Implementation of right click for Vertical/Horizontal Headers in QTable

Greetings,

I am using Qt 3.3.2.
I am working with QTable.
I find that there is no right clicked signal for the verticalHeader and horizontalHeader for tables.
There is only left clicked signal for the headers.

Now, I would like to know if there is a way to implement right click feature for the vertical and horizontal headers for tables.

Thanks in advance.

Apply an event filter on the QHeader object (you can access it using QTable::verticalHeader() and QTable::horizontalHeader() and process its mousePressEvent.

Hi,
I tried installing event filter on horizontal header for QTable.
Something like this...

Code:

---

class MyTable : public QTable
{
public: 
MyTable(QWidget* parent, const char* name);
}
 
MyTable::MyTable(QWidget* parent, const char* name):QTable(parent,name)
{
 horizontalHeader ()->installEventFilter(this);
}
 
bool MyTable::eventFilter(QObject *pTarget, QEvent *pEvent)
{
        if (pTarget == horizontalHeader()) 
       {
           if (pEvent->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonRelease) 
            {
                QMouseEvent *pMouseEvent = (QMouseEvent *)pEvent;
                if (pMouseEvent->button() == Qt::RightButton) 
                {
                   qWarning(" vertical header right clicked!! ");
                   // do something
                }
            }
        }
 
    return QObject::eventFilter(pTarget, pEvent);
}

When i righclick on horizontal header of my table, it is getting caught!. But, my table is not displaying any information ( data in cells ) that it used to before installing event filter on
horizontal header :(
Some light please! :rolleyes:

Return false (or better yet QTable::eventFilter) from the filter when you process the event so that QHeader can do processing of its own.

And don't return QObject::eventFilter if you don't process the event yourself. You should return the base class implementation, QTable::eventFilter() in this case.

Hi !
It worked!
Thanks :-)
