Qtablewidget like Excel

[advseo32]

Hi every body ,


i want to reimplement my QtableWidget to work like so,

at start QtableWidget looks like so

________________________
|column1| column2| column3|
--------|--------|-------- |
|x |y |z=x*y |
-----------------------------

I want this :

when user type a number in Column1(X) and Column2 (Y) ( user must fill x and y to be able to show result in z)

the result updated automatically in Column3 (Z)

how i can do this ???

Use QTableWidget::cellChanged(). Connect it to a slot, calculate and update the result.

Yes, I think so.

Well, it does not use Qt, but the general approach is the same: detect value change, recalculate, update with new value (if needed). How could one optimize that?

I imagine that Excel creates a dependency tree between cells in much the same way that make does for builds. When a cell is changed the downstream recalculation flows by simply following the dependency tree. This approach allows for early detection of circular references.

C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 (Second Edition) walks through a simple spreadsheet application. The same example may be in the first edition (which can be had for no money). http://www.qtrac.eu/marksummerfield.html
