<class name="QAbstractItemDelegate" doc="/**
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;QAbstractItemDelegate.html#QAbstractItemDelegate(com.trolltech.qt.core.QObject)&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QAbstractItemDelegate&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; class is used to display and edit data items from a model.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;QAbstractItemDelegate.html#QAbstractItemDelegate(com.trolltech.qt.core.QObject)&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QAbstractItemDelegate&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; provides the interface and common functionality for delegates in the model/view architecture. Delegates display individual items in views, and handle the editing of model data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;QAbstractItemDelegate.html#QAbstractItemDelegate(com.trolltech.qt.core.QObject)&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QAbstractItemDelegate&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; class is one of the &lt;a href=&quot;%2E%2E/qt4-interview.html#model-view-classes&quot;&gt;Model/View Classes&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and is part of Qt's &lt;a href=&quot;%2E%2E/model-view-programming.html&quot;&gt;model/view framework&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To render an item in a custom way, you must implement &lt;a href=&quot;QAbstractItemDelegate.html#paint(com.trolltech.qt.gui.QPainter, com.trolltech.qt.gui.QStyleOptionViewItem, com.trolltech.qt.core.QModelIndex)&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;paint&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;QAbstractItemDelegate.html#sizeHint(com.trolltech.qt.gui.QStyleOptionViewItem, com.trolltech.qt.core.QModelIndex)&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;sizeHint&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The &lt;a href=&quot;QItemDelegate.html&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;QItemDelegate&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; class provides default implementations for these functions; if you do not need custom rendering, subclass that class instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To provide custom editing, there are two approaches that can be used. The first approach is to create an editor widget and display it directly on top of the item. To do this you must reimplement &lt;a href=&quot;QAbstractItemDelegate.html#createEditor(com.trolltech.qt.gui.QWidget, com.trolltech.qt.gui.QStyleOptionViewItem, com.trolltech.qt.core.QModelIndex)&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;createEditor&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to provide an editor widget, &lt;a href=&quot;QAbstractItemDelegate.html#setEditorData(com.trolltech.qt.gui.QWidget, com.trolltech.qt.core.QModelIndex)&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;setEditorData&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to populate the editor with the data from the model, and &lt;a href=&quot;QAbstractItemDelegate.html#setModelData(com.trolltech.qt.gui.QWidget, com.trolltech.qt.core.QAbstractItemModel, com.trolltech.qt.core.QModelIndex)&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;setModelData&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt; so that the delegate can update the model with data from the editor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The second approach is to handle user events directly by reimplementing &lt;a href=&quot;QAbstractItemDelegate.html#editorEvent(com.trolltech.qt.core.QEvent, com.trolltech.qt.core.QAbstractItemModel, com.trolltech.qt.gui.QStyleOptionViewItem, com.trolltech.qt.core.QModelIndex)&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;editorEvent&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This signal is emitted when the user has finished editing an item using the specified &lt;tt&gt;editor&lt;/tt&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;tt&gt;hint&lt;/tt&gt; provides a way for the delegate to influence how the model and view behave after editing is completed. It indicates to these components what action should be performed next to provide a comfortable editing experience for the user. For example, if &lt;tt&gt;EditNextItem&lt;/tt&gt; is specified, the view should use a delegate to open an editor on the next item in the model.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This enum describes the different hints that the delegate can give to the model and view components to make editing data in a model a comfortable experience for the user.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These hints let the delegate influence the behavior of the view:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;th width=&quot;25%&quot;&gt;Constant&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th width=&quot;15%&quot;&gt;Value&lt;/th&gt;&lt;th width=&quot;60%&quot;&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;EditPreviousItem&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;center&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;2&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;The view should use the delegate to open an editor on the previous item in the view.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that custom views may interpret the concepts of next and previous differently.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following hints are most useful when models are used that cache data, such as those that manipulate date locally in order to increase performance or conserve network bandwidth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;1&quot; cellpadding=&quot;2&quot; cellspacing=&quot;1&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;SubmitModelCache&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;center&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;3&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;If the model caches data, it should write out cached data to the underlying data store.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;RevertModelCache&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td align=&quot;center&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;tt&gt;4&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;If the model caches data, it should discard cached data and replace it with data from the underlying data store.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Although models and views should respond to these hints in appropriate ways, custom components may ignore any or all of them if they are not relevant.&lt;/p&gt;
