# SelectionProxyModel Class Reference

`from PyKDE4.akonadi import *`

Inherits: KSelectionProxyModel → QAbstractProxyModel → QAbstractItemModel → QObject
Subclasses: Akonadi.FavoriteCollectionsModel
Namespace: Akonadi

## Detailed Description

A proxy model used to reference count selected Akonadi.Collection in a view

Only selected Collections will be populated and monitored for changes. Unselected Collections will be ignored.

This model extends KSelectionProxyModel to implement reference counting on the Collections in an EntityTreeModel. The EntityTreeModel must use LazyPopulation to enable SelectionProxyModel to work.

By selecting a Collection, its reference count will be increased. A Collection in the EntityTreeModel which has a reference count of zero will ignore all signals from Monitor about items changed, inserted, removed etc, which can be expensive operations.

Example:

     using namespace Akonadi;

     //                         itemView
     //                             ^
     //                             |
     //                         itemModel
     //                             |
     //                         flatModel
     //                             |
     //   collectionView --> selectionModel
     //           ^                 ^
     //           |                 |
     //  collectionFilter           |
     //            \______________model

     EntityTreeModel *model = new EntityTreeModel( ... );

     // setup collection model
     EntityMimeTypeFilterModel *collectionFilter = new EntityMimeTypeFilterModel( this );
     collectionFilter->setSourceModel( model );
     collectionFilter->addMimeTypeInclusionFilter( Collection.mimeType() );
     collectionFilter->setHeaderGroup( EntityTreeModel.CollectionTreeHeaders );

     // setup collection view
     EntityTreeView *collectionView = new EntityTreeView( this );
     collectionView->setModel( collectionFilter );

     // setup selection model
     SelectionProxyModel *selectionModel = new SelectionProxyModel( collectionView->selectionModel(), this );
     selectionModel->setSourceModel( model );

     // setup item model
     KDescendantsProxyModel *flatModel = new KDescendantsProxyModel( this );
     flatModel->setSourceModel( selectionModel );

     EntityMimeTypeFilterModel *itemModel = new EntityMimeTypeFilterModel( this );
     itemModel->setSourceModel( flatModel );
     itemModel->setHeaderGroup( EntityTreeModel.ItemListHeaders );
     itemModel->addMimeTypeExclusionFilter( Collection.mimeType() );

     EntityListView *itemView = new EntityListView( this );
     itemView->setModel( itemModel );
