Empty string returned while trying to retrieve the text contents of an element of QListView

I am trying to automate a PyQt based application that uses a QListView in icon mode using Squish Inorder to select a specific item in the view, i need to first identify the text of the item. I am using the below code to do the same

targetList = waitForObject("{name='someListView' type='QListView'}")

object.children(targetList)[11].model().data(object.children(targetList)[11]).toString()

Here object.children(targetList)[11] is of type QModelIndex

But the above code always returns an empty string.

Is there any other way to retrieve the text data

Solution

  • I would rather use QListView API only. So, in case of valid targetList object, i.e. it's found by waitForObject function, I would write:

    targetList = waitForObject("{name='someListView' type='QListView'}")

model = targetList.model()
col = targetList.modelColumn
idx = model.index(11, col)
itemString = idx.data().toString()
