Qt - QVector and Model View - what's the best way to get a custom class from a listView?

I have a custom class called Foo, and I store instances of this class in a vector:

 class Foo{ public: QString name; int second_property; } //... QVector<Foo> foos = {test1, test2, test3}; 

I want to display name property in listView, so i create a model, and then fill it with names:

in .h QStandardItemModel model; QStandardItem* root; QStandardItem* item; in .cpp root = model.invisibleRootItem(); ui->listView->setModel(&model); 

foreach(Foo foo, foos){ item = new QStandardItem(foo.name); root->appendRow(item); } 

Now, after I click the item in the UI, I want to have access to this whole Foo class, and it's properties and methods, so I use loop to find my object:

void MainWindow::on_listView_clicked(const QModelIndex &index) { foreach(Foo foo, foos){ if(foo.name==index.data().toString()){ qDebug()<<"You found the object! Second property: " + foo.second_property); } } } 

And it does work, but I feel it's not very optimal way of doing it(what if two objects have the same name?)

==============

Is there a better solution to this problem? I can ditch QVector or Model/View listView or anything else stupid in this code.


TL;DR:
Basically, I want to have one property of an object(QString name) displayed in a listView (or listWidget), and after i click it, I want to have access to every property and method of its class.

==============
EDIT:

So i made my own model using QAbstractListModel:

 class myOwnModel : public QAbstractListModel { Q_OBJECT public: myOwnModel(const QStringList &strings={""}, QObject *parent = nullptr); int rowCount(const QModelIndex &parent = QModelIndex()) const override; QVariant data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const override; Qt::ItemFlags flags(const QModelIndex &index) const; bool setData(const QModelIndex &index, const QVariant &value, int role = Qt::EditRole); bool insertRows(int position, int rows, const QModelIndex &index = QModelIndex()); private: QStringList stringList; }; 

I still use a loop to fill this model with QVector<Foo> foos name properties:

 myOwnModel* myModel = new myOwnModel(); for(int row=0; row<foos.size(); row++){ myModel->insertRows(row,1); QModelIndex index = myModel->index(row,0); myModel->setData(index,foos[row].name); } ui->view->setModel(myModel); 

And then i still use a loop to get a second property of my desired object:

 void MainWindow::on_view_clicked(const QModelIndex &index) { for(int i=0;i<foos.size();i++){ if(index.data().toString()==foos[i].name){ qDebug() << "You found " << foos[i].name + " and the second property is " << foos[i].second_property; } } } 

I'm duplicating data just like with QStandartItemModel before, right?
I tried to use QAbstractListModel as Konstantin T said, but I don't think I understand Models good enough and used it in a correct way...
