I have a problem refreshing the data in the list of a combo box in a QTableView.
When you run the program (I have put all the classes in one file for your convenience) it wil create a database and will display a form titled "Articles".
It displays data of the db table 'articles'.
The field with the title 'positions' is related to table 'positions'.
-click button 'Edit positions' and the form with the title 'Positions - edit' will be displayed.
-click button 'Add new position'and a form with the title 'Add new position' will show up.
-enter the name of the new position (e.g. 'Drawer 4') and click ok
-now you see the previous form (with the title 'Positions - edit')
-the new position you entered appears in the list
-click 'Refresh Articles' (refreshes the model ('ArticlesModel') of the first form (the form with the title "Articles"))
-close this form
-now you see the first form (with the title "Articles")
-click on any cell on the field 'positions' and look at the list of the combo box
-you won't see the new position you entered before!
So, this is my problem, that the field with the title 'positions' in the TableView does not update.
If you look in the code you will see that I update TableView 's model (with a Signal - slot mechanism).
How can I update this list of the combo box?
(If you close and rerun the program you see just fine the new position in the list of the combo)
