Qtableview Combobox in columns

[n-2204]

Qtableview and combobox added in column using delegate approach
I have two tables and i created combobox in table 2,
QWidget* QItemDelegate::createEditor(QWidget* parent, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option,
const QModelIndex& index) const {
QStringList values;//combobox
values << "Value1" << "Value2" << "Value3" << "Value4";
QComboBox* comboBox = new QComboBox(parent);
comboBox->addItems(values);
return comboBox;
}
but first thing combobox shows when i select the column how to correct it ?
and second i need pass values in combobox whatever i have data in my table1 Name column (so whenever user add table1 name, same should update as combobox value in table2) ?
Thanks in advance

@n-2204 said in Qtableview Combobox in columns:

but first thing combobox shows when i select the column how to correct it ?

Yes, if you want to appear as a combobox always you also have to reimplement paint()

second i need pass values in combobox whatever i have data in my table1 Name column (so whenever user add table1 name, same should update as combobox value in table2) ?

Super easy just call comboBox->setModel(model1); instead of addItems

[n-2204]

@VRonin but model1 need to take from base class (where i created table)
so how to get that model?

[VRonin]

pass it to the delegate... just create a variable, a getter and a setter in the delegate:

public:
void setComboModel(QAbstractItemModel* mdl){m_comboModel =mdl;}
QAbstractItemModel* comboModel() const {return m_comboModel ;}
private:
QAbstractItemModel* m_comboModel = nullptr;

[n-2204]

@VRonin in table2 combobox values should be from my table1 column 2.
so how can i store/get that values and pass as combobox->setmodel()

[VRonin]

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcombobox.html#modelColumn-prop

just call setModelColumn()

[n-2204]

Not working
the values in combobox should come from table1 column 2
and in table2 column 1 and 2 comobox should create
how to do this?

[SGaist]

Hi,

Please take the time to read the documentation of the classes you are using: QComboBox::setModelColumn.

[n-2204]

Hi,
Anyone one example/code of Qtableview Combobox in columns
please share
the values in combobox should come from table1 column 2
and in table2 column 1 and 2 comobox should create
Thanks

Thanks
Is there another way to add combobox in Qtableview using setcellwidget
or its there for only tablewidget not tableview?

[JonB]

@n-2204
As you can see from docs setCellWidget() is QTableWidget only, not QTableView. Though the latter does have equivalent setIndexWidget() instead.

But I can warn you now that if you use setCellWidget() or setIndexWidget() at all @VRonin will come down on you like a ton of bricks (look at his sig!) ;-) Which is why he showed you code using QStyledItemDelegate instead... :)

[n-2204]

@JonB ok so diff part is how to pass the other column values in combobox as using delegate it is easier

/*  for (int i = 0, maxI = ui.tableView_2->model()->rowCount();i <= maxI;++i)
{
    QComboBox* combo = new QComboBox();
    combo->addItem("value1");
    combo->addItem("value2");
    combo->addItem("value3");
    ui.tableView_2->setIndexWidget(ui.tableView_2->model()->index(i, 1), combo);
}

[VRonin]

ui.tableView_2->setIndexWidget

@n-2204 Refer to Spin Box Delegate Example in QT
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-itemviews-spinboxdelegate-example.html
same concept for Combobox as well

@VRonin what i have shared code is working
ya thing is how to pass column value in that combobox like what you have shared in combodelegate example

[VRonin]

@n-2204 said in Qtableview Combobox in columns:

what i have shared code is working
ya thing is how to pass column value in that combobox like what you have shared in combodelegate example

what you shared is a shoebox with wheels and you are asking how to put an engine in it to turn it into a car.

The correct way to do it is with a delegate. I shared a full working example using a delegate

@VRonin 😃 ok thanks
