QTableWidget or QListWidget

[bpetty]

I have a question about which one I should use for my project.

Essentially I am going to obtain a QStringList of tokened data.
When I iterate through this list I am going to tokenize that string into 3 strings.

Graphically speeking, I basically want a list with three columns.
Each iteration adds a row, the column data is what is tokenized from the string.

I have used the QTableWidget so far. I am creating headings for the columns... something I don't think QListWidget will do. I need those. BUT, QTableWidget seems to be "cell" oriented. When I click on a cell, I want the row highlighted. This makes me wonder if it needs to be a QListWidget instead.

Do you guys have any good advice on what I should do?

Essentially when you select a row, there will be a number of functions that you can call... like pressing a button that will delete that row or perform various routines pertaining to the database record represented by that row.

Just set selectionBehavior property to QAbstractItemView::SelectRows.

Thanks a lot Jacek for that advice. I didn't see that option.

I have one last question... if I set my column size to 3, for example, can I store data about that row in column 4?

Yes, but you'll have to hide that fourth column. Better use QTableView and a custom model --- you'll have more control over the data.
