Hi all, how i can set selection behavior for QTableView like in Windows for files in folder when shift button is pressed?

I found this:
view->setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView::SelectRows);

but it can to change only for whole row/column selection behavior.

Thanks.!

I'm afraid I don't get exactly what your example is showing, but look at setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::SelectionMode mode), https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractitemview.html#SelectionMode-enum. QAbstractItemView::ContiguousSelection or QAbstractItemView::ExtendedSelection are what you are looking for?

@JonB said in QTableView selection behavior:

QAbstractItemView::ExtendedSelection

My money is on that one :)

@Jon I tried that, it's not what i need. I think with pix it will be clearer what i want to.

Per your selection picture now shown in your question (much better than your original textual description!)

I think you certainly do not want setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView::SelectRows), that does what you show and by definition only selects whole rows. I think you must try setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView::SelectItems) to get anything other than whole rows/columns selected. Then combine that with setSelectionMode(), passing QAbstractItemView::ContiguousSelection or (probably) QAbstractItemView::ExtendedSelection, and see how you go?
