checkboxes

[abrou]

Below is some code that puts a check box in the first colum of a TableWidget. They are entered nicely in the column, but I have two questions:

for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); ++i)	
{								
	fileTable->setRowCount(j+1);
	QCheckBox *inserter = new QCheckBox();
	fileTable->setCellWidget(j,0,inserter);
}

for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); ++i)	
{								
	fileTable->setRowCount(j+1);
	QCheckBox *inserter = new QCheckBox();
	fileTable->setCellWidget(j,0,inserter);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

1st, how do I align the check boxes to the centre, the only thing i see is for text.

2nd (and more important), I'm not sure how to acces these now. I want to connect them, so that when one is checked, it sends a signal like:

connect( checkbox , SIGNAL( toggeled(bool) ), this, SLOT( getType() ) );

What do I put for checkbox, above? It was created when another signal was called to populate the table.... I'm not sure if I'm being clear.

The item view framework supports checkable items out of the box. Take a look at QTableWidgetItem::setFlags(). I highly recommend to avoid flooding the table full of item widgets.

item->setFlags(item->flags() | Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable);

item->setFlags(item->flags() | Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable);

Thanks for the advice. I actually changed what I was going to do, since only two were going to be selected at a time, I thought maybe drag and drop would be better for the user. It seems to be working, although I'm not sure if I'm doing it the best way. Anyway, thanks!
