Deselect an ItemDelegate in QTableView

Fuel 0

Good Morning everyone,

i have a QTableView with Stylesheets and a special ItemDelegate. What i now want is, when i select something else, i want to clear the Selection of the QTableView. I have done some research how i do this and i found something. Its not so easy as i wish, but its something i can work with. At the Moment im struggling with one Thing in this Solution.

Here is an Image how it looks, when i select the ComboBox on the Top and a Row was selected.

I read that i have to change the Paint Event of the ItemDelegate, but i dont know how i do that, but i tried following.

First i changed my Stylesheet.

setStyleSheet("QTableView { margin-bottom: 5px; border: 1px solid black; }"
             "QTableView:!active { selection-color: black; selection-background-color: rgba(72, 169, 166, 1); }"
             "QHeaderView::section { background-color: rgba(22, 15, 42, 1); color: white; }");

then i added some lines to my paint Event in the ItemDelegate

RatingDiaryTableWidget *rating = qvariant_cast<RatingDiaryTableWidget*>(index.data());

        if (option.state & QStyle::State_Selected)
            painter->fillRect(option.rect, option.palette.highlight());

        if (option.state & !QStyle::State_Active)
            painter->fillRect(option.rect, option.palette.NoRole);

        painter->setBackground(QBrush(Qt::transparent));
        rating->render(painter, painter->deviceTransform().map(option.rect.topLeft()), QRegion(QRect(2, 9, 135, 25)));

As you can see i addded a !QStyle::State_Active Case, but that didnt fixed it.
Someone can help me?

I haven't looked into this for you, but do you understand that with bitwise & operator using logical not !something is likely to be wrong? Do you intend bitwise not: & ~QStyle::State_Active here by any chance?

Yes you are right. Im not very familiar with Bitwise Operators. I changed my Code to following.

if (option.state & QStyle::State_Selected)
            painter->fillRect(option.rect, option.palette.highlight());

if (option.state & ~QStyle::State_Active)
            painter->fillRect(option.rect, option.palette.background());

But it seems that the second State overwrites the first State. So it always has now the background Color. How can i append both States?

I hope you don't get this the wrong way, but you should get familiar. It's basic data representation (in computers) and fundamental C/C++, so while not too often you're going to stumble upon it.

I changed my Code to following.
if (option.state & QStyle::State_Selected)
            painter->fillRect(option.rect, option.palette.highlight());

if (option.state & ~QStyle::State_Active)
            painter->fillRect(option.rect, option.palette.background());
But it seems that the second State overwrites the first State. So it always has now the background Color. How can i append both States?

With bitwise or. If I understand correctly what you want to do it'd be something like this:

if ((option.state & QStyle::State_Active) == QStyle::State_Active)
    painter->fillRect(option.rect, option.palette.background());
else if ((option.state & QStyle::State_Selected) == State_Selected)
    painter->fillRect(option.rect, option.palette.highlight());
else
    // No active, no selected

As a note often when working with bit masks you want to check the exact bits, because a given mask may span more than a single bit and they can overlap. E.g.: (option.state & QStyle::State_Selected) == QStyle::State_Selected
would mean "I want all the raised bits of QStyle::State_Selected be present in option.state."

Thanks Guys. I found out that there is no State that will work for me. State_Active selects every ItemDelegate in my TableView.

At the Moment i found something that works with QPalette. Its not exactly what i want, but i will try to fix this for my needs later.

Thanks for the Help.
