QTableWidget items selection

[Abderaouf]

Gents;

I am doing an exercice using QTableWidget when I have to select one item from four in each row of the first column. Lets say I have 10 rows and 3 columns. I thought of crearing a QStringList that I attribute to each row and select the item, like QCombo Box widget.

I have prepared the below exemple; please advise:

list->append("Item 1");
list->append("Item 2");
list->append("Item 3");
list->append("Item 4");

for(int i = 0; i < 1; i++ )
{
for (int j = 0; j < 11; j++)
{
Stagetype = new QTableWidgetItem (QStringList (list));
ui->table_ConvDesign->setItem(i,j,list);
}
}

Cheers;

Hi,

Advise what exactly ?

@SGaist
When running this code I had a couple of error messages. I am not sure this is the proper way to proceed.

Hi, if you list the actual errors we can help make them go away :)
(you can right click error and say copy, in Creator)

Also
https://wiki.qt.io/How_to_Use_QTableWidget

Your sample seems to be missing
m_pTableWidget->setRowCount(XXX);
m_pTableWidget->setColumnCount(XXX);
This is important as nothing will show otherwise :)

@mrjj this is my code:

void CFAdvisor::setupTableItems()
{
for (int row = 0; row < table_ConvDesign->rowCount()-1; ++row)
{
for (int column = 0; column < table_ConvDesign->columnCount()< 0; ++column)
{
QStringList list;
list->append("Pre-PAD");
list->append("PAD");
list->append("SLF");
list->append("Flush");
table_ConvDesign->setItem(row, column, &list);
}
and this is the error:
E:\Computing\Qt Designer\cfadvisor.cpp:168: erreur : no matching function for call to 'QTableWidget::setItem(int&, int&, QStringList*)'
table_ConvDesign->setItem(row, column, &list);
^

setItem takes a QTableWidgetItem * not a QStringList *.

@SGaist this is the point; how to make it take a QStringList. This is what I want to do ;)

Hi
It does not work that way at all. :)
So even its Xmas, it not possible
setItem wants an item. not list.
the item take some text.
so you can use a for loop with the list, and create item for each.
It will not do it for you :)
