QTableWidget + setCellWidget facing problem.

[wysota]

Thanks for replying, but i just wanted to ask u that, can't i do this using setCellWidget???

You could but it's like eating soup with a fork. Do it the proper way - with a delegate.

There's the Star Delegate and the Spinbox Delegate examples in the Item View examples, those were pretty easy to understand .

Thanks wysota,

But i still have some doubts like should i create a new class to handle QTableWidgetItem and then create a delegate(create_editor???) through which we can customize our cell or should i just create a create_editor( ) of type QWidget and use it in setcellWidget(i, j, QWidget) in the current QTableWidget class???? I am confused, what to do??
And i know its kind of hard to understand what i am trying to say here, if u want, then i can upload the code here, i have the whole flow going but i just need to add a QTextedit and QComboBox in each cell when clicked.... please help me out

Thanks!!!

Please edit your post and write it in simpler, shorter sentences with more or less proper English grammar without skipping characters from words. Right now I can't understand what you want. If you don't respect people here and don't care about checking what you have written, how can you expect someone to devote his time to help you?

Hi,

In simple words, i just wanted to know that, if i need to implement this functionality of adding a linedit and combobox in a cell of a tablewidget.

1. Do i need to change the way i was initializing the tablewidgetitems, or should i just create a new Delegate class???
2. Does a delegate class plays any role in intializing the table items???
3. If it does plays a role in intializing tableitems then, how could i implement this functionality???

Help me, I m really a Newbie To QT.

Thanks!!!

Hi,

In case we are creating a new class which inherits QItemDelegate class, then How can we maintain the QModelIndex and other options if we are using QTableWidget for displaying our data. And What is this qVariantfromValue( ), i mean what does it do???

[tbscope]

If the goal is to use the model in more than one view, then do not use a QTableWidget but a QTableView. The model always maintains the indexes. The view might keep a list of indexes to store view specific parameters (like expanded items), but if the view wants to change an item, it needs to tell the model about it.

The description of qVariantFromValue:
