Hi all,

I'm using a QStandardItemModel with QItemDelegate for a custom view where I need to set multiple values for one item when the editor closes.

I had these lines in my delegate's setModelData() method:
        item.setData(editor.player.isMirroredX , EL.MirrorXRole)
        item.setData(editor.player.isMirroredY , EL.MirrorYRole)
item.setData(editor.player.currentFrameNumber() , EL.CurrentFrameRole)


This led to inconsistent and unpredictable results though, e.g. often times the editor.player.currentFrameNumber() was not saved, or it was only saved when one of the other values changed as well.

I had a hunch that the repeated emission of dataChanged was teh culprit, so blocked the model's signals before running the above three lines, then re-enabled the signals and manually emitted model.dataChanged once:

        # temporarily block model signals to prevent multiple emissions of
        # the dataChanged signal which causes unpredictable results
        item.model().blockSignals(True)

        # set values for allnecessary roles
        item.setData(editor.player.isMirroredX , EL.MirrorXRole)
        item.setData(editor.player.isMirroredY , EL.MirrorYRole)
item.setData(editor.player.currentFrameNumber() , EL.CurrentFrameRole)

        # re-enable model's signla emissions
        item.model().blockSignals(False)

# manually emit dataChanged once now that all roles have been changed
        item.model().dataChanged.emit(index, index)


This seems somewhat hacky though, right? Is there a better way that people would recommend to set the value for multiple roles of the same index/item in one go inside the setModelData?

Or is the above legit?

Cheers,
frank
