integer as a QTableWidgetItem ?

[tommy]

I'd like to load QTableWidget with integers and then display selected integers. It seems that QTableWidget can accept integers as shown here:

QTableWidget myTable = new QTableWidget(10, 10, this); //make a 10x10 table
 
QTableWidgetItem *newItem = new QTableWidgetItem(1); //convert from integer
myTable->setItem(0, 0, newItem); //set object

QTableWidget myTable = new QTableWidget(10, 10, this); //make a 10x10 table

QTableWidgetItem *newItem = new QTableWidgetItem(1); //convert from integer
myTable->setItem(0, 0, newItem); //set object

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But how do you visualize a selected entry from this table (entry 0,0)? The below code evidently does not work because the returned type is wrong.

int a = myTable->item(0,0);

int a = myTable->item(0,0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I'd have to do this

QTableWidgetItem *a = myTable->item(0,0);

QTableWidgetItem *a = myTable->item(0,0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But how can I get my integer out of this? This won't return integer.
