<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QModelIndex class is used to locate data in a data model.</p>
<p>This class is used as an index into item models derived from <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html">QAbstractItemModel</a>. The index is used by item views, delegates, and selection models to locate an item in the model.</p>
<p>New QModelIndex objects are created by the model using the <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#createIndex">QAbstractItemModel::createIndex</a>() function. An <i>invalid</i> model index can be constructed with the QModelIndex constructor. Invalid indexes are often used as parent indexes when referring to top-level items in a model.</p>
<p>Model indexes refer to items in models, and contain all the information required to specify their locations in those models. Each index is located in a given row and column, and may have a parent index; use <a href="qmodelindex.html#row">row</a>(), <a href="qmodelindex.html#column">column</a>(), and <a href="qmodelindex.html#parent">parent</a>() to obtain this information. Each top-level item in a model is represented by a model index that does not have a parent index - in this case, <a href="qmodelindex.html#parent">parent</a>() will return an invalid model index, equivalent to an index constructed with the zero argument form of the <a href="qmodelindex.html#QModelIndex">QModelIndex</a>() constructor.</p>
<p>To obtain a model index that refers to an existing item in a model, call <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html#index">QAbstractItemModel::index</a>() with the required row and column values, and the model index of the parent. When referring to top-level items in a model, supply <a href="qmodelindex.html#QModelIndex">QModelIndex</a>() as the parent index.</p>
<p>The <a href="qmodelindex.html#model">model</a>() function returns the model that the index references as a <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html">QAbstractItemModel</a>. The <a href="qmodelindex.html#child">child</a>() function is used to examine the items held beneath the index in the model. The <a href="qmodelindex.html#sibling">sibling</a>() function allows you to traverse items in the model on the same level as the index.</p>
<p>Model indexes can become invalid over time so they should be used immediately and then discarded. If you need to keep a model index over time use a <a href="qpersistentmodelindex.html">QPersistentModelIndex</a>.</p>
<p>See also <a href="model-view-programming.html">Model/View Programming</a>, <a href="qpersistentmodelindex.html">QPersistentModelIndex</a>, and <a href="qabstractitemmodel.html">QAbstractItemModel</a>.</p>
