      Your approach is wrong

      If you still want to use it, as in your other questions, you have to connect a slot to the rowsInserted signal

          using this rowinserted signal even not going on this slot

          connect(ui.tableView->model(), SIGNAL(rowsInserted), ui.tableView_2->model(), SLOT(changedvalue()));
          
          void tool::changedvalue()
          {
          QAbstractItemModel* table1 = ui.tableView->model();
          QAbstractItemModel* table2 = ui.tableView_2->model();
          for (int i = 0, maxI = table2->rowCount();i <= maxI;++i)//combobox in table2 col1
          {
              for (int r = 0, maxI = table1->rowCount();r < maxI;++r)//getvalue fromtable1
              {
                  QComboBox* combo = new QComboBox();
                  QString list1[10] = { table1->data(table1->index(r, 0)).toString() };//store value in list
                  qDebug() << "combox values1" ;
                  for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++)
                  {
                        combo->addItem(list1[j]);/pass list to combobox
                      qDebug() << "combox values" << list1[j];/
                  }
                  ui.tableView_2->setIndexWidget(ui.tableView_2->model()->index(i, 1), combo);
              }      
          }
          }

            @n-2204 said in Combobox in Qtableview:

            connect(ui.tableView->model(), SIGNAL(rowsInserted), ui.tableView_2->model(), SLOT(changedvalue()));

            This is wrong - again: use the new signal/slot syntax to catch such errors on compile time. And if you don't want then watch the output to stdout during debugging!

              @Christian-Ehrlicher
              I, and you, have repeatedly advised @n-2204 to change from the old macros to the new style, and provided the necessary links (e.g. https://forum.qt.io/topic/126193/spinbox-input-add-rows, I think we posted 4 times there to this effect). Precisely because the user keeps getting the connections wrong. It seems the user is not interested in making the effort to change their ways, and prefers to make the same mistakes and keep posting for others to sort out....

                connect(ui.tableView->model(), &QAbstractItemModel::rowsInserted, this,
                &tool::changedvalue);
                

                but signal/slot should work for both the ways
                and one thing is there is change in column 1 row values and @VRonin you told to use signal rowinserted() ?

                  It does but in case you make a mistake the new syntax lets you know straight away when you try to compile and it's not just a warning in the console while the program runs.
                  Also the new connection is faster

                  there is change in column 1 row values and @VRonin you told to use signal rowinserted() ?

                  In that case you would use the conveniently named dataChanged signal

                  void tool::changedvalue()

                  please do no rebuild all the widgets everytime something changes. setIndexWidget is already super inefficient, if you keep recreating them your program will probably stutter a lot

                    So when i am passing my values in a Qstring that time its coming in combobox but same when i try using table1 column1 rows value that time only last row value is adding in Combobox values looks like all values not appending

                                    combo->addItem(list1[j]);
                                    qDebug() << "combox values" << list1[j];//pass list to combobox
                                    qDebug() << "list j=" << j;
                                }
                                ui.tableView_2->setIndexWidget(ui.tableView_2->model()->index(i, 1), combo);
                                qDebug() << "row value i=" << i;
                            }
                        }
                        }
                        

                        yes, looks like some small change will be needed during addItem in combobox

                          Look at the loops of i and r. think about what they are doing, ask yourself when you want to create and populate a combo, inside which loop?

                            ya it works thankyou.

                            void tool::rowvalue1() {
                            QAbstractItemModel* table1 = ui.tableView->model();

                            for (int i = 0, maxI = table2->rowCount();i < maxI;++i)//combobox in table2 col1
                            {
                                 QComboBox* combo = new QComboBox();
                                  combo->setDuplicatesEnabled(false);
                              for (int r = 0, maxI = table1->rowCount();r < maxI;++r)//getvalue fromtable1
                                  {
                                     QString list1[10] = { table1->data(table1->index(r, 0)).toString() };//store value in list
                                   for (int j = 0; j < 1; ++j)
                                    {
                            

                            --using uniqueSet trying to add only unique values(no duplicate values) in Combobox but its not working is this correct way ? or any other way to do this ?

                                  My feeling is that you have no idea what your code does, you are just copy-pasting stuff around and hoping that it does something.
                                  Once again: read your code, run it step-by-step. This has nothing to do with Qt, it's just about loops

                                    thanks for your answers

                                    but what i shared i working code
                                    and now i asked -
                                    using uniqueSet trying to add only unique values(no duplicate values) in Combobox but this way not working is this correct way ? or any other way to do this ?

                                    this it might be very simple for you or you are expert but i am new C++ and Qt so i am having so many doubts may be silly.
                                    Thanks

                                      @n-2204 said in Combobox in Qtableview:

                                      no its 10
                                      j<10

                                      No, the code you pasted reads:

                                       for (int j = 0; j < 1; ++j)
                                      

                                      That's 1, not 10. Or are you saying you want help to fix your code but you don't paste the actual code you want help with?

                                      using uniqueSet trying to add only unique values(no duplicate values) in Combobox but this way not working

                                      If your pasted code is to be believed, you seem to declare QSet<QString> uniqueSet; inside the j loop.

                                                  QSet<QString> uniqueSet;
                                                   if (!uniqueSet.contains(list1[j]))//add only unique values in combobox
                                      

                                      This will always be true. uniqueSet is always empty.

                                        Hi

                                        • any other way ?

                                        Well your idea with QSet<QString> uniqueSet; was fine, but the logic/location was not right
                                        and i think QStringList might be easier.

                                        so this would do it. ( i assume you want a combo on each row in table 2 with same non-dub values in the combo)

                                           QAbstractItemModel *table1 = ui->tableView->model();
                                            QAbstractItemModel *table2 = ui->tableView_2->model();
                                            QStringList guesslist;
                                            for (int r = 0, maxI = table1->rowCount(); r < maxI; ++r) { //for all value rows
                                                guesslist.append( table1->data(table1->index(r, 0)).toString() );//store value in stringlist
                                            }
                                            guesslist.removeDuplicates(); // strip dubs
                                            for (int i = 0, maxI = table2->rowCount(); i < maxI; ++i) { //for all rows
                                                QComboBox *combo = new QComboBox(); // make combo
                                                combo->addItems(guesslist);  //add list to combobox
                                                ui->tableView_2->setIndexWidget(table2->index(i, 1), combo);// add combo
                                            }
                                        

                                        alt text

                                        But a word of warning. If you have many rows then setIndexWidget can become quite heavy for
                                        smaller devices and the app might lag. The cure is using a delegate as fully shown here ( thx VRonin :)

                                        https://forum.qt.io/topic/125906/qtableview-combobox-in-columns/10

                                        This also has the benefit that you don't need to copy anything around. its using the values directly. always updated.

                                           Ok Thanks!! but still looks like empty row value is coming in Combobox

                                          I am having 6-7 rows in my table
                                          

                                          I'm not using delegate as I need to read index, selection and apply some condition based on Combobox values in other columns ...,for some further req.

                                          Thanks
