QTableView currentChanged <> selecting header

[Everall]

Hi,

I'm experimenting a little with QTableViews selection behaviour.
The default is when you click on an item it gets selected (blue), but editing doesn't start yet. When you click on a column , the entire column gets selected (blue).

If you alter the editTrigger property for the view to CurrentChanged, then clicking on a cell starts editing immediately. Ok that's what I want.

But when you click a vertical header now, the first cell is in editing state (the delegate shows up) and that is not what I want.

Does anyone know a simple way to use the currentChanged property without getting the first cell in editing state when clicking on a header?



You can see this behaviour yourself if you want:
in the relationaltablemodel example I added a line to the createview function

QTableView *createView(const QString &title, QSqlTableModel *model)
{
    QTableView *view = new QTableView;
    ...
    view->setEditTriggers ( QAbstractItemView::CurrentChanged );
    return view;
}

QTableView *createView(const QString &title, QSqlTableModel *model)
{
    QTableView *view = new QTableView;
    ...
    view->setEditTriggers ( QAbstractItemView::CurrentChanged );
    return view;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Maybe i'm not seeing the obvious...
All suggestions are welcome

You can remove the trigger and try:

connect(myTableView, 
        SIGNAL(activated(const QModelIndex &)), 
        myTableView, 
        SLOT(edit(const QModelIndex &))
);

connect(myTableView, 
        SIGNAL(activated(const QModelIndex &)), 
        myTableView, 
        SLOT(edit(const QModelIndex &))
);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Thanks Wysota,

for the suggestion. It certainly helped looking at it from another angle. I would never have thought about that.

I tried it with signal activated, but that didn't work. But signal clicked did the job

connect(myTableView, 
        SIGNAL(clicked(const QModelIndex &)), 
        myTableView, 
        SLOT(edit(const QModelIndex &))
);

connect(myTableView, 
        SIGNAL(clicked(const QModelIndex &)), 
        myTableView, 
        SLOT(edit(const QModelIndex &))
);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Thanks a lot

I have a similar problem...

I need to start editing when i click on any cell in the QTableView.
I have tried setting editTriggers::Currentchanged property to 1. and also with the code

connect(myTableView, 
        SIGNAL(clicked(const QModelIndex &)), 
        myTableView, 
        SLOT(edit(const QModelIndex &))
);

connect(myTableView, 
        SIGNAL(clicked(const QModelIndex &)), 
        myTableView, 
        SLOT(edit(const QModelIndex &))
);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but the issue is that the contents of the cell get selected, when i click on the cell.
I just want editing without selection of contents ans when i double click on the cell the content get selected.

Please help....
