unable to update QTableView cell text

iradarann

I am trying to edit text in QTableView cell (update text base on another table) but I am unable to do any changes. Below is my code but it does not work.

QTime time = ui->tv_timeSlot->model()->data(ui->tv_timeSlot->model()->index(index.row(),index.column())).toTime();
QString timeStr = time.toString("hh:mm:ss");
ui->tv_timeCard->model()->setData(ui->tv_timeCard->model()->index(1,1),timeStr,Qt::EditRole);

I did find out that there are some people override the flags function with

Qt::ItemFlags MyTableModel::flags (const QModelIndex &index) const
{
    return QAbstractItemModel::flags(index) | Qt::ItemIsEditable;
}

I would prefer not to override the function because I had no basic on this. But if that is the only way, please guide me. Thanks in advance

ui->tv_timeCard->model()->index(1,1) does your model have at least 2 rows and 2 columns?
ui->tv_timeCard->model()->setData returns a boolean, you should check what value it is
Can you try using QStandardItemModel instead of MyTableModel?

@VRonin Thanks for the suggestion.

I have 37 columns and 20+ rows
It return false. I am wondering why it unable to update and return false.
How can i know if i am using QStandardItemModel or MyTableModel? Or is there any way to set it?

You can step into it with the debugger to find out

This is set when you call QTableView::setModel
