    Hi,

    Did you check the size of the model when initComboBoxes is called ?
    If it's valid, can you try not replacing the delegate ?

      Hi guys,
      I have a table view that has to display some comboboxes on its 5th column.
      So, on init, i set a delegate (previewModeDelegate) and draw some comboboxes:

      def initComboBoxes(self):
      
          model = self.view.model()
          self.view.setItemDelegateForColumn(4,  previewModeDelegate(self))
      
          for r in range(model.rowCount()):
              res = self.view.openPersistentEditor(model.index(r, 4))
      

      the delegate:

      class previewModeDelegate(QItemDelegate):
      
          def __init__(self, parent):
              QItemDelegate.__init__(self, parent)
              self.items = []
              self.items.append("No FX")
              self.items.append("Motion Blur")
              self.items.append("DOF")
              self.parent = parent
      
          def createEditor(self, parent, option, index):
      
              self.editor = QComboBox(parent)
      
              for i in range(len(self.items)):
                  self.editor.addItem(self.items[i])
      
              # getting node, getting the data 
              cNode = index.model().cameraData[index.row()]
              value = cNode.GetProperty("previewMode")
      
              self.editor.connect(self.editor, SIGNAL("currentIndexChanged(int)"), self.cbCallback)
              self.editor.setCurrentIndex(value)
      
              return self.editor
      
          def cbCallback(self, value):
      
              editor = self.sender()
              self.parent.view.commitData(editor)
              self.parent.view.closeEditor(editor, QAbstractItemDelegate.NoHint)
      
          def setModelData(self, editor, model, index):
      
              value = editor.currentIndex()
              
              # getting the node, setting the data
              cNode = model.cameraData[index.row()]
              cNode.SetProperty("previewMode", value)
      
              return True
      

      everything works fine, i get some nice working comboboxes:

      0_1558020728670_6312abcc-746c-47cd-b8a0-6e00f43492c3-image.png

      problem is. during the sw usage, i have to reset the model and recreate the comboboxes.
      So, in the gui init, i connected the InitComboBoxes method to the the resetModel signal

      self.cameraModel.modelReset.connect(self.initComboBoxes)
      

      After i reset the model, the initComboBoxes method is launched but the comboboxes are not reinitialized correctly:

      0_1558020990731_8f1c6856-d5fa-4c50-a99c-5d11e71f0c04-image.png

      I am still very new to Pyside MVC. I tried tinkering with the code, but with no results. Any help?

      Ty,
      Federico

      I use PyQt, but pretty similar to PySide. This probably has nothing to do with your problem, but...

      self.parent = parent
      

      QItemDelegate inherits all the way from QObject.parent() method. Is it a good idea to create an instance attribute with the same name as an inherited method?

      In your code, you could get rid of that anyway and simply use the existing parent() method instead. You won't need your own parent attribute in any of your classes deriving from QObject.

        thank you guys for your inputs

        @SGaist
        hi, i checked and the model looks always valid to me.
        My impression is that on a model level everything works - in fact, the numbers that i see on the combobox column are coming straight out of it.
        Also, I just noticed that if i double click the cell and go into edit mode, I still get my combobox delegate and I can correctly edit the values; the combobox disappears as soon as i'm done with the edit.

        I tried moving the setItemDelegateForColumn method around - only in init, after the openPersistentEditor, before it, duplicated...but no luck

        @JonB
        good call, didn't know that, I fixed it. But sadly, as you said, that didn't solve the issue

          Breakthrough!

          If I connect the rebuild function to a custom signal that I emit just after the endResetModel(), everything works.

          Why is that?
          Maybe the modelReset signal is not emitted when I expect it to?

            modelReset should be emit after endResetMode.

            What version of PySide are you using ?

              @SGaist sorry if I'm so late, I wasn't notified about your post.
              I'm using PySide 1.2. I am working inside 3dsmax 2017 and I have to use what Autodesk provides me - I have no choice about this.

                I was facing exactly the same problem with PyQt5.
                I was creating a QTableView and assigned a QStyledItemDelegate to one of the columns and opened the persistent editor for the column items.
                Whenever I was programmatically adding a new row and reopening the persistent editor for all table rows, the tableview data did not change upon selecting a new item in the QComboBox of the item delegate.
                It took me a while to figure out that persistent editor was actually behaving as expected for the very last row of the table.
                I'm pretty sure that when opening the peristent editor after having added a row to the table, a second QComboBox is drawn ontop of the already existing ones in rows 0:(numberOfRowsOfOriginalTable).

                I've been able to solve the problem by effectively closing the existing persistent editors and reopening them again for all rows of the updated table.

                Nevertheless, I would expect PyQt to ignore the openPersistentEditor() command on rows where the persistent editor is already open or to give out an error message.

                  @Almoedi hi and welcome to devnet,

                  Thanks for the detailed analysis and solution !

                  Would it be possible for you to provide a minimal script showing the persistant editor issue ?

                      There's no need to close them first.

                      The issue here comes rather from the replacement of the delegate. There's no need for that. If you just set it in the constructor and trigger the persistent editors when you add a line, you should be fine.

                      One thing that might be worth checking is why replacing the delegate does not close de persistent editor. I do not know whether it's on purpose as you asked for a persistent editor after all.
