How to select a cell in a QTableView

[JeanC]

Hello,

How do I select a cell in a QTableView?

The only thing I can find is QTableView::setSelection () but it requires a QRect.

I like to specify row and column coordinates, how is that done?

Hello,

Take a look at QItemSelectionModel which is accessible via QAbstractItemView::selectionModel().

Thanks jpn;

However that function takes a QModelIndex as parm. And that bugger does not have a constructor to feed row and column into.



QModelIndex i; // ?
table->selectionModel()->select(i, QItemSelectionModel::Select);

QModelIndex represents a location in the model. See QAbstractItemModel::index():


QModelIndex index = table->model()->index(row, column);

Sorry, It seems I asked the wrong question.

This function indeed selects the cell. Good to know because it wasn't obvious to me.

But I'm searching for the function to set that cell as the current, so when the arrow keys are pushed, the adjacent cell becomes the current.

Ok, then it's QAbstractItemView::setCurrentIndex() :)

Thanks again. Great help here.
