.

The QItemSelectionModel class is one of the Model/View Classes and is part of Qt’s model/view framework .

The selected items are stored using ranges. Whenever you want to modify the selected items use select() and provide either a QItemSelection , or a QModelIndex and a SelectionFlag .

The QItemSelectionModel takes a two layer approach to selection management, dealing with both selected items that have been committed and items that are part of the current selection. The current selected items are part of the current interactive selection (for example with rubber-band selection or keyboard-shift selections).

To update the currently selected items, use the bitwise OR of Current and any of the other SelectionFlags . If you omit the Current command, a new current selection will be created, and the previous one added to the whole selection. All functions operate on both layers; for example, selecteditems() will return items from both layers.

Note

Since 5.5, model , hasSelection , and currentIndex are meta-object properties.

param parent:

PySide2.QtCore.QObject

param model:

PySide2.QtCore.QAbstractItemModel

Constructs a selection model that operates on the specified item model .

Constructs a selection model that operates on the specified item model with parent .

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.SelectionFlag

This enum describes the way the selection model will be updated.

Constant

Description

QItemSelectionModel.NoUpdate

No selection will be made.

QItemSelectionModel.Clear

The complete selection will be cleared.

QItemSelectionModel.Select

All specified indexes will be selected.

QItemSelectionModel.Deselect

All specified indexes will be deselected.

QItemSelectionModel.Toggle

All specified indexes will be selected or deselected depending on their current state.

QItemSelectionModel.Current

The current selection will be updated.

QItemSelectionModel.Rows

All indexes will be expanded to span rows.

QItemSelectionModel.Columns

All indexes will be expanded to span columns.

QItemSelectionModel.SelectCurrent

A combination of Select and Current, provided for convenience.

QItemSelectionModel.ToggleCurrent

A combination of Toggle and Current, provided for convenience.

QItemSelectionModel.ClearAndSelect

A combination of Clear and Select, provided for convenience.

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.clear()

Clears the selection model. Emits selectionChanged() and currentChanged() .

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.clearCurrentIndex()

Clears the current index. Emits currentChanged() .

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.clearSelection()

Clears the selection in the selection model. Emits selectionChanged() .

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.columnIntersectsSelection(column[, parent=QModelIndex()])
Parameters:
Return type:

bool

Returns true if there are any items selected in the column with the given parent .

Note

Since Qt 5.15, the default argument for parent is an empty model index.

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.currentChanged(current, previous)
Parameters:
PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.currentColumnChanged(current, previous)
Parameters:
PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.currentIndex()
Return type:

PySide2.QtCore.QModelIndex

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.currentRowChanged(current, previous)
Parameters:
PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.emitSelectionChanged(newSelection, oldSelection)
Parameters:

Compares the two selections newSelection and oldSelection and emits selectionChanged() with the deselected and selected items.

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.hasSelection()
Return type:

bool

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.isColumnSelected(column[, parent=QModelIndex()])
Parameters:
Return type:

bool

Returns true if all items are selected in the column with the given parent .

Note that this function is usually faster than calling isSelected() on all items in the same column and that unselectable items are ignored.

Note

Since Qt 5.15, the default argument for parent is an empty model index.

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.isRowSelected(row[, parent=QModelIndex()])
Parameters:
Return type:

bool

Returns true if all items are selected in the row with the given parent .

Note that this function is usually faster than calling isSelected() on all items in the same row and that unselectable items are ignored.

Note

Since Qt 5.15, the default argument for parent is an empty model index.

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.isSelected(index)
Parameters:

indexPySide2.QtCore.QModelIndex

Return type:

bool

Returns true if the given model item index is selected.

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.model()
Return type:

PySide2.QtCore.QAbstractItemModel

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.modelChanged(model)
Parameters:

modelPySide2.QtCore.QAbstractItemModel

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.reset()

Clears the selection model. Does not emit any signals.

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.rowIntersectsSelection(row[, parent=QModelIndex()])
Parameters:
Return type:

bool

Returns true if there are any items selected in the row with the given parent .

Note

Since Qt 5.15, the default argument for parent is an empty model index.

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.select(index, command)
Parameters:
PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.select(selection, command)
Parameters:
PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.selectedColumns([row=0])
Parameters:

row – int

Return type:

QModelIndexList

Returns the indexes in the given row for columns where all rows are selected.

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.selectedIndexes()
Return type:

QModelIndexList

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.selectedRows([column=0])
Parameters:

column – int

Return type:

QModelIndexList

Returns the indexes in the given column for the rows where all columns are selected.

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.selection()
Return type:

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelection

PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.selectionChanged(selected, deselected)
Parameters:
PySide2.QtCore.QItemSelectionModel.setCurrentIndex(index, command)
Parameters:

Sets the model item index to be the current item, and emits currentChanged() . The current item is used for keyboard navigation and focus indication; it is independent of any selected items, although a selected item can also be the current item.

Depending on the specified command , the index can also become part of the current selection.
