[QTableView remove selected rows?

Hostel

Maybe you need a "QTableView::selectedIndexes()":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtableview.html#selectedIndexes.

Yea, I am using that one.

But I have solved that by decrementing (and removing from the end of the table view, not from the beginning):
I shouldn't increment over the list and remove the first items because table was shifting rows after I have removed one - and that was making issues. So I had to write decrementing cycle and removing from the end of the table view - after shifting I am able to remove the correct row.

From:
@
QList<int> rowIndexes;
for (int i = 0; i < rowIndexes.count(); ++i)
tableView->model()->removeRow(rowsIndexes[i]); // shifting rows after removing causes "bad removing"
@

To:
@
QList<int> rowIndexes;
for (int i = rowIndexes.count(); i >= 0; --i)
tableView->model()->removeRow(rowsIndexes[i]);

Hi All,
We can do using this push button method for deleting row of table.
void MainWindow::on_delete_record_clicked()
{

 QSqlQuery* query=new QSqlQuery();


QString str4;
str4 = ui->lineEdit_5->text();

// int id=str4.toInt();
query->addBindValue(str4);
/*
QString str3;
str3 = ui->lineEdit_4->text();
query->addBindValue(str3);
*/
query->prepare("DELETE FROM entry where id = 'id' ");
// query->addBindValue(":id");
//ui->tablewidget->removeRow(ui->tablewidget->currentRow());

query->exec();
if (query->exec())
{

    QMessageBox::critical(this,tr("Delete"),tr("Deleted"));
    //db.close();

}

Hi All,
With the above code i could not able to remove the selected rows from the QTableview is interface with database conncetion......please any one guide me

veera

I am not able to delete by selecting entire row from the Qtableview using delete push button ...give me some examples

VRonin

// get the selected indexes
QModelIndexList selectedIndexes = tableView->selectionModel()->selectedIndexes();
// make sure you are not deleting from a tree
Q_ASSERT(std::equal(selectedIndexes.constBegin()+1,selectedIndexes.constEnd(),selectedIndexes.constBegin(),[](const QModelIndex& a,const QModelIndex& b)->bool{return a.parent()==b.parent();}));
// sort from bottom to top
std::sort( selectedIndexes.begin(),selectedIndexes.end(),[](const QModelIndex& a,const QModelIndex& b)->bool{return b.row()<a.row();});
QSet<int> deletedRows; // keep a record of rows already deleted
for(auto i = selectedIndexes.constBegin();i!=selectedIndexes.constEnd();++i){
if(deletedRows.contains(i->row())) 
continue; //row deleted already, move on
if(tableView->model()->removeRow(i->row(),i->parent())) // try to delete the row
deletedRows << i->row(); // if successful store the row as deleted
}

@VRonin

I got selectedIndexes is 5 ITEMS while debugging my code "deletedRows" is 0 after that my selected row is remains same only it is not deleted .....my QTableview is connected with database.....

VRonin

@veera said in [QTableView remove selected rows?:

QTableview is connected with database

What model are you using?

veera

@VRonin
I am using this model
QSqlQueryModel *model = new QSqlQueryModel;

VRonin

from http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsqlquerymodel.html:

The QSqlQueryModel class provides a read-only data model for SQL result sets.

Since it's read only it does not allow you to delete rows

veera

Then which model i need to use and how to do it please give me some examples ........

VRonin

either QSqlTableModel (be carefull with this one, read the docs) or you manually populate a QStandardItemModel from the data you get from a QSqlQuery

veera

give me some examples so that i can understand it better

VRonin

QStandardItemModel + QSqlQuery https://forum.qt.io/topic/76135/qsqlrelationaltablemodel-and-complex-queries/21

QSqlTableModel http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsqltablemodel.html#details

veera

Its not happening ....... i have selected one and tried but its not deleting and tried many rows also not deleting my database is MSSQL in Ubuntu.....

VRonin

30 minutes before giving up?

create a dummy table in your database (so even in case of a disaster you won't lose anything important) and try with QSqlTableModel

veera

I want to something this type of query
query->prepare("DELETE FROM Info WHERE ID = ?");
query->addBindValue(ID);
for deleting of entire row by selecting a particular row...........

VRonin

QSqlTableModel or QSqlRelationalTableModel does that for you if you can live with simple queries. if you have convoluted joins then you'll have to connect to the model rowsRemoved or rowsAboutToBeRemoved signal and prepare the query manually

veera

@VRonin
I am a beginner of MS SQL so please give me examples

VRonin

... it's included as part of Qt's examples: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtsql-relationaltablemodel-example.html
