QTableView deselecting on click

[andytork]

Hi,

Is there a way I can remove the selection when clicked away from an item, by that I mean in an area of the table with no items or outside the table (on a lost focus)

I can't find any signals anywhere to help me with this

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Andy

You have to reimplement mouseReleaseEvent and do the deselection yourself based on whether you click on the item or not (QAbstractItemView::itemAt() will be helpful to determine this).

Thanks for the help, I used the following which looks good

void JournalView::mouseReleaseEvent ( QMouseEvent * event ) 
{
	QModelIndex idx = indexAt(event->pos());
	if (idx.isValid())
	{
		qDebug() << "Valid";
	}
	else
	{
		qDebug() << "Invalid";
 
	}
}

void JournalView::mouseReleaseEvent ( QMouseEvent * event ) 
{
	QModelIndex idx = indexAt(event->pos());
	if (idx.isValid())
	{
		qDebug() << "Valid";
	}
	else
	{
		qDebug() << "Invalid";

	}
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Remember to call the base class implementation.
