QTableWidget

hey there i am trying to get values from my table entered by the user - but i am still having trouble getting the users data. my table is initially filled with all zero's but when the user enters their own number the only number that i get back is the original number which was zero. ive tried using teh following code to get a number from a particluar cell but i only get back zero?? any idea's....

int multiply = demands->item(2,1)->data(Qt::DisplayRole).toInt();

demands is the name of my table and i just want the number the user enters at (2,1) to be stored inside multiply.

What does this output?

Code:

---

qDebug() << demands->item(2,1)->data(Qt::DisplayRole);

---

(you need to add #include <QtDebug> on the top of your file and "CONFIG += debug" to .pro file)

i tried adding in that line - where should the output from qDebug appear?? i put that line of code in the same function as where the table got created - is that the correct place to put that piece of code? or should i create a seperate function, like a slot or something??

How about this:

QTableWidgetItem::text()

i cant get qDebug to output anywhere - i dont see it...is it meant to appear onto the command prompt??

On the console, if you use windows, you have to add "CONFIG += console" to your .pro file.

Put it just above the "int multiply = ..." line.

hey there i am still trying to obtain the users data from my QTableWidget. i tried using the following line

int multiply = demands->item(2,1)->data(Qt::DisplayRole).toInt();

but it only gives the data that was originally there before the user enters the new data and not afterwards...do i have to add an event filter of some kind so that i only record the input - once the user has clicked on a cell and modifed it???

How do you change the value in your model? If data() retrieves an "old" value, it means there is no "new" value. It looks like editing the item failed or was not completed. Could you please show the editing code?

Please, don't start more than one thread on the same problem.

oh rite ok heres my code for that tab then which the table is inserted in:

Code:

DemandsTab:DemandsTab(const QFileInfo &fileInfo, QWidget *parent)
    : QWidget(parent)
{
 
 
      QLabel *testme = new QLabel(tr("Please enter the traffic demands associated with each link below test this out:") ) ;
 
	QTableWidget *demands = new QTableWidget(this) ;
 
	demands->setRowCount(10);
	demands->setColumnCount(10);
 
	int row = demands->rowCount();
	int column = demands->columnCount();
	array = new int{MAXPOINTS};
 
 
	QTableWidgetItem *flagged = new QTableWidgetItem(" * ") ;
	flagged->setFlags(flagged->flags()& ~Qt::ItemIsEditable);
 
 
 
	for(int i =0; i <10; i++)
	{ 
		for(int j = 0; j<10; j++)
		{     
		 demands->setItem(j,i, new QTableWidgetItem("0"));
		}
	}
 
               for(int k = 0; k<10;k++)
	{
		 QTableWidgetItem *flagged = new QTableWidgetItem("*");
	  	 flagged->setFlags(flagged->flags()& ~Qt:ItemIsEditable);
	  	 demands->setItem(k,k,flagged); 
		 demands->horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode(k,HeaderView:Stretch) ;
 
	}
 
    /*int multiply = demands->item(2,1)->data(Qt::DisplayRole).toInt();	
	 qDebug("Value of the number is %d", multiply);*/ 
 
	 //int item = QVariant(QTableWidgetItem::data(int multiply));
	//item->setData(int multiply, int QVariant::toint(bool *ok = 0));
	//demands->horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode(0, QHeaderView::Stretch);
 
	qDebug()<<demands->item(2,1)->data(Qt::DisplayRole);
 
 
	QTableWidgetItem *flagers = new QTableWidgetItem({"23")};
	demands->setItem(2,1,flagers);
 
	array[0] = demands->item(2,1)->data(Qt::DisplayRole).toInt(); 
 
 
	QDataStream & operator<<(QDataStream & out, const QTableWidgetItem & flagers);
 
 
 
	QVBoxLayout *mainLayout = new QVBoxLayout;
	mainLayout->addWidget(testme) ;
	mainLayout->addWidget(demands) ;
               setLayout(mainLayout);
}

i have a seperate function where i output the number for outputTable( ) basically its just this:

display->setText(QString::number(array[0]));

Where do you change that array[0]? Only in constructor?

PS. Please, use the code tags to make your code readable.

yeah only in the demandsTab function. the array is a global array....i kno i shouldnt do it but its the only way i can seem to get the data over into the other function.

But if you change it only in the constructor, it will have always the same value.

You can use signals instead.

could you give me an example please of how a signal is used?

Start from here: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.1/tutorial-t1.html

ahh ok thanks - ur help is much apreciated

hey there i was trying to use the cellClicked signal bu the debug mode error message says that cellClicked() SIGNAL doesnt exist. i am also trying to pass in my table but it again says the SLOT doesnt exist??

my code for the connect is below:

Code:

---

connect(demands,SIGNAL(cellClicked(2, 1)),this,SLOT(obtain_values(QTableWidget *demands)));

---

the demands table is declared in the demandsTab constructor and the obtain_values function is shown below:

Code:

---

void DemandsTab::obtain_values(QTableWidget *demands)
{
 
 QTableWidgetItem *flagers = new QTableWidgetItem(("23"));
 demands->setItem(1,2,flagers);
 array[0] = demands->item(2,1)->data(Qt::DisplayRole).toInt();
 
 char test = 'j'; 
 qDebug()<<test;
 
}

---

i dont know why it doesnt recognise the table and the signal - any idea's?

1. no parameter values are allowed in SIGNAL and SLOT macros,
2. no parameter names are allowed in SIGNAL and SLOT macros,
3. signal and slot signatures must match.

Try:

Code:

---

connect( demands, SIGNAL( cellClicked( int, int ) ), this, SLOT( obtain_values( int, int ) ) );

---

and

Code:

---

void DemandsTab::obtain_values( int row, int col )
{
 // ...
 QTableWidget *item = demands->item( row, col );
 if( item != 0 ) {
    array[0] = ->data(Qt::DisplayRole).toInt();
 }           
 char test = 'j'; 
 qDebug()<<test;
}

---

Make sure that obtain_values() is declared as slot and that you have Q_OBJECT macro within class definition.

i ran the code and it compiled ok but the debugger still says no such signal "cellClicked(int, int)" do i have to put this signal into my header file or something like that, because i tried it before and it still didnt work?

Could you post the exact error message?

the error message from the debugger is attached with this reply....

This signal was introduced in Qt 4.1, but you are using Qt 4.0 --- that's why it couldn't be found.

hey thanks for pointing that out - i never realised. i used itemClicked instead and it seems to be working. thanks for your help again!
