Yes, it was in the paint event... anyway... Thanks the color table really did the trick for me. My goal was basically this: !http://i41.tinypic.com/2cp9tw7.jpg(this)! Using a grayscale image as a brush stencil prototype and colorizing it with a user selected color, creating another pixmap that uses the prototype for alpha. I really didn't expect this to take two hours LOL :D

did my first bug report. "here":https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-24924 feels good no matter it could help or not. thanks.

My solution so far: @// views is a of type QTableView* QAbstractItemDelegate *itemDelegate = view->itemDelegate(); // Not sure why this is QStyledItemDelegate and not just QItemDelegate. // But QStyledItemDelegate also offers setItemEditorFactory(..) so this // is fine. assert(typeid(QStyledItemDelegate) == typeid(*itemDelegate)); QStyledItemDelegate *styledItemDelegate = dynamic_cast<QStyledItemDelegate *>(itemDelegate); QItemEditorFactory *editorFactory = new QItemEditorFactory; // "plainText" is the name of the property of the QPlainTextEdit which // contains the editing data. QItemEditorCreatorBase *creator = new QItemEditorCreator<QPlainTextEdit>("plainText"); editorFactory->registerEditor(QVariant::String, creator); styledItemDelegate->setItemEditorFactory(editorFactory);@ Now I also need to figure out how to place the cursor correctly, right now it is always before the beginning of the string.

To get mouse move events without having a button pressed, you need to enable mouseTracking. See [[doc:QWidget]] for details.

You'll need to somehow expose in your model that a cell is considdered 'changed'. That probably means using a data role for that. You can then let your delegate handle that data role, or just a simple proxy model to set the background role for these cells as well.

MSDN is a good starting point: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms645536(v=vs.85).aspx In "using raw input", there are a few examples.

Thanks, that suggestion worked well. Here's a code sample in case anyone else wants to do something similar: @class custom_table(QtGui.QTableWidget): def __init__(self, parent=None): QtGui.QTableWidget.__init__(self, parent) self.chkbox1 = QtGui.QCheckBox(self.horizontalHeader()) def resizeEvent(self, event=None): super().resizeEvent(event) self.chkbox1.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect((self.columnWidth(0)/2), 2, 16, 17))@ The "(self.columnWidth(0)/2)" keeps the checkbox in the middle of the column header.

exactly what i was looking for, even lets you do multiple colors! and unfortunately google was of no help with pointing me to this gold mine. Thanks!

Right, well thank you. my problem is solved! Much appreciated.

Glad you were able to find a solution! Please edit your title post and add [Solved]. Thanks!

Thanks! Your short list is a better documentation than anything I have found so far. "qws" sounds promising, maybe this is exactly what I need.

See "here.":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/stylesheet-examples.html#customizing-qradiobutton

If you use a file you might want to use this: sendProgress->setValue( (fileToSend->pos() * 100) / fileToSend->size()); The pos() functions comes from the QIODevice class, but it is inherited by QFile.

bq. I guess you have checked already some ms fora for a solution? Well I checked stackoverflow.com. So if you are debugging on a Mac or Linux with gdb and type bt you will get always a useful stack trace? I have to point out, that in my case we develop extensions for an already existing application. Qt and the extension are loaded via dll into another program. Because of this I think the call stack is even larger, than it would be for a "normal" Qt app.
