Select QTableWidget row when right-clicked

hbatalha

I want to know if there is a way to select a QTableWidget row only when you right-click on it that shows a context menu and then deselect it after context menu disappears.
I want the table to keep the table setSelectionMode to QAbstractItemView::NoSelection and changes it when I customContextMenuRequested and when that is done it goes back to NoSelection mode.

Hi,

One thing that comes to mind is to interact with the selection model. When you right click, use it directly (not tested though).

I solved the problem by doing this:

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
        connect(ui->table, &QTableWidget::customContextMenuRequested, this, &MainWindow::popupMenuTableShow);

    ui->table->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::NoSelection);
    ui->table->setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
    ui->table->setSelectionBehavior(QTableWidget::SelectRows);
    ui->table->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu);

}


//the function
void MainWindow::popupMenuTableShow(const QPoint &pos)
{
    QTableWidgetItem *item = ui->table->itemAt(pos);
                          
        if(item != nullptr)
        {    
            int i = item->row();    
    
            ui->table->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::SingleSelection);    
            ui->table->selectRow(i);
        
            QMenu* contextMenu = new QMenu(this);
            contextMenu->deleteLater(); 
    
            connect(contextMenu, &QMenu::aboutToHide, [this]()
            {
                ui->table->selectionModel()->clear();
    
                ui->table->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::NoSelection);
            });

//                ...the rest of the function

          }

}
