How To Apply Scroll Only for few columns of QTableview

[RameshNani]

Hi ,

I have to apply scroll for few columns in QTableView , I want to except some columns that are in one corner of QTableview , means i would like to left scroll from first 3 columns . Could anyone help us . I need it so badly ...

[ChrisW67]

You cannot do this with a single function call. Take a look at the Frozen Column example for a way to "fake" it.

[RameshNani]

I tried same code but the scroll applied for all columns .

Added after 1 27 minutes:

I tried with two QTableviews , I was hide columns which are not want to freeze in 1st tableview , and in second table view I was hide freeze columns except all .
I attached both tableviews into QHBoxLayout . and I applied horizontal scroll only for 2nd tableview . But , My Problem is , QHBoxLayout split the space for two tableviews equally , I set SizePolicy Preferred , But still i have some space between two tableviews , How can I Manage this .
I am following this way because , I have added The above layout into QVBoxLayout , and second widget in this QVBoxLayout as Onother Tableview the Horizontal scroll of above table view depends on below scroll . I was Hide the above tableview scroll and when i move bottom tableview scroll am moving above tableview columns . So Please anyone Help Us .

[ChrisW67]

So your problem is really, "How do I fix the width of a table widget in a horizontal box layout?"
What have you actually tried? What does your code look like? What does it do?

BTW, it sounds like putting all the widgets in a grid layout would work well for you.

[RameshNani]

I am doing like below for freeze some columns from start ,

QTableview *childview = new QTableview();
childview ->horizantalscrollbar()->hide()
QTableview *FrozenchildView= new QTableView();
FrozenchildView->horizantalscrollbar()->hide();
FrozenchildView->verticalscrollbar()->hide();
FrozenchildView->setsizepolicy(QSizepolicy::Preffered,QSizepolicy: :Minimum)
QTableView * sumView= new QTableView();
QTableView *FrozenSumView=new QTableView();
model1=new qsqlquerymodel();
model2=new qsqlquerymodel();
QSortfilterproxymodel *proxy=new qsortfilterproxymodel();
model1->setQuery(sql);
proxy->setsourcemodel(model1);
childview->setmodel(proxy);
FrozenchildView->setmodel(proxy);
model2->setquery(sql);
qsortfilterproxymodel *sumproxy=new qsortfilterproxymodel();
sumproxy->setsourcemodel(model2);
sumView->setmodel(sumproxy);
FrozenSumView>setmodel(sumproxy);
QHBoxLayout *hlout = new QHBoxLayout();
hlout ->addwidget(FrozenchildView);
hlout ->addwidget(childView);
QHboxLayout *hloutsum = new QHboxLayout();
hloutsum->addwidget(FrozenSumView);
hloutsum->addwidget(sumView);
QVBoxlayout *vlot = new QVBoxlayout();
vlot ->addLayout(hlout);
vlot ->addLayout(hloutsum);
connect(sumView->horizontalScrollBar(), SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)),childView->horizontalScrollBar(), SLOT(setValue(int)));
connect(childView->verticalScrollBar(), SIGNAL(valueChanged(int)),FrozenchildView->verticalScrollBar(), SLOT(setValue(int)));
//In FrozenchildView I am showing only Frozen Columns, Remaining all columns are Hiden , and in childview am hiding FrozenColumns and showing all other columns.
//I was applied same for sumview,frozensumview .

These are my Functionalities , But doing like above the the layout had some space between two tableviews . Could any one help us .image.jpg
I Attached Screen shot , Please find it .

[RameshNani]

If any Questions on above context , Please query to me , am doing like above .

[ChrisW67]

The spacing between widgets in a horizontal layout is contolled by QLayout::setSpacing() and around the outside of the layout by QLayout::setContentsMargins()

[RameshNani]

We only able to apply setspacing for each widget in a layout right right ? Is there any way to apply directly on layout to set space between widgets with in that layout ?

[anda_skoa]

Is there any way to apply directly on layout to set space between widgets with in that layout ?

Maybe you should read comment #7 again.

Hi ,

Now am able to freez columns , But i have one issue , that is when i use customized header the columns are freezing but the headers are moving . could any one help me . i need it very badly .

am using customized tableview frozentablewidget example code .

[ChrisW67]

Since the Frozen Column example headers work in the expected way you should probably study that.

[RameshNani]

HI , The frozentableview columns are frozen , but my cusom header override frozentableview header section , thats why the columns are moving , but i don't have any idea to distinguish frozentableview and custom header sections . the custom header painting section every time .

[ChrisW67]

The Frozen Column example does just that: the headers of the frozen column do not move when the rest of the table is scrolled right. Simply set your custom QHeaderView as the horizontal header of both table views.

[RameshNani]

Hi , In my custom Header i am painting the sections .

for the frozen column also we are getting header column , but this header column override with customheaderview column , so it's moving , is there any way to prevent the painting perticular section in QHeaderView . when i pass same customheader to frozen table widget and when i use this one for frozentableview the maintableview columns also hiding . so other than this i created new custom header object and given for frozen tableview also but i have same issue . i need it very urgently . could any one help me .

Hi Could you please review my code

where i am doing wrong .. I Need it today itself . Please help me anyone .

[ChrisW67]

If you do not apply custom headers do the standard headers work as you expect they should?

If so, then the problem is in your header code and not the frozen column code.

[RameshNani]

Yeah , with this custom header i am facing this issue . when i use normal header view it's working fine , how could i modify my custom header , please help me , i need both functionalities .

[ChrisW67]

Here are possible problems.:

• If the rect for the section being painted does not contain the cursor then you paint the section regardless of whether it is visible or not. Without delving into the Qt code I do not know if paintsection is called only for visible sections or not, but this is worth checking.
• If the rect contains the pointer then you paint the default visual for the cell and then paint over it. You then paint the next/previous buttons based on whether the next logical index is visible or not. This is not the same as checking whether there is another visible column to the left or right.

Perhaps if you posted a screen shot of the problem it would be more apparent where the problem lay.

Hi ,

When i hide custom header am able to see frozen columns headers , but when i remove hide of custom header , am unable to see frozen headers , the frozen headers also overridden from custom header . even when i set some header sections hide in custom headers also the headers are painted , i don't know why they are painted , it might happen due to am not checking hidden sections in custom header paint section . I posted my code as it is . Could you show me any solution for this issue .

I Attached Screen shots of my issue . Before horizontal scroll and after scroll , the 1st two columns are frozen but the headers are moving unless of freez with columns by the reason of custom header .

It looks like your base table custom header is stacked on top of the frozen column overlay's headers.

Move the call to set the horizontal header of the base table view into the FreezeTableWidget init() routine (it is in you MainWindow at the moment).
Move the call to set the horizontal header of the frozen column view into the FreezeTableWidget init() routine.
Apply both custom headers before you call "viewport()->stackUnder(frozenTableView);" to make sure the base table is underneat the frozen column overlay.

Help?
