Connecting QLineEdit to SortFilterProxyModel

[Bay]

Hi all, 

          sorry to fill the board again. At the moment I'm trying to implement a filter for my qtreeview. So far I've managed to implement a sorter using the QSortFilterProxyModel and I'm able to sort my list by clicking the headers in my model. However, I've not been successful connecting my QLineEdit to the filter proxy so I'm wondering if I've missed a step. This is the code for my GUI. Any assistance is much appreciated. 

Thank you

Could it be that your are missing a closing character on your signal slot?

QtCore.QObject.connect(self.filterLineEdit, QtCore.SIGNAL('textChanged( QString'),self._proxyModel.setFilterRegExp)

Here
'textChanged( QString'

You are using new style signal slots in some places and old style in others. Why not just use them all the time and avoid the potential typos?

self.textChanged.connect(...)

And....I feel like an absolute idiot for posting....

Hi Justin, 

              thanks again. Right now I'm mostly following the pyqt tutorial from Yasin Uludag which is about 2 and a half years old because it's the closest thing to what I want to achieve. That's probably why I'm using so much old commands and only adding new ones when I want to get a functionality that was not in the tutorial.

Actually it was pretty common for me to mess up the old style signals too, by typing something wrong. So, no worries :-)
