QStandardItemModel::removeRows() does not work in my use case

Question

Basically I want to delete all rows in my model. I'd prefer to use removeRows(..) instead of clear(), because I want to keep my headers.

I guess I have missed something (docu here), my code is pretty simple:

int c = MainWindow::_viewDataModel->rowCount();
bool r = MainWindow::_viewDataModel->removeRows(0, c);

c e.g. is 4, but r is always false. I have tried 0 and 1 as first index. Using clear() works. The above code has no impact at all.

Answer 1

It is working now. After some testing my findings:

• RemoveRows is very sensitive when there are less rows in the model as I do specify for deletion.
• In my particular case it did happen that I wanted to delete 5 rows when only 4 rows were still in the model. So _viewDataModel->removeRows(0, 4); does not remove anything at all if there are just 3 rows in the model.
• Unlike expected in such as case no deletion took place at all.
• My solution right now is to thoroughly get the model size before deleting.
