[slot] void QTreeView::collapse(const QModelIndex &index)

Collapses the model item specified by the index.

See also collapsed().

[slot] void QTreeView::collapseAll()

Collapses all expanded items.

[protected slot] void QTreeView::columnCountChanged(int oldCount, int newCount)

Informs the tree view that the number of columns in the tree view has changed from oldCount to newCount.

[protected slot] void QTreeView::columnMoved()

This slot is called whenever a column has been moved.

[protected slot] void QTreeView::columnResized(int column, int oldSize, int newSize)
