qtreewidgetitem addchild to already present item yields nothing

Question

I have two QTreeWidgetItem that are top level. I want to make the second the parent of the first. Calling the first one's addChild(second item) shows no change. How would I accomplish this?

Answer 1

You probably have to remove the item you want to reparent first using takeItem(), and subsequently add it as a child to the new parent item.
