Add widget right aligned to a QTableWidget cell

[hbatalha]

@VRonin I tried it but I am facing some problems, the buttons are only visible when the row is selected and I can't click it.
Also, how do I get the button and connect it outside the delegate class?

Just remove:

if(!(option.state & QStyle::State_Selected))
            return;

and I can't click it.

You need to adjust the edit trigger of the view: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractitemview.html#editTriggers-prop

how do I get the button and connect it outside the delegate class?

create a signal in the delegate, something like Q_SIGNAL void clicked(const QModelIndex &index); and replace connect(editButton,&QPushButton::clicked,[](){qDebug("Edit");}); with connect(editButton,&QPushButton::clicked,this,std::bind(&TailButtonsDelegate::clicked,this,index));

@VRonin I getting this error when trying to create a signal in the delegate:

Also, I have a question: what's so wrong with setIndexWidget, creating a delegate seems so complex so I am asking what are the advantages of it over setIndexWidget?

Can you show your code?

Try creating 1000 rows and scroll through them. You'll realise very quick what the problem is. setIndexWidget is a HOG on resources

@VRonin Sorry for the really late reply, I have been working offline due to internet cut.

I Will try that, I am curious to see it

Also I want to set the button size to setFixedSize(10, 10); but I have been having problems controlling the size. For the time being I have being using this version using setIndexWidget

    QWidget* widget = new QWidget;

    QPushButton* detailsButton = new QPushButton;
    detailsButton->setFixedSize(10, 10);

    QHBoxLayout* hLayout = new QHBoxLayout;
    hLayout->addStretch();
    hLayout->addWidget(detailsButton);
    widget->setLayout(hLayout);

    ui->tableWidget->setIndexWidget(ui->tableWidget->model()->index(row, 0), widget);

So above is what I am trying to achieve using delegate.

Also the button is still not clickable

Then you can use it with something like:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc,argv);
    QTableWidget wid(2,2);
    TailButtonDelegate *butDelegate = new TailButtonDelegate(&wid);
    butDelegate->setButtonText("Test");
    QPixmap bluePixmap(20,20);
    bluePixmap.fill(Qt::blue);
    QIcon blueIcon;
    blueIcon.addPixmap(bluePixmap);
    butDelegate->setButtonIcon(blueIcon);
    QObject::connect(butDelegate,&TailButtonDelegate::buttonClicked,[](const QModelIndex& index){qDebug() << "Clicked " << index;});
    wid.setItemDelegate(butDelegate);
    wid.show();
    return app.exec();

}

@hbatalha said in Add widget right aligned to a QTableWidget cell:

Also I want to set the button size to setFixedSize(10, 10);

To do this in the example above you'd need to tweak the buttonRect() method to something like

virtual QRect buttonRect(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option) const{
    return QRect(option.rect.left()+option.rect.width()-10,option.rect.top(),10,10);
}

but it is not working.

Also I would like have the button in the middle of the cell(top - bottom), this when set the size to (10,10)

[hbatalha]

Update: I was able to solve all the problems mentioned above except for the mouse over event signal.
So now I just want a way to signal when the mouse goes over the delegate, I have tried many "solutions" none has worked yet for me.

[VRonin]

Sorry for the choppy response. Your delegate code is doing the right thing (just minor note it should handle QEvent::HoverEnter instead of QEvent::Enter), the problem is that hover events are not passed by the view to the delegate. You need to subclass your view and reimplement viewportEvent to something like: (warning: untested code)

class HoverDelegateView : public QTableView{
    Q_OBJECT
#if QT_VERSION >= QT_VERSION_CHECK(5, 13, 0)
    Q_DISABLE_COPY_MOVE(HoverDelegateView)
#else
    Q_DISABLE_COPY(HoverDelegateView)
#endif
public:
    explicit HoverDelegateView(QWidget *parent = Q_NULLPTR)
        : QTableView(parent)
    {}
protected:
    bool viewportEvent(QEvent *event) Q_DECL_OVERRIDE
    {
        switch (event->type()){
        case QEvent::HoverMove:
        case QEvent::HoverEnter:
        case QEvent::HoverLeave:{
#if QT_VERSION >= QT_VERSION_CHECK(6, 0, 0)
            QModelIndex index = indexAt(static_cast<QHoverEvent*>(event)->position().toPoint());
            QStyleOptionViewItem options;
            initViewItemOption(&options);
#else
            QModelIndex index = indexAt(static_cast<QHoverEvent*>(event)->pos());
            QStyleOptionViewItem options = viewOptions();
#endif
            QModelIndex buddy = model()->buddy(index);
            options.rect = visualRect(buddy);
            options.state |= (buddy == currentIndex() ? QStyle::State_HasFocus : QStyle::State_None);
            QAbstractItemDelegate *delegate = itemDelegate(index);
            delegate->editorEvent(event, model(), options, buddy);
            break;
        }
        default:
            break;
        }
        return QAbstractItemView::viewportEvent(event);
    }
};

@VRonin I understood what you said, the concept behind it. In the code there are two undeclared identifiers: viewOptions and index though.

Thanks, fixed those

Again this is managed by buttonRect, the 3rd argument to be precise:

virtual QRect buttonRect(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option) const{
    return QRect(option.rect.left()+option.rect.width()-10,option.rect.top()+qMax(0,(option.rect.height()-10)/2),10,10);
}

[hbatalha]

@VRonin I will test the code and get back to you.

[hbatalha]

@VRonin I figured that out.

[hbatalha]

@VRonin I thought you edited the reply to fix the undeclared identifiers errors in the code but they are still there.

[JonB]

@hbatalha
You wrote earlier

Looking at those in @VRonin's code now they should be fine? If you have a compilation error show it.
