    @Slawomir_Piernikowski said in How to hide/show all rows?(QTablewidget):

    you can implement QSortFilterProxyModel

    I read manual in documentation, it assume that i should use function setModel(); to my tabWidget, but this function is private, and since my tabWidget is made in ui(Designer), i can't remake whole app, create new class just for inheritance, to much code should be repaired.

    Is there any other way to do something else, or at least access that private function?

    P.S. why this function even private... Such an obstacle for me now.

    Hi
    its private as QTablewidget uses a inner model.
    The Widgets version is just a wrapper for the View version.
    You could use
    QTableView with a QStandardItemModel instead.
    Code is also most the same, except you will add the Items to the model and not
    directly to Table.

      @mrjj Can you pls write some crucial lines which i should add? I really can't understand this concept of model and hardly understand the half of what you said))

        There is sample here
        https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18964377/using-qtableview-with-a-model
        THey use a custom model
        class VehicleModel : public QAbstractTableModel

        You can just use
        http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstandarditemmodel.html
        It looks worse than it is.

        Basically you can do ( to add a row of data to the model)

        QList<QStandardItem *> items;
        
        items.append(new QStandardItem("Column 1 Text"));
        items.append(new QStandardItem("Column 2 Text"));
        
        QStandardItemModel* model = new QStandardItemModel(this);
        
        model->setColumnCount(2);
        model->appendRow(items);
        

        and set model to TableView.
        This is the same as when you addItem to the TableWidget.

        They then use setFilterFixedString ( on the QSortFilterProxyModel ) to filter the model.

          It is always like this. Some widgets has some limitaions like for example private member to which there is no access without inheritens. In your case if you have such a problem it would be better to try to know QTableView and how works Model-View-Controlle.
          There is plenty articles but the best is Qt help documentation.
          Go to qt help and write in the search line: Model. next choose "Model/View Tutorial"

            told u i can't set it because it's private)

            Correct answer from Slawomir_Piernikowski , but will do so next time. Good lesson that was, every time when will create some huge/important widget - will do that only through manual creation of additional class with inheritance. No fast creation by hands with Designer anymore.

              "set model to TableView" -> TableVIEW allows setModel :)
              You are using the Widget version. which dont allow it.

              • No fast creation by hands with Designer anymore.

              It has nothing to do with Designer. :)
              TableWidget is simply slow with that many items and your method of hiding rows
              You can insert a TableView in designer too.

              So its not about using Designer or not.
              You can even use designer with custom classes too.
              So even if you decide you need a custom class. There is nothing stopping you for using
              Designer for some of the forms and then insert classes from code also.

              So it was more that the class used could not fulfill the requirements of 100K rows and show hide them. :)
              And yes, that came around as it was fast and easy to use TableWidget. and its meant to
              be easy to use. However, ease of use comes with a price in this case.

                Do not be disappointed. All widgets are only classes and you use them to create objects.
                So it is only about object orientated programming. You have to get to know methods in classes and how to use them. But it takes some time.......but after you once write your soft it will be easier to use Model view control in your other project and then it will not take so much time.

                  To much tables on this week, did'nt see exactly what you wrote) I Will try it.

                  UPDATE.

                  Read about tableView. There is so much to remake, replaced my tabWid with View, about 200 errors got, will take a day to remake whole app)) Or maybe more.

                  QTableView (and other Model/View widgets) is preferable for displaying a significant amount of data.

                  Well, did'nt know that when i started my app)

                    well that 200 errors is mostly about same stuff i assume.
                    But yeah, switching to View can be a bit involving later.

                    Btw, you can try
                    ui->tableWidget->setUpdatesEnabled(false);
                    for loop with hiderow
                    ui->tableWidget->setUpdatesEnabled(true);
                    and see if that speed it up.
                    But changing to View version will make you more happy in the long run :)

                      Will not help here - QHeaderView::setSectionHidden() doesn't care for such things and this is simply not meant to hide more than a few rows.

                        Why then TableWidget exist? Why they dont just left only View type, what can do tableWidget what can't View?

                        How. In my test program i created tableView in designer, how should i create new class for it? I rly can't get it, how it might be created from ui and my custom class simultaneously.

                          Hi
                          It exists for use cases with just a few hundred items and
                          is meant as a convenient class. ( it is a View with private model)

                          • how it might be created from ui and my custom class simultaneously.
                            You can use a feature of Creator called promotion.
                            http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/designer-using-custom-widgets.html
                            Think of it as runtime replace. You place say a normal Widget on the form.
                            and then promote it to your widget subclass. Then when run, its your class
                            instead of the default one.

                            ui->tableWidget->setUpdatesEnabled(false);
                            for loop with hiderow
                            ui->tableWidget->setUpdatesEnabled(true);
                            and see if that speed it up.

                            Will not help here - QHeaderView::setSectionHidden() doesn't care for such things and this is simply not meant to hide more than a few rows.

                            Ah, i though HideRow was something else :)
                            So treeWidget->setUniformRowHeights(true);
                            will not speed anything up either i assume.

                              Hi
                              It exists for use cases with just a few hundred items and
                              is meant as a convenient class. ( it is a View with private model)

                              • how it might be created from ui and my custom class simultaneously.
                                You can use a feature of Creator called promotion.
                                http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/designer-using-custom-widgets.html
                                Think of it as runtime replace. You place say a normal Widget on the form.
                                and then promote it to your widget subclass. Then when run, its your class
                                instead of the default one.

                              Hey nice feature. The only thing i don't like, is this message EVERY time i compile my project(brow.h is my mainWindow, main class if you wish):

                              0_1542560263077_cmonnn.jpg

                              And every time clicking yes yes yes...

                                Then close the ui_brow.h - since it is generated it will be created on every compile.
