QTableWidget cellwidget selection

[high_flyer]

Since QTableWidgetItem is not a QObject, you can try and create a widget which subclasses from QTableWidgetItem:

class WidgetItem : public QWidget, public QTableWidgetItem
{
...
};

class WidgetItem : public QWidget, public QTableWidgetItem
{
...
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Then you can cast your pointer to both QWitdget and QTableWidgetItem allowing you use it both in setCellWidget as well as setItem() allowing you to use the model view part for the selctions and the visible part of cell widget.

I never tried it so no warranty on this ;-)

clever & sneaky!


I'll give it a shot later on, but it doesnt feel very clean. If someone know an "official" way, please do tell.

What is not clean is the way you are using QTableWidget.
It is an item based widget, and you are not using it with items which is what my solution actually solves.
It wont get much cleaner or more "official" than that - except a proper usage of items.

is there a better/more official way to use QWidgets in a "table-like" way?

Anyways, you solution works just fine. Thanks!

The question is what exactly you are trying to achieve.
You said very little about the motivation or requirements of what you are doing, so its hard to say.
It sounds almost as what you really need is not a table but a layout.
But I can't really tell based on what you have supplied so far.
