Changing data in view?

[stephen-bunn]

Could you give a quick example on how to change the data within the view after creating the widget?
Currently setting the model's data and calling update doesn't work for me.

hey @ritashugisha

there isn't a simple example of this since (unfortunately) i didn't design the library for editing.

here's what i think might work:

• update view._buf
• update view.model._buf
• call view.model._emit_data_changed(start-index, end-index)

as you can see, you have to reach into some members that aren't meant to be public. i'd be interested to hear if you're able to get this to work!

I never tried to get this to work. But I'm thinking your suggestion should get people close to a solution.
