    Disclaimer

    I think your delegate is doing more harm than good but i'll go along with it anyway.


    Inside the class you defined in intvalmodel.h add:

    public:
    void setBrushForColumn(int col, const QBrush& brush);
    protected:
    void initStyleOption(QStyleOptionViewItem *option, const QModelIndex &index) const override;
    private:
    QMap<int,QBrush> m_brushes;
    

    now intvalmodel.cpp

    #include "intvalmodel.h"
    #include "GAS_tool.h"
    
    intvalmodel::intvalmodel(QObject* parent) :QStyledItemDelegate(parent)
    {
    
    
    }
    QWidget* QStyledItemDelegate::createEditor(QWidget* parent, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option,
    	const QModelIndex& index) const
    {
    	QLineEdit* editor = new QLineEdit(parent);
    	// QIntValidator* data = new QIntValidator(0, 999);
    	 //editor->setValidator(data);
    	editor->setValidator(new QIntValidator);
    	return editor;
    
    }
    void intvalmodel::setEditorData(QWidget* editor, const QModelIndex& index) const
    {
    	 QString value1 = index.model()->data(index, Qt::EditRole).toString();
     QLineEdit* line = static_cast<QLineEdit*>(editor);
     line->setText(value1);
    }
    void intvalmodel::setModelData(QWidget* editor, QAbstractItemModel* model, const QModelIndex& index) const
    {
    	  QLineEdit* line = static_cast<QLineEdit*>(editor);
       model->setData(index, line->text().toInt());
    }
    void intvalmodel::updateEditorGeometry(QWidget* editor, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index) const
    {
    	editor->setGeometry(option.rect);
    }
    
    void intvalmodel::initStyleOption(QStyleOptionViewItem *option, const QModelIndex &index) const override
        {
            QStyledItemDelegate::initStyleOption(option,index);
            option->backgroundBrush = m_brushes.value(index.column(),option->backgroundBrush);
        }
    void intvalmodel::setBrushForColumn(int col, const QBrush& brush){
    if(col<0 || col >= columnCount())
    return;
    m_brushes[col]=brush;
    }
    

    Now you can use it:

    delegate = new intvalmodel();
    delegate ->setBrushForColumn(1,QBrush(Qt::yellow));
    delegate ->setBrushForColumn(2,QBrush(Qt::red));
    delegate ->setBrushForColumn(3,QBrush(Qt::blue));
     ui.tableView->setItemDelegateForColumn(1,delegate); 
        ui.tableView->setItemDelegateForColumn(2, delegate);
      ui.tableView->setItemDelegateForColumn(3,delegate);

      if just to color one column and no validation on input in column then that done using Qt::BackgroundRole either via setData so need to refer which class QAbstractitem

        While the answers above are perfectly valid I think in your case it might be easier to just use a delegate:

        class BackgroundBrushDelegate : public QStyledItemDelegate{
            Q_OBJECT
            Q_PROPERTY(QBrush backgroundBrush READ backgroundBrush WRITE setBackgroundBrush NOTIFY backgroundBrushChanged)
            Q_DISABLE_COPY(BackgroundBrushDelegate)
        public:
            explicit BackgroundBrushDelegate(QObject *parent = nullptr)
                : QStyledItemDelegate(parent)
            {}
            BackgroundBrushDelegate(const QBrush& brush, QObject *parent = nullptr)
                : QStyledItemDelegate(parent)
                , m_backgroundBrush(brush)
            {}
            const QBrush& backgroundBrush() const { return m_backgroundBrush; }
            void setBackgroundBrush(const QBrush& brush)
            {
                if(m_backgroundBrush==brush)
                    return;
                m_backgroundBrush=brush;
                backgroundBrushChanged(m_backgroundBrush);
            }
        signals:
            void backgroundBrushChanged(const QBrush& brush);
        protected:
            void initStyleOption(QStyleOptionViewItem *option, const QModelIndex &index) const override
            {
                QStyledItemDelegate::initStyleOption(option,index);
                option->backgroundBrush = m_backgroundBrush;
            }
        private:
            QBrush m_backgroundBrush;
        }
        

        You can use it with tableView->setItemDelegateForColumn(0,new BackgroundBrushDelegate(QBrush(Qt::yellow),tableView));

            This does not sound like a brush delegate issue. Earlier you have in createEditor() :

            editor->setValidator(new QIntValidator);
            

            Make sure that is applying to the column (look at index parameter) where you want an integer, not some other column, at a guess?

              I'll quote the wise @mrjj

              the teacher will catch it and fail them if too much code is just copied.

              We gave you 2 possible solutions, one with and one without validator. We even integrated it in your existing code. What more can we do to help?

                May be i asked more that is easy for you ,but as i am new to c++ and qt, so i am not aware of all the concepts.
                so for me its little tough in implementation

                    @VRonin Hi! I am trying to do something similar; however, I am building an application in python, not C++. Could you help me how to understand this code better so I can convert it to python? Or could you maybe show me how it would be in python?
