how to show cursor in a particular cell of QTableWidget in pyQt

Qt Enthusiast

I am using following PyQt code and The requirement the cursor should blink at the start of cell 0,1

   import sys 
   from PyQt4.QtCore import *
   from PyQt4.QtGui import *

   data = {'col1':['1','2','3'], 'col2':['4','5','6'], 'col3':['7','8','9']}

    class MyTable(QTableWidget):
       def __init__(self, data, *args):
           QTableWidget.__init__(self, *args)
           self.data = data
           self.setmydata()
           self.resizeColumnsToContents()
           self.resizeRowsToContents()
            self.setCursorPosition()


        def setmydata(self):

            horHeaders = []
            for n, key in enumerate(sorted(self.data.keys())):
                horHeaders.append(key)
                for m, item in enumerate(self.data[key]):
                  newitem = QWidget()
                  self.setCellWidget(m, n, newitem)
                  self.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(horHeaders)

        def setCursorPosition(self):
             wid = self.cellWidget(0,1)
             wid.setCursor(QCursor(Qt.WaitCursor))
             wid.setFocus()
            

       The requirement is to blink the cursor at the start of cell  0,1. The lines in method setCursorPosition does not help me  . Can some one help me with the solution

Hi,

Isn't that mostly the same question as here ?

Qt Enthusiast

Can any one help me here

You're putting an empty widget here so there's no sense in putting a cursor there.

What's the goal of the widget ?

Again, it's seems a duplicate of your other thread.

This is my Example , Actually it QTextBrowser and the goal of the project is to when user does an action , the cursor should blink at start of Qtextbrower

import sys
from PyQt4.QtCore import *
from PyQt4.QtGui import *

data = {'col1':['1','2','3'], 'col2':['4','5','6'], 'col3':['7','8','9']}

class MyTable(QTableWidget):
   def __init__(self, data, *args):
       QTableWidget.__init__(self, *args)
       self.data = data
       self.setmydata()
       self.resizeColumnsToContents()
       self.resizeRowsToContents()
        self.setCursorPosition()


    def setmydata(self):

        horHeaders = []
        for n, key in enumerate(sorted(self.data.keys())):
            horHeaders.append(key)
            for m, item in enumerate(self.data[key]):
              newitem = QTextBrowser()
              newitem.setText("text")
              self.setCellWidget(m, n, newitem)
              self.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(horHeaders)

    def setCursorPosition(self):
         wid = self.cellWidget(0,1)
         wid.setCursor(QCursor(Qt.WaitCursor))
         wid.setFocus()
        

   The requirement is to blink the cursor at the start of cell  0,1. The lines in method setCursorPosition does not help me  . Can some one help me with the solution

Again, why are you using QTextBrowser in a cell to show text data ?

If you want to use it as an editor, make a custom QStyledItemDelegate for that. Based on your code, there's no reason to use a cell widget.

@SGaist

Iit is legacy code and I can't change that

SGaist

You do realize that QTextBrowser is a read-only widget ?
