    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.

    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.

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

                      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.
