Get FreeCAD object associated with QTreeWidgetItem

[paulo_cmv]

Im working in one macro and i need to walk the treview and manipulate their objects (Part, Body, groups, etc).
I cant find how to get the object for a given treeview item. Text, data(0,0) and data(0,2) appears to be the label but label is not unique.

As strange as it can be, FreeCAD enforces uniqueness of labels too.

So theres no "more correct" way?
Must i use ActiveDocument.getObjectsByLabel()[0]?
Theres no way to get internal name from treeview?

That is not always true. The user can disable the enforcing of uniqueness in the Preferences.

My mistake. Thanks for pointing out my ignorance.

I found back this macro I already wrote : https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... et#p446393
I didn't test again, but .text(0) seems to hold the name.

The macro is looking for label

openBrain said just before code, that "That's all my mistake. I didn't pay attention that the text in the tree is the Label, while the function is searching for the Name.
Here is the fix :"

Code: Select all

 
     def recFindChild(docitem, objname):
        for i in range(0, docitem.childCount()):
            if docitem.child(i).text(0) == objname: <-- objname is object.Label passed as argument
            ...
 
    obj = object.Label
    ...
            objitem = recFindChild(docitem, obj)
