    Now I only need to figure out either headerData can be utilized and that would be it.

    I'm afraid that part has not been developed by Qt yet

    We’re also working on a TableHeader, TableModel, as well as a DelegateChooser.

    @VRonin So as for now, is there a way to set the column header at all?

      Not exactly what I would call a header. There's this: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-tableview.html#overlays-and-underlays but it's far from anything that is actually useful

        @VRonin Yes, I have just checked this. It overlaps my first row... Do you know either rows inserting and removing work? Meaning- If I remove or insert a row at runtime, will it update the view?
        This seems to still be a very beta thing, I wonder either old or new controls should be used.

          Hello there,
          I have a custom model class subclassing the QAbstractTableModel. On the QML side, I have a TableView component. I am trying to connect those 2 things. As for now, I have the TableView reading the data correctly using the data method on C++ side.

          Now, I am editing the cells on the QML side and after I am done, I dont know how to make the TreeView call the setData method. I could call it by hand, but the problem is that it requires a valid QModelIndex object:

          bool setData(const QModelIndex &index, const QVariant &value, int role = Qt::EditRole) override;
          

          I dont know how to create one one the QML side. I think there should be a method to call it indirectly from QML, but I dont know how. I would appreciate all help regarding this issue. This is my QML test component:

          import QtQuick 2.12
          import QtQuick.Controls 2.3
          import QtQuick.Controls 1.4
          import QtGraphicalEffects 1.0
          import "."
          
          Popup
          {
          	id: thePopup;
          	modal: true;
          	focus: true;
          	closePolicy: Popup.CloseOnEscape | Popup.CloseOnPressOutside;
          
          	leftPadding: 0;
          	rightPadding: 0;

          						TextInput
          						{
          							id: textInputId;
          							anchors.fill: parent;
          
          							onEditingFinished:
          							{
          								console.log("Edited");
          								theLoader.visible = false;
          								theCellText.visible = true;
          
          								// TODO how to call setData?
          							}
          						}
          					}
          				}
          			}
          		}
          	}
          }
          

          I also dont know how to force the QML TreeView to call the C++ headerData method, but this is of less importance than setData...
          I would appreciate all help.

          since you use QtQuick.Controls 1 TableView you need to use the TableViewColumn element, which only supports roles.
          So you can add custom role names and forward those header roles to the headerData() method in the data() method.

          virtual QHash<int, QByteArray> roleNames() const {
              QHash<int, QByteArray> rn = QAbstractItemModel::roleNames();
              rn[MyHeaderRole1] = QByteArrayLiteral("header1");
              return rn;
          }
          
          QVariantdata(const QModelIndex &index, int role = Qt::DisplayRole) const {
               switch( role )
               {
                  case MyHeaderRole1:  return headerData(0, Qt::Horizontal);
                  ...
               }
               return QVariant();
          }

            @raven-worx thanks for answer. The thing is that at this point I am not certain anymore which version TableView I should opt for. On one hand I dont want to use the obsolete component which has columns and roles functionality mixed, and on the other this.new one doesnt seem to be ready for usage.

              and on the other this.new one doesnt seem to be ready for usage.

              Based on the example from the docs (untested though):

              TableView {
                  id: tableView
              
                  columnWidthProvider: function (column) { 
                          var colWidth = ...;
                          var headerItem = headerRepeater.itemAt(column)
                          if( headerItem )
                              headerItem.width = colWidth;
                          return colWidth; 
                    }
              
                  topMargin: header.height
              
                  Row {
                      id: header
                      height: 40
                      width: implicitWidth
                      padding: 0
                      spacing: 0
              
                      Repeater {
                          id: headerRepeater
                          model: tableView.columns 
                          Item {
                                 height: parent.height
                                // your column delegate
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }
              

              Could be easier/built-in indeed, but i think this should work (with minor adaptions probably).

              QAbstractItemModel::headerData() is directly invokable from within QML

                  @raven-worx Thanks for answer, but I am really lost at this one. What is supposed to be my column delegate?

                  I am playing with this new TableView for over an hour now and I am not even able to set variable columns width (when the container width change). I wonder either this is a bug or a feature.

                      @raven-worx Thanks for answer, but I am really lost at this one. What is supposed to be my column delegate?

                      I am playing with this new TableView for over an hour now and I am not even able to set variable columns width (when the container width change). I wonder either this is a bug or a feature.

                      what every you want it to look like. A Rectangle with a Text inside maybe?

                        @raven-worx I tried a simple Text component and all that was visible was a single text (not sure either they were stacked one on another).

                        Arent you guys aware any single code example showing how to do this all from ground up?

                          @VRonin Yes, I have just checked this. It overlaps my first row... Do you know either rows inserting and removing work? Meaning- If I remove or insert a row at runtime, will it update the view?
                          This seems to still be a very beta thing, I wonder either old or new controls should be used.

                          I understand and share your frustration on the state of views in QML, development has been focused on components that work well on mobile platforms (as QtWidgets is not really an option there) so views have been neglected.

                          It does, the example I linked actually does it

                          looks like you forgot the topMargin: header.implicitHeight part

                            maybe there is only 1 column?
                            is your model's columnCount() method called?

                              @raven-worx It is. I will give it another go, thank you.

                                @VRonin Thanks for answer. I did snap a little bit, sorry for that...
                                I will give the new TableView another go according to yours and @raven-worx hints but as for now I think the Version 1 is more complete. The only lacking thing is to make the TreeView to call setData automatically (I only got this working in the new version). In the 1st version I am still calling a wrapper for it.

                                Thank you for help guys.
