QTreeView Checkboxes

QTreeView Checkboxes

In PyQt, you can create a QTreeView with checkboxes using the QStandardItemModel class to manage the data and the Qt.CheckStateRole role to enable checkboxes. Here's an example:

import sys from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QMainWindow, QTreeView, QStandardItemModel, QStandardItem from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt class TreeViewWithCheckboxes(QMainWindow): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.initUI() def initUI(self): self.setGeometry(100, 100, 400, 300) self.setWindowTitle('QTreeView with Checkboxes') # Create a QTreeView widget treeView = QTreeView(self) treeView.setGeometry(10, 10, 380, 280) # Create a QStandardItemModel model = QStandardItemModel() treeView.setModel(model) # Create items with checkboxes item1 = QStandardItem("Item 1") item1.setCheckable(True) item1.setCheckState(Qt.Unchecked) # Initial state: unchecked item2 = QStandardItem("Item 2") item2.setCheckable(True) item2.setCheckState(Qt.Unchecked) item3 = QStandardItem("Item 3") item3.setCheckable(True) item3.setCheckState(Qt.Unchecked) # Add items to the model model.appendRow([item1, item2, item3]) self.show() def main(): app = QApplication(sys.argv) ex = TreeViewWithCheckboxes() sys.exit(app.exec_()) if __name__ == '__main__': main() 

In this example:

  1. We create a PyQt5 application and a main window.

  2. Inside the main window, we create a QTreeView widget to display the tree view.

  3. We create a QStandardItemModel (model) to manage the data for the tree view.

  4. We create QStandardItem objects (item1, item2, item3) and set them as checkable using setCheckable(True).

  5. We set the initial check state for each item using setCheckState(Qt.Unchecked).

  6. We add these items to the model using model.appendRow().

This code creates a simple QTreeView with checkboxes that you can interact with. You can customize it further to suit your application's needs by adding more items, handling item changes, and connecting signals to slots for more complex behavior.

Examples
