How to add a spinbox column and combo box column in QTableWidget or QTableView?

When did you switch to the dark side @Christian-Ehrlicher ?

but you also have to reimplement paint and fill in manually a QStyleOptionComboBox

Because of this stupid limitation of the QStyledItemDelegate - I can't show the editor the whole time without custom painting and the up/down spinboxes also don't work well if the item doesn't have the focus. Maybe a task for you for Qt6 ;)

@Christian-Ehrlicher Fair enough, when the widget to paint becomes complex the process is a nightmare, I agree.

For a quick and dirty workaround without using setItemWidget, you can check https://pastebin.com/XrppLZ3m

QStyle::CT_SpinBox,
&option,
QSize(option.fontMetrics.horizontalAdvance(displayText(index.data(),option.locale)), option.fontMetrics.height())
);
}
};

Alot of errors

It's all easy to solve.

• qobject_cast<QSpinBox> should be qobject_cast<QSpinBox*>
• option.rect() should be option.rect

Did you even try to have a guess at what's wrong?! It's super easy. instead of tableView it should be ui->tableView or even a simple this will work

@VRonin how can i make the spinbox always visible

[VRonin]

You need to reimplement paint, fill a QStyleOptionSpinBox and use the style to paint the control

@VRonin give me an example please
