QTableWidget

[rick_st3]

Hi..
Can i create a table with certain cells with a "read only" property...??? i did look up the documentation of QTableWidget but did not find any answers... Any clues anyone...?? thanks...

Each cell of QTableWidget is an object of QTableWidgetItem. You can use setFlags function of QTableWidgetItem class to make the cell read only.

thats exactly what i cannot think of..!! :crying:
I checked the documentation for setting the flag values but the problem is all of them are for enabling them...none of them are to disable them...!! i tried
exht->setFlags(Qt::ItemIsEditable(false)); and
exht->setFlags(Qt::ItemIsEditable = 0); and all possible combinations i could think of(Now i don't know if the code is right or no) but its just not helping...!!!:crying: please help...!!!

Use bitwise operators:


item->setFlags(item->flags() & ~Qt::ItemIsEditable);

Spin Box Delegate Example (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/itemviews-spinboxdelegate.html)

i went through the tutorial...and now i can include a spinbox or a doublespinbox using delegates... but now what i cannot understand is what if i wanted to include the spinbox(or any other widget) in just a few cells(keeping the other cells normal) instead of the all the cells..??? will have to make another delegate to implement the QTableWidgetItem ...?? or is there any way i can apply the delegate to just a few cells instead of making a model of the entire table and then including the delegates..??? please advice... thanks...

There are several ways to achieve that. One extremely simple but not that dynamic way would be to check the column and row number in createEditor(). For example:


QWidget* MyItemDelegate::createEditor(QWidget* parent, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index) const
{
if (index.column() == 3 && index.row() > 2) {
...
return customEditor;
}
return 0; // or return QItemDelegate::createEditor(parent, option, index);
}

A bit more flexible way would be to use user roles to store the information:


tableWidgetItem->setData(Qt::UserRole, true);

QWidget* MyItemDelegate::createEditor(QWidget* parent, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index) const
{
if (index.data(Qt::UserRole).toBool() == true) {
...
return customEditor;
}
return 0; // or return QItemDelegate::createEditor(parent, option, index);
}

You can also consider using item/cell widgets as already suggested, but just be aware that they don't really integrate to the model-view framework. They're just something laid by hand on top of views.
