.SH DESCRIPTION
The QListView class implements a list/tree view.
.PP
It can display and control a hierarchy of multi-column items, and provides the ability to add new items at any time. The user may select one or many items (depending on the SelectionMode) and sort the list in increasing or decreasing order by any column.
.PP
The simplest pattern of use is to create a QListView, add some column headers using addColumn() and create one or more QListViewItem or QCheckListItem objects with the QListView as parent:
.PP
.nf
.br
        QListView * table;
.fi
.PP
.nf
.br
        table->addColumn( "Qualified name" );
.br
        table->addColumn( "Namespace" );
.fi
.PP
.nf
.br
            element = new QListViewItem( table, qName, namespaceURI );
.fi
.PP
Further nodes can be added to the list view object (the root of the tree) or as child nodes to QListViewItems:
.PP
.nf
.br
            for ( int i = 0 ; i < attributes.length(); i++ ) {
.br
                new QListViewItem( element, attributes.qName(i), attributes.uri(i) );
.br
            }
.fi
.PP
(From xml/tagreader-with-features/structureparser.cpp)
.PP
The main setup functions are: <center>.nf
.TS
l - l. Function Action addColumn() Adds a column with a text label and perhaps width. Columns are counted from the left starting with column 0. setColumnWidthMode() Sets the column to be resized automatically or not. setAllColumnsShowFocus() Sets whether items should show keyboard focus using all columns or just column 0. The default is to show focus just using column 0. setRootIsDecorated() Sets whether root items should show open/close decoration to their left. The default is FALSE. setTreeStepSize() Sets how many pixels an item's children are indented relative to their parent. The default is 20. This is mostly a matter of taste. setSorting()
.TE
.fi
</center>
.PP
To handle events such as mouse presses on the list view, derived classes can reimplement the QScrollView functions: contentsMousePressEvent, contentsMouseReleaseEvent, contentsMouseDoubleClickEvent, contentsMouseMoveEvent, contentsDragEnterEvent, contentsDragMoveEvent, contentsDragLeaveEvent, contentsDropEvent, and contentsWheelEvent.
.PP
There are also several functions for mapping between items and coordinates. itemAt() returns the item at a position on-screen, itemRect() returns the rectangle an item occupies on the screen, and itemPos() returns the position of any item (whether it is on-screen or not). firstChild() returns the list view's first item (not necessarily visible on-screen).
.PP
You can iterate over visible items using QListViewItem::itemBelow(); over a list view's top-level items using QListViewItem::firstChild() and QListViewItem::nextSibling(); or every item using a QListViewItemIterator. See the QListViewItem documentation for examples of traversal.
.PP
An item can be moved amongst its siblings using QListViewItem::moveItem(). To move an item in the hierarchy use takeItem() and insertItem(). Item's (and all their child items) are deleted with \fCdelete\fR; to delete all the list view's items use clear().
.PP
There are a variety of selection modes described in the QListView::SelectionMode documentation. The default is Single selection, which you can change using setSelectionMode().
.PP
Because QListView offers multiple selection it must display keyboard focus and selection state separately. Therefore there are functions both to set the selection state of an item (setSelected()) and to set which item displays keyboard focus (setCurrentItem()).
.PP
QListView emits two groups of signals; one group signals changes in selection/focus state and one indicates selection. The first group consists of selectionChanged() (applicable to all list views), selectionChanged(QListViewItem*) (applicable only to a Single selection list view), and currentChanged(QListViewItem*). The second group consists of doubleClicked(QListViewItem*), returnPressed(QListViewItem*), rightButtonClicked(QListViewItem*, const QPoint&, int), etc.
.PP
Note that changing the state of the list view in a slot connected to a list view signal may cause unexpected side effects. If you need to change the list view's state in response to a signal, use a single shot timer with a time out of 0, and connect this timer to a slot that modifies the list view's state.
.PP
In Motif style, QListView deviates fairly strongly from the look and feel of the Motif hierarchical tree view. This is done mostly to provide a usable keyboard interface and to make the list view look better with a white background.
.PP
If selectionMode() is Single (the default) the user can select one item at a time, e.g. by clicking an item with the mouse, see QListView::SelectionMode for details.
.PP
The list view can be navigated either using the mouse or the keyboard. Clicking a \fB-\fR icon closes an item (hides its children) and clicking a \fB+\fR icon opens an item (shows its children). The keyboard controls are these: <center>.nf
.TS
l - l. Keypress Action Home Make the first item current and visible. End Make the last item current and visible. Page Up Make the item above the top visible item current and visible. Page Down Make the item below the bottom visible item current and visible. Up Arrow Make the item above the current item current and visible. Down Arrow Make the item below the current item current and visible. Left Arrow If the current item is closed ( Right Arrow If the current item is closed (
.TE
.fi
</center>
.PP
If the user starts typing letters with the focus in the list view an incremental search will occur. For example if the user types 'd' the current item will change to the first item that begins with the letter 'd'; if they then type 'a', the current item will change to the first item that begins with 'da', and so on. If no item begins with the letters they type the current item doesn't change.
.PP
\fBWarning:\fR The list view assumes ownership of all list view items and will delete them when it does not need them any more.

.SS "Member Type Documentation"
.SH "QListView::RenameAction"
This enum describes whether a rename operation is accepted if the rename editor loses focus without the user pressing Enter.
.TP
\fCQListView::Accept\fR - Rename if Enter is pressed or focus is lost.
.TP
\fCQListView::Reject\fR - Discard the rename operation if focus is lost (and Enter has not been pressed).
.SH "QListView::ResizeMode"
This enum describes how the list view's header adjusts to resize events which affect the width of the list view.
.TP
\fCQListView::NoColumn\fR - The columns do not get resized in resize events.
.TP
\fCQListView::AllColumns\fR - All columns are resized equally to fit the width of the list view.
.TP
\fCQListView::LastColumn\fR - The last column is resized to fit the width of the list view.
.SH "QListView::SelectionMode"
This enumerated type is used by QListView to indicate how it reacts to selection by the user.
.TP
\fCQListView::Single\fR - When the user selects an item, any already-selected item becomes unselected. The user can unselect the selected item by clicking on some empty space within the view.
.TP
\fCQListView::Multi\fR - When the user selects an item in the usual way, the selection status of that item is toggled and the other items are left alone. Also, multiple items can be selected by dragging the mouse while the left mouse button stays pressed.
.TP
\fCQListView::Extended\fR - When the user selects an item in the usual way, the selection is cleared and the new item selected. However, if the user presses the Ctrl key when clicking on an item, the clicked item gets toggled and all other items are left untouched. And if the user presses the Shift key while clicking on an item, all items between the current item and the clicked item get selected or unselected, depending on the state of the clicked item. Also, multiple items can be selected by dragging the mouse over them.
.TP
\fCQListView::NoSelection\fR - Items cannot be selected.
.PP
In other words, Single is a real single-selection list view, Multi a real multi-selection list view, Extended is a list view where users can select multiple items but usually want to select either just one or a range of contiguous items, and NoSelection is a list view where the user can look but not touch.
.SH "QListView::WidthMode"
This enum type describes how the width of a column in the view changes.
.TP
\fCQListView::Manual\fR - the column width does not change automatically.
.TP
\fCQListView::Maximum\fR - the column is automatically sized according to the widths of all items in the column. (Note: The column never shrinks in this case.) This means that the column is always resized to the width of the item with the largest width in the column.
.PP
See also setColumnWidth(), setColumnWidthMode(), and columnWidth().
.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
.SH "QListView::QListView ( TQWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, WFlags f = 0 )"
Constructs a new empty list view called \fIname\fR with parent \fIparent\fR.
.PP
Performance is boosted by modifying the widget flags \fIf\fR so that only part of the QListViewItem children is redrawn. This may be unsuitable for custom QListViewItem classes, in which case WStaticContents and WNoAutoErase should be cleared.
.PP
See also TQWidget::clearWFlags() and TQt::WidgetFlags.
.SH "QListView::~QListView ()"
Destroys the list view, deleting all its items, and frees up all allocated resources.
.SH "int QListView::addColumn ( const TQString & label, int width = -1 )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Adds a \fIwidth\fR pixels wide column with the column header \fIlabel\fR to the list view, and returns the index of the new column.
.PP
All columns apart from the first one are inserted to the right of the existing ones.
.PP
If \fIwidth\fR is negative, the new column's WidthMode is set to Maximum instead of Manual.
.PP
See also setColumnText(), setColumnWidth(), and setColumnWidthMode().
.PP
Examples:
.)l addressbook/centralwidget.cpp, checklists/checklists.cpp, dirview/main.cpp, fileiconview/mainwindow.cpp, listviews/listviews.cpp, and qdir/qdir.cpp.
.SH "int QListView::addColumn ( const TQIconSet & iconset, const TQString & label, int width = -1 )\fC [virtual]\fR"
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
.PP
Adds a \fIwidth\fR pixels wide new column with the header \fIlabel\fR and the \fIiconset\fR to the list view, and returns the index of the column.
.PP
If \fIwidth\fR is negative, the new column's WidthMode is set to Maximum, and to Manual otherwise.
.PP
See also setColumnText(), setColumnWidth(), and setColumnWidthMode().
.SH "void QListView::adjustColumn ( int col )\fC [slot]\fR"
Adjusts the column \fIcol\fR to its preferred width
.SH "bool QListView::allColumnsShowFocus () const"
Returns TRUE if items should show keyboard focus using all columns; otherwise returns FALSE. See the "allColumnsShowFocus" property for details.
.SH "int QListView::childCount () const"
Returns the number of parentless (top-level) QListViewItem objects in this QListView. See the "childCount" property for details.
.SH "void QListView::clear ()\fC [virtual slot]\fR"
Removes and deletes all the items in this list view and triggers an update.
.PP
Note that the currentChanged() signal is not emitted when this slot is invoked.
.PP
See also triggerUpdate().
.PP
Examples:
.)l addressbook/centralwidget.cpp, checklists/checklists.cpp, listviews/listviews.cpp, and qutlook/centralwidget.cpp.
.SH "void QListView::clearSelection ()\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets all the items to be not selected, updates the list view as necessary, and emits the selectionChanged() signals. Note that for Multi selection list views this function needs to iterate over \fIall\fR items.
.PP
See also setSelected() and multiSelection.
.PP
Example: addressbook/centralwidget.cpp.
.SH "void QListView::clicked ( QListViewItem * item )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted whenever the user clicks (mouse pressed \fIand\fR mouse released) in the list view. \fIitem\fR is the clicked list view item, or 0 if the user didn't click on an item.
.PP
\fBWarning:\fR Do not delete any QListViewItem objects in slots connected to this signal.
.PP
Example: addressbook/centralwidget.cpp.
.SH "void QListView::clicked ( QListViewItem * item, const QPoint & pnt, int c )\fC [signal]\fR"
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
.PP
This signal is emitted whenever the user clicks (mouse pressed \fIand\fR mouse released) in the list view. \fIitem\fR is the clicked list view item, or 0 if the user didn't click on an item. \fIpnt\fR is the position where the user has clicked in global coordinates. If \fIitem\fR is not 0, \fIc\fR is the list view column into which the user pressed; if \fIitem\fR is 0 \fIc\fR's value is undefined.
.PP
\fBWarning:\fR Do not delete any QListViewItem objects in slots connected to this signal.
.SH "void QListView::collapsed ( QListViewItem * item )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted when the \fIitem\fR has been collapsed, i.e. when the children of \fIitem\fR are hidden.
.PP
See also setOpen() and expanded().

.SH "void QListView::contextMenuRequested ( QListViewItem * item, const QPoint & pos, int col )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted when the user invokes a context menu with the right mouse button or with special system keys. If the keyboard was used \fIitem\fR is the current item; if the mouse was used, \fIitem\fR is the item under the mouse pointer or 0 if there is no item under the mouse pointer. If no item is clicked, the column index emitted is -1.
.PP
\fIpos\fR is the position for the context menu in the global coordinate system.
.PP
\fIcol\fR is the column on which the user pressed, or -1 if the signal was triggered by a key event.
.PP
Example: listviews/listviews.cpp.
.SH "void QListView::currentChanged ( QListViewItem * )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted whenever the current item has changed (normally after the screen update). The current item is the item responsible for indicating keyboard focus.
.PP
The argument is the newly current item, or 0 if the change made no item current. This can happen, for example, if all items in the list view are deleted.
.PP
\fBWarning:\fR Do not delete any QListViewItem objects in slots connected to this signal.
.PP
See also setCurrentItem() and currentItem().
.PP
Example: listviews/listviews.cpp.
.SH "QListViewItem * QListView::currentItem () const"
Returns the current item, or 0 if there isn't one.
.PP

.PP
Examples:
.)l addressbook/centralwidget.cpp, listviews/listviews.cpp, and qutlook/centralwidget.cpp.
.SH "RenameAction QListView::defaultRenameAction () const"
Returns what action to perform when the editor loses focus during renaming. See the "defaultRenameAction" property for details.
.SH "void QListView::doAutoScroll ()\fC [protected slot]\fR"
This slot handles auto-scrolling when the mouse button is pressed and the mouse is outside the widget.
.SH "void QListView::doubleClicked ( QListViewItem *, const QPoint &, int )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted whenever an item is double-clicked. It's emitted on the second button press, not the second button release. The arguments are the relevant QListViewItem (may be 0), the point in global coordinates and the relevant column (or -1 if the click was outside the list).
.PP
\fBWarning:\fR Do not delete any QListViewItem objects in slots connected to this signal.
.SH "void QListView::doubleClicked ( QListViewItem * item )\fC [signal]\fR"
\fBThis function is obsolete.\fR It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code. (use doubleClicked( QListViewItem *, const QPoint&, int ))
.PP
This signal is emitted whenever an item is double-clicked. It's emitted on the second button press, not the second button release. \fIitem\fR is the list view item on which the user did the double-click.
.SH "QDragObject * QListView::dragObject ()\fC [virtual protected]\fR"
If the user presses the mouse on an item and starts moving the mouse, and the item allow dragging (see QListViewItem::setDragEnabled()), this function is called to get a drag object and a drag is started unless dragObject() returns 0.
.PP
By default this function returns 0. You should reimplement it and create a QDragObject depending on the selected items.
.SH "void QListView::drawContentsOffset ( QPainter * p, int ox, int oy, int cx, int cy, int cw, int ch )\fC [virtual protected]\fR"
Calls QListViewItem::paintCell() and QListViewItem::paintBranches() as necessary for all list view items that require repainting in the \fIcw\fR pixels wide and \fIch\fR pixels high bounding rectangle starting at position \fIcx\fR, \fIcy\fR with offset \fIox\fR, \fIoy\fR. Uses the painter \fIp\fR.
.PP
Reimplemented from QScrollView.
.SH "void QListView::dropped ( QDropEvent * e )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted, when a drop event occurred on the viewport (not onto an item).
.PP
\fIe\fR provides all the information about the drop.
.SH "void QListView::ensureItemVisible ( const QListViewItem * i )"
Ensures that item \fIi\fR is visible, scrolling the list view vertically if necessary and opening (expanding) any parent items if this is required to show the item.
.PP
See also itemRect() and QScrollView::ensureVisible().
.SH "bool QListView::eventFilter ( TQObject * o, QEvent * e )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Redirects the event \fIe\fR relating to object \fIo\fR, for the viewport to mousePressEvent(), keyPressEvent() and friends.
.PP
Reimplemented from QScrollView.
.SH "void QListView::expanded ( QListViewItem * item )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted when \fIitem\fR has been expanded, i.e. when the children of \fIitem\fR are shown.
.PP
See also setOpen() and collapsed().
.SH "QListViewItem * QListView::findItem ( const TQString & text, int column, ComparisonFlags compare = ExactMatch | CaseSensitive ) const"
Finds the first list view item in column \fIcolumn\fR, that matches \fItext\fR and returns the item, or returns 0 of no such item could be found. The search starts from the current item if the current item exists, otherwise it starts from the first list view item. After reaching the last item the search continues from the first item. Pass OR-ed together TQt::StringComparisonMode values in the \fIcompare\fR flag, to control how the matching is performed. The default comparison mode is case-sensitive, exact match.
.SH "QListViewItem * QListView::firstChild () const"
Returns the first item in this QListView. Returns 0 if there is no first item.
.PP
A list view's items can be traversed using firstChild() and nextSibling() or using a QListViewItemIterator.
.PP
See also itemAt(), QListViewItem::itemBelow(), and QListViewItem::itemAbove().
.PP
Examples:
.)l addressbook/centralwidget.cpp and listviews/listviews.cpp.
.SH "QHeader * QListView::header () const"
Returns the QHeader object that manages this list view's columns. Please don't modify the header behind the list view's back.
.PP
You may safely call QHeader::setClickEnabled(), QHeader::setResizeEnabled(), QHeader::setMovingEnabled(), QHeader::hide() and all the const QHeader functions.
.PP
Examples:
.)l listviews/listviews.cpp and qdir/qdir.cpp.
.SH "void QListView::hideColumn ( int column )"
Hides the column specified at \fIcolumn\fR. This is a convenience function that calls setColumnWidth( \fIcolumn\fR, 0 ).
.PP
Note: The user may still be able to resize the hidden column using the header handles. To prevent this, call setResizeEnabled(FALSE, \fIcolumn\fR) on the list views header.
.PP
See also setColumnWidth().
.SH "void QListView::insertItem ( QListViewItem * i )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Inserts item \fIi\fR into the list view as a top-level item. You do not need to call this unless you've called takeItem(\fIi\fR) or QListViewItem::takeItem(\fIi\fR) and need to reinsert \fIi\fR elsewhere.
.PP
See also QListViewItem::takeItem() and takeItem().
.SH "void QListView::invertSelection ()\fC [virtual slot]\fR"
Inverts the selection. Only works in Multi and Extended selection modes.
.SH "bool QListView::isMultiSelection () const"
Returns TRUE if the list view is in multi-selection or extended-selection mode; otherwise returns FALSE. See the "multiSelection" property for details.
.SH "bool QListView::isOpen ( const QListViewItem * item ) const"
Identical to \fIitem\fR->isOpen(). Provided for completeness.
.PP
See also setOpen().
.SH "bool QListView::isRenaming () const"
Returns TRUE if an item is being renamed; otherwise returns FALSE.
.SH "bool QListView::isSelected ( const QListViewItem * i ) const"
Returns TRUE if the list view item \fIi\fR is selected; otherwise returns FALSE.
.PP
See also QListViewItem::isSelected().
.SH "QListViewItem * QListView::itemAt ( const QPoint & viewPos ) const"
Returns the list view item at \fIviewPos\fR. Note that \fIviewPos\fR is in the viewport()'s coordinate system, not in the list view's own, much larger, coordinate system.
.PP
itemAt() returns 0 if there is no such item.
.PP
Note that you also get the pointer to the item if \fIviewPos\fR points to the root decoration (see setRootIsDecorated()) of the item. To check whether or not \fIviewPos\fR is on the root decoration of the item, you can do something like this:
.PP
.nf
.br
    QListViewItem *i = itemAt( p );
.br
    if ( i ) {
.br
        if ( p.x() > header()->sectionPos( header()->mapToIndex( 0 ) ) +
.br
                treeStepSize() * ( i->depth() + ( rootIsDecorated() ? 1 : 0) ) + itemMargin() ||
.br
                p.x() < header()->sectionPos( header()->mapToIndex( 0 ) ) ) {
.br
            ; // p is not on root decoration
.br
        else
.br
            ; // p is on the root decoration
.br
    }
.br
.fi
.PP
This might be interesting if you use this function to find out where the user clicked and if you want to start a drag (which you do not want to do if the user clicked onto the root decoration of an item).
.PP
See also itemPos(), itemRect(), and viewportToContents().
.SH "int QListView::itemMargin () const"
Returns the advisory item margin that list items may use. See the "itemMargin" property for details.
.SH "int QListView::itemPos ( const QListViewItem * item )"
Returns the y-coordinate of \fIitem\fR in the list view's coordinate system. This function is normally much slower than itemAt() but it works for all items, whereas itemAt() normally works only for items on the screen.
.PP
This is a thin wrapper around QListViewItem::itemPos().
.PP
See also itemAt() and itemRect().
.SH "QRect QListView::itemRect ( const QListViewItem * i ) const"
Returns the rectangle on the screen that item \fIi\fR occupies in viewport()'s coordinates, or an invalid rectangle if \fIi\fR is 0 or is not currently visible.
.PP
The rectangle returned does not include any children of the rectangle (i.e. it uses QListViewItem::height(), rather than QListViewItem::totalHeight()). If you want the rectangle to include children you can use something like this:
.PP
.nf
.br
    QRect r( listView->itemRect( item ) );
.br
    r.setHeight( (QCOORD)(TQMIN( item->totalHeight(),
.br
                                listView->viewport->height() - r.y() ) ) )
.br
.fi
.PP
Note the way it avoids too-high rectangles. totalHeight() can be much larger than the window system's coordinate system allows.
.PP
itemRect() is comparatively slow. It's best to call it only for items that are probably on-screen.
.SH "void QListView::itemRenamed ( QListViewItem * item, int col, const TQString & text )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted when \fIitem\fR has been renamed to \fItext\fR, e.g. by in in-place renaming, in column \fIcol\fR.
.PP
See also QListViewItem::setRenameEnabled().
.SH "void QListView::itemRenamed ( QListViewItem * item, int col )\fC [signal]\fR"
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
.PP
This signal is emitted when \fIitem\fR has been renamed, e.g. by in-place renaming, in column \fIcol\fR.
.PP
See also QListViewItem::setRenameEnabled().
.SH "QListViewItem * QListView::lastItem () const"
Returns the last item in the list view tree. Returns 0 if there are no items in the QListView.
.PP
This function is slow because it traverses the entire tree to find the last item.
.SH "void QListView::mouseButtonClicked ( int button, QListViewItem * item, const QPoint & pos, int c )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted whenever the user clicks (mouse pressed \fIand\fR mouse released) in the list view at position \fIpos\fR. \fIbutton\fR is the mouse button that the user pressed, \fIitem\fR is the clicked list view item or 0 if the user didn't click on an item. If \fIitem\fR is not 0, \fIc\fR is the list view column into which the user pressed; if \fIitem\fR is 0 \fIc\fR's value is undefined.
.PP
\fBWarning:\fR Do not delete any QListViewItem objects in slots connected to this signal.
.SH "void QListView::mouseButtonPressed ( int button, QListViewItem * item, const QPoint & pos, int c )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted whenever the user pressed the mouse button in the list view at position \fIpos\fR. \fIbutton\fR is the mouse button which the user pressed, \fIitem\fR is the pressed list view item or 0 if the user didn't press on an item. If \fIitem\fR is not 0, \fIc\fR is the list view column into which the user pressed; if \fIitem\fR is 0 \fIc\fR's value is undefined.
.PP
\fBWarning:\fR Do not delete any QListViewItem objects in slots connected to this signal.
.SH "void QListView::onItem ( QListViewItem * i )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted when the user moves the mouse cursor onto item \fIi\fR, similar to the TQWidget::enterEvent() function.
.SH "void QListView::onViewport ()\fC [signal]\fR"

.SH "void QListView::paintEmptyArea ( QPainter * p, const QRect & rect )\fC [virtual protected]\fR"
Paints \fIrect\fR so that it looks like empty background using painter \fIp\fR. \fIrect\fR is in widget coordinates, ready to be fed to \fIp\fR.
.PP
The default function fills \fIrect\fR with the viewport()->backgroundBrush().
.SH "void QListView::pressed ( QListViewItem * item )\fC [signal]\fR"
This signal is emitted whenever the user presses the mouse button in a list view. \fIitem\fR is the list view item on which the user pressed the mouse button, or 0 if the user didn't press the mouse on an item.
.PP
\fBWarning:\fR Do not delete any QListViewItem objects in slots connected to this signal.
.SH "void QListView::pressed ( QListViewItem * item, const QPoint & pnt, int c )\fC [signal]\fR"
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
.PP
This signal is emitted whenever the user presses the mouse button in a list view. \fIitem\fR is the list view item on which the user pressed the mouse button, or 0 if the user didn't press the mouse on an item. \fIpnt\fR is the position of the mouse cursor in global coordinates, and \fIc\fR is the column where the mouse cursor was when the user pressed the mouse button.
.PP
\fBWarning:\fR Do not delete any QListViewItem objects in slots connected to this signal.
.SH "void QListView::removeColumn ( int index )\fC [virtual]\fR"
