change row color with setData

[ottoshmidt]

I can easily manipulate data in the QTableView cells with :

model->setDate(index, "somestring")

model->setDate(index, "somestring")

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but I can't change other properties, like background color or smth:

model->setData(model->index(1,2) , QColor(Qt::blue), Qt::BackgroundColorRole);

model->setData(model->index(1,2) , QColor(Qt::blue), Qt::BackgroundColorRole);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

- doesn't work

it appears that only default role (Qt::EditRole) works for me in setData... is that's what's supposed to be or I am missing something?

The roles that "work" depend on the model. If your model doesn't support storing background colors, it will ignore all requests to set them.
