Zoom In/Out QTableView with a frozen first column

MarKS

I am trying to create a timeline like layout for my project. My timeline layout resembles something like we use for Audio and Video editing tools. Right now i am using QGraphicsView and have implemented something like this:

void TimeLine::wheelEvent(QWheelEvent* event)
{
    setTransformationAnchor(QGraphicsView::AnchorUnderMouse);

    // Scale the view / do the zoom
    double scaleFactor = 1.15;
    if (event->delta() > 0)
    {
        // Zoom in
        scale(scaleFactor, scaleFactor);
    }
    else
    {
        // Zooming out
        scale(1.0 / scaleFactor, 1.0 / scaleFactor);
    }
}

But this code zooms in/out the whole of QTableView along with the scrollbars.

Keeping in mind i have implemented my QTableView with a frozenColumn as documented here

Just for reference my TimeLine with a horizontal slider looks something like this:

My requirement is bit specific:

How do i implement zoom in/out function only on the table view (NOT frozenColumn) i.e. wheelEvent should trigger scaling of column widths, horizontal header and horizontal scroll bar as well.

I would appreciate some new ideas.

Hi,

You seem to mix QTableView and QGraphicsView. Why the QGraphicsView ?

Hi,

I am using a QGraphicsRectItem on top of QTableView which acts like a SeekBar (horizontal slider). So i have put QTableView and QGraphicsRectItem in one QGraphicsScene. I posted a question on SOV regarding this . Should give you an idea what i am trying to achieve. I am not sure if this is a good approach but if you can share some ideas would be nice.

Why not implement a custom view that would handle that ?

Do you mean custom graphicsView or tableView? If custom graphics view wouldn't it be too hard to reimplement everything? Any links or example would help.
