QAbstractTableModel + QML TableView: How to call setData?

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

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.

I'm not aware of a possibility to use headers directly even in the old tebleview

@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.

[Bremenpl]

@VRonin But would you say the new one or old one is more fit to use...?

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

[Bremenpl]

@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]

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.

Do you know either rows inserting and removing work?

It does, the example I linked actually does it

I have just checked this. It overlaps my first row

looks like you forgot the topMargin: header.implicitHeight part

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

[Bremenpl]

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

[Bremenpl]

@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.
