Qt6.2 TableView SelectionModel / Rectangle selection not working

denishessberger

Hi there,

I am trying to use a ItemSelectionModel in conjunction with a SelectionRectangle and can not get it to work.

According to the Qt6 documentation (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-controls2-selectionrectangle.html), this is a minimum example of how to get cell selection working, but nothing really seems to happen.

I am on Qt 6.2, Ubuntu 20.04.

Any hints?

import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Controls
import Qt.labs.qmlmodels 1.0
import QtQuick.Window

Window {
   width: 640
   height: 480
   visible: true
   title: qsTr("Hello World")

   TableView {
       id: tableView
       anchors.fill: parent
       clip: true

       model: TableModel {
           TableModelColumn { display: "name" }
           rows: [ { "name": "Harry" }, { "name": "Hedwig" } ]
       }

       selectionModel: ItemSelectionModel {
           model: tableView.model
       }

       delegate: Rectangle {
           implicitWidth: 100
           implicitHeight: 30
           color: selected ? "blue" : "lightgray"

           required property bool selected

           Text { text: display }
       }
   }

   SelectionRectangle {
       target: tableView
   }
}

This behavior is by design.
You need either to set tableView.interactive: false
or

SelectionRectangle { 
  selectionMode: SelectionRectangle.PressAndHold 
}

It's documented here.

Thanks!

Would be great if the example itself would also contain either interactive: false or the selectionMode.
