## Detailed Description

ItemDelegate presents a standard view item. It can be used as a delegate in various views and controls, such as ListView and ComboBox.

ItemDelegate inherits its API from AbstractButton. For instance, you can set text, display an icon, and react to clicks using the AbstractButton API.

     ListView {
         id: listView
         width: 160
         height: 240

         model: Qt.fontFamilies()

         delegate: ItemDelegate {
             text: modelData
             width: listView.width
             onClicked: console.log("clicked:", modelData)

             required property string modelData
         }

         ScrollIndicator.vertical: ScrollIndicator { }
     }

## Property Documentation

highlighted : bool

This property holds whether the delegate is highlighted.

A delegate can be highlighted in order to draw the user's attention towards it. It has no effect on keyboard interaction. For example, you can highlight the current item in a ListView using the following code:

     ListView {
         id: listView
         model: 10
         delegate: ItemDelegate {
             text: index
             highlighted: ListView.isCurrentItem

             required property int index

             onClicked: listView.currentIndex = index
         }
     }

The default value is `false`.
