Hello to all,

I'm new to Qt (using it for 4 weeks, used c++ builder before), using Qt 4.6 with C++ on windows (Qt Creator) and have a small problem detecting press of Key_Delete in a QTableView to manage to delete the whole row of data. I used keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent*) which is triggered on other Keys, but not the delete key. Below is a small example of compilable code, maybe someone has a hint for me. If I comment out the setEditTrigger line, I get the event once (and the contents of the active item is deleted), but then the tableview has no focus when I query that in keyPressEvent() (I later only want to act on delete key when the table has focus).

Thanks in advance
Armin

Qt Code: 
  1. #include <QtGui>
  2.  
  3. class MyApp : public QWidget
  4. {
  5. public:
  6.   MyApp();
  7.   ~MyApp();
  9.   QTableView *table;
  10.   QVBoxLayout *layout;
  11.   void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event);
  12. };
  13. MyApp::MyApp() : QWidget()
  14. {
  16.  
  17.   table = new(QTableView);
  18.   model = new QStandardItemModel(2, 1);
  19.   table->setModel( model );
  20.  
  21.   for( int r=0; r<2; r++ )
  22.   {
  23.     item = new QStandardItem(QString("Test"));
  24.     model->setItem(r, 0, item);
  25.   }
  26.  
  27.   table->setSelectionMode( QAbstractItemView::SingleSelection );
  28.   table->setEditTriggers(QAbstractItemView::NoEditTriggers);
  29.  
  30.   layout = new QVBoxLayout;
  31.   layout->addWidget(table);
  32.   setLayout(layout);
  33. }
  34. MyApp::~MyApp()
  35. {
  36. }
  37. void MyApp::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event)
  38. {
  39.   switch (event->key())
  40.   {
  41.     case Qt::Key_Return:
  42.     case Qt::Key_Enter:
  43.       qDebug() << "Enter";
  44.       break;
  45.     case Qt::Key_Escape:
  46.       qDebug() << "Escape";
  47.       break;
  48.     case Qt::Key_Insert:
  49.       qDebug() << "Insert";
  50.       break;
  51.     case Qt::Key_Delete:
  52.       qDebug() << "Delete";
  53.       break;
  54.       default:
  55.       qDebug() << "other" << event->key();
  56.       break;
  57.   }
  58. }
  59. int main( int argc, char **argv ) {
  60.   QApplication app( argc, argv );
  61.   MyApp Test;
  62.  
  63.   Test.show();
  64.  
  65.   return app.exec();
  66. }
