How to highlight an item in QListwidget or Qlistview?

[mkhpad]

Hi all,
I had made a list view which displays a list of items .What i am trying for is i need to highlight the item when an item clicked.I came to know that QListWidget::setSelected is used to highlight the item.

I dont know how and where to use this in my code can anyone please with this?
Here is my code:
#include "mainwindow.h"

#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include<QListWidget>
#include<QHBoxLayout>


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);

QListWidget *listWidget = new QListWidget();
listWidget->setSortingEnabled(true);


listWidget->addItem(new QListWidgetItem("Banana"));
listWidget->addItem(new QListWidgetItem("Apple"));
listWidget->addItem(new QListWidgetItem("Orange"));
listWidget->addItem(new QListWidgetItem("Grapes"));
listWidget->addItem(new QListWidgetItem("Pineapple"));
listWidget->addItem(new QListWidgetItem("Sugarcane"));
listWidget->addItem(new QListWidgetItem("Coconut"));
listWidget->addItem(new QListWidgetItem("Mango"));

QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout();
layout->addWidget(listWidget);


QMainWindow w;
// w.setStyleSheet("* { background-color:rgb(199,147,88); padding: 7px ; color:rgb(255,255,255)}");
w.setCentralWidget(listWidget);
w.showMaximized();




return app.exec();
}

Generally you could use functions for an item, after adding it to the lists item, thusa have you tried calling the function after adding the items ?

According to your example this is useful :

QListWidgetItem::setSelected
