[itemview] delegation to a dialog ...

[lauranger]

I tested the way of the intermediate button,
but I still have to pressed enter or tab or click sideway after dialog quits in order to get
setModelData called
What I did :

1. in createEditor : instanciate a special push button that can carry a QVariant and which clicked() signal is connected to a method of my itemdelegate
2. in setEditorData : I put the qvariant onto the button
3. in the slot for clicked(), i setup the dialog with the qvariant, exec the dialog
   and on accept i copy dialog qvariant to special button, waiting for setModelData
   to keep clean and then emitting commitData and closeEditor
4. in setModelData I call setData with the qvariant on the special button

The problem is my emit of commitData is vain : my setModelData
is called ony when I as a user interact with the table.

I feel likeI am gonna gruik --pig noise-- by keeping the index in the special button and use it to call setData with

Anybody a hint ?
It seems that many things require a user interaction to be taken into account : calling reset from my model isi not enough to have my tableview repainted

Have a nice week end .

Why not call setData directly from the dialog and ignore the rest? You could even do it simpler if you uset setItemWidget on the view when acting upon change of the current item.

Hi Wysota

Why not ? This was my last proposition, with the need to keep the index to setData in.
I could not find setItemWidget in QTableView.

I could not find setItemWidget in QTableView.

The corresponding method for model-view classes is QAbstractItemView::setIndexWidget().

I didn't say to do that from setModelData...

The corresponding method for model-view classes is QAbstractItemView::setIndexWidget().

Right... Sometimes it's good to take a look at the docs before you write about some method

Hi again
For my second attempt, the one with the button, I am the one to blame :
I use my own sub-delegate and I "forgot" to relay the signals commitData
and closeEditor, as it is done when a view registers its delegate.
Sorry for the annoyance.
