[SOLVED]which widget would be the best to display the following data?
-
phamtv,
Qt 4.7.1 comes with a neat tutorial which shows also how to deal with changing models.
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/modelview.htmlinteresting for you: 2.3, a clock inside a table cell.

dialingo/Andre/Gerolf,
I have the following code implementation, however, when I run the application, the tableview controls is shown but does not populate with the rows and columns data... Any idea what is going on? NOTE: I simplified it into 3 files...

Hi,
the problem is pretty easy:
you create the register model on the stack
set it to the view and then, when the c'tor goes out of scope, the model is deleted.create the reister model on the heap as follows:
@
explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0) { device = new cls_Device(); for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { if (device->data[i] != NULL) registerMap.insert(device->data[i]->Desc, device->data[i]->Value); } RegisterModel* registerModel = new RegisterModel(this); registerModel->setCurrencyMap(registerMap); QTableView* tableView = new QTableView(); tableView->setModel(registerModel); tableView->setAlternatingRowColors(true); tableView->verticalHeader()->hide(); tableView->horizontalHeader()->setStretchLastSection(true); tableView->resizeColumnsToContents(); tableView->setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView::SelectRows); setCentralWidget(tableView); QTimer* timer = new QTimer(this); timer->setInterval(1000); connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()) , this, SLOT(timerHit())); timer->start(); }
@
aditionally, the creator of RegisterModel should look like this:
@
RegisterModel(QObject* pParent) :
QAbstractTableModel(pParent)
{
}@

Thanks guys for your support. I have a follow up question to my model/view implementation. I added some code to spawn another thread to generate some random number, however, I don´t know how to update the table view when I receive the signal to update the table view. Can you guys give me some input? Thanks!

You should start reading the "docs":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/modelview.html :-)
When you want to change a value, you have to emit a signal dataChange() and change the value before.
If you want to add/remnove rows/columns, there are also signals, which are emitted by special functions[begin|end][insert|remove][Columns|rows]

Hi Gerolf, Thanks!, :-) I have been reading the docs but just can´t seem to connect things together. As you can see in my implementation, I have an inherited QThread class that initializes my structure pointer array. If you have noticed, I intentionally place a null pointer to register 5 because I do not have a continguous set of register in my real world scenario. QMap basically is a subset of my structure pointer array without the null pointer. I can populate the table view with RegisterModel using QMap. However, as you can see, when my thread executes, it changes the structure array value. Do I have to loop through the QMap items, compare the description strings, and then update TableView by emitting a signal dataChange()? This seem time consuming if I have loop through the QMaps items for every registers that changes.... Please advise...
