Question

So I have an AbstractItemModel and after I click the Load button, I want the selected item to change colours and boldness. How do I do that?

I tried something like QtCore.QVariant(QtGui.QBrush(QtGui.QColor(QtCore.Qt.red))) but none of my items changed colour.

Thanks

AbstractItemModel is just that: Abstract. It is meant to be subclasses, which means you would have some custom type of implementation.

But if you were using QStandardItems, you can just set its foreground color, and its font:

item.setForeground(QtGui.QColor(QtCore.Qt.red))
font = item.font()
font.setBold(True)
item.setFont(font)
