# KLinkItemSelectionModel Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.kdeui import *`

Inherits: QItemSelectionModel → QObject

## Detailed Description

Makes it possible to share a selection in multiple views which do not have the same source model

Although multiple views can share the same QItemSelectionModel, the views then need to have the same source model.

If there is a proxy model between the model and one of the views, or different proxy models in each, this class makes it possible to share the selection between the views.

"Sharing a QItemSelectionModel between views on the same model is trivial"

"If a proxy model is used, it is no longer possible to share the QItemSelectionModel directly"

"A KProxyItemSelectionModel can be used to map the selection through the proxy model"

    QAbstractItemModel *model = getModel();

    QSortFilterProxyModel *proxy = new QSortFilterProxyModel();
    proxy->setSourceModel(model);

    QTreeView *view1 = new QTreeView(splitter);
    view1->setModel(model);

    KProxyItemSelectionModel *view2SelectionModel = new KProxyItemSelectionModel( proxy, view1->selectionModel());

    QTreeView *view2 = new QTreeView(splitter);
    // Note that the QAbstractItemModel passed to KProxyItemSelectionModel must be the same as what is used in the view
    view2->setModel(proxy);
    view2->setSelectionModel( view2SelectionModel );

"Arbitrarily complex proxy configurations on the same root model can be used"

    QAbstractItemModel *model = getModel();

    QSortFilterProxyModel *proxy1 = new QSortFilterProxyModel();
    proxy1->setSourceModel(model);
    QSortFilterProxyModel *proxy2 = new QSortFilterProxyModel();
    proxy2->setSourceModel(proxy1);
    QSortFilterProxyModel *proxy3 = new QSortFilterProxyModel();
    proxy3->setSourceModel(proxy2);

    QTreeView *view1 = new QTreeView(splitter);
    view1->setModel(proxy3);

    QSortFilterProxyModel *proxy4 = new QSortFilterProxyModel();
    proxy4->setSourceModel(model);
    QSortFilterProxyModel *proxy5 = new QSortFilterProxyModel();
    proxy5->setSourceModel(proxy4);

    KProxyItemSelectionModel *view2SelectionModel = new KProxyItemSelectionModel( proxy5, view1->selectionModel());

    QTreeView *view2 = new QTreeView(splitter);
    // Note that the QAbstractItemModel passed to KProxyItemSelectionModel must be the same as what is used in the view
    view2->setModel(proxy5);
    view2->setSelectionModel( view2SelectionModel );
