currentRow() in QTableWidget is returning wrong row # when user clicks on a QComboBox

[Goldglv]

@SGaist I was reading about using that for this situation, very new to QT. Any chance of a basic example of how to pass the row number?

[SGaist]

Do you mean an example of using setMapping ?

[Goldglv]

@SGaist Honestly, not sure. This is kind of confusing. Trying to send the current row to the currentIndexChanged so I know which row was modified by user.

[SGaist]

It's the other way around, you map the QComboBox to the row you'll put it in and then use the mapped signal to retrieve the combo box you just modified and act accordingly.

[Goldglv]

@SGaist Can you show an example on how I would do that?

[SGaist]

WARNING From the top of my head, not tested however it should give you an idea on how to proceed further.

mapper = QSignalMapper()
for index in range(rowCount):
    combo = QtWidgets.QComboBox()
    // add your code
    self.tableWidgetCode.setCellWidget(index,0,combo)
    mapper.setMapping(combo, index)
    combo.currentIndexChanged.connect(mapper.map)
    mapper.setMapping(combo, 1)

mapper.mapped.connect(self.handleCombo)

def handleCombo(self, index):
    //update the model with the content of the combo box

@SGaist still can't get this to work. Example on the site is showing that we have to still use SIGNAL and SLOT but I didn't think that was necessary with QT5....

[SGaist]

You using python so there will be things that are different. Indeed Qt 5 introduced a new syntax however there are some few corner cases that might not be supported by it. IIRC argument with default values are not.

In any case, what did you try and what error did you got ?

[Goldglv]

@SGaist just tried your code, compiles but handlecombo is not being called when I change index in combo box.

I also see reference to pyqtSignal(), not sure if I need to be using this....

[SGaist]

Did you make the mapper a class member or is it only a local variable to the method that does the setup ?

[Goldglv]

@SGaist Just for testing purposes, I created a small .py file and left it as a global variable (I know this isn't the correct way to do it but just wanted to remove the other code.)

[SGaist]

Can you share your test code ? Like I wrote, mine was written from memory only.

Ok, I think I figured it out using functools. Below is the code that I replaced. Seems to be working but I did have one question, when calling currentItemChanged,connect, I'm passing the row number, it seems as that is the FIRST param sent to handleCombo(), I thought the signal would be the first param sent?

Just want to make sure I understand this correctly,,,,

def getData(self):
#mapper = QSignalMapper()
rowCount = 5 #len(allSQLRows)
self.tableWidgetCode.setRowCount(5)

    for row in range(rowCount):
        combo = QtWidgets.QComboBox()
        ###self.tableWidgetCode.setCellWidget(index,0,combo)
        #mapper.setMapping(combo, index)
        #combo.currentIndexChanged.connect(mapper.map)
        #mapper.setMapping(combo, 1)
        #mapper.mapped.connect(self.handleCombo)
        
        combo.addItem('AAA', 'aaa')
        combo.addItem('BBB', 'bbb')
        combo.addItem('CCC', 'ccc')
        self.tableWidgetCode.setCellWidget(row,0,combo) 
        combo.currentIndexChanged.connect(functools.partial(self.handleCombo, row))

def handleCombo(self, row, index):
        print('Current Row: ' + str(row))
        print('Index of Combo: ' + str(index))

I haven't used functools so I can't comment on that part.
