QTableView delegate

[Jef]

Hi,
I have a column of date in a TableView.
I'd like to display a string ('futur') for a particular Date value (01/01/3000 for example).
I have a look on QItemDelegate, I can change the text color for this special date but not the "displayed string".

Thank's for your advices...
:)

I think you have more or less three options:

1) in your model return that string from data() instead of the date when Qt::DisplayRole is requested

2) use a QIdentityProxyModel in between the model and the view that does that

3) provide a custom delegate that displays the value differently. Easiest way for that is probably to derive from QStyledItemDelegate and override the displayText() method

Cheers,

Thanks for your quick reply,
I'll try your solutions and I'll tell you the result.
:D

Hi,
I have subclassed QStyledItemDelegate and override the displayText() as you propose and it works.
Thanks again



// replace the date 01/01/3000 by "permanent"

#include "permanentdelegate.h"

QString PermanentDelegate::displayText(const QVariant &value, const QLocale &locale) const
{
if (value.toDate() == QDate(3000,1,1)) {
return QStyledItemDelegate::displayText("permanent", locale);
}
else
return QStyledItemDelegate::displayText(value, locale);
}
