Deleting row from QTableWidget and from Sqlite database

[Risver]

Hi, I have a QTableWidget which is loading data from my Sqlite database. I need to make a delete selected row mechanism, but i don't know how to do this. Please help.

        QTableWidgetItem * url = new QTableWidgetItem;
        QTableWidgetItem * email = new QTableWidgetItem;
        QTableWidgetItem * password = new QTableWidgetItem;

        url->setText(qry.value(1).toString());
        email->setText(qry.value(1).toString());
        password->setText(qry.value(1).toString());

        ui->tableWidget->setItem(rowCount, 0, url);
        ui->tableWidget->setItem(rowCount, 1, email);
        ui->tableWidget->setItem(rowCount, 2, password);

        rowCount++;

Thank you in advance!

@Risver Why don't you use QTableView with a proper model?

Back to your question: what exactly are you asking? To delete a row from a table in a SQL database you use https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_delete.asp . So, what is unclear?

[Risver]

@jsulm
I read that in QTableView you cannot delete the rows.
Yes, I know that i can use SQL query but i need to deleting the row after index. For example when i delete the 1 row, the second row will be the first with id = 2.

[jsulm]

@Risver said in Deleting row from QTableWidget and from Sqlite database:

I read that in QTableView you cannot delete the rows

Because that is the job of the model, not view.
See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsqltablemodel.html#removeRows

[Risver]

@jsulm
Okey i swapped the QTableWidget to QTableView. Now it looks like:

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

#include <QMessageBox>

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent)
    , ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this); 
    setWindowFlags(Qt::MSWindowsFixedSizeDialogHint);

    m_logWindow = new login(this);
    m_regWindow = new signup(this);

    connect(m_logWindow,&login::LoginSuccess, this, &MainWindow::nextWindow);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
    delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::on_login_clicked()
{
    m_logWindow->show();
}

void MainWindow::on_signup_clicked()
{
    m_regWindow->show();
}

void MainWindow::nextWindow(QString base)
{
    ui->stackedWidget->setCurrentIndex(1);
    readList(base);
    Bufferbase = base;
}

void MainWindow::readList(QString base)
{
    m_db.setDatabaseName("DiffPass.sqlite");

    QSqlQuery qry(m_db);
    QString sBuffer = "SELECT * FROM "+base;
    qry.exec(sBuffer);

    querymodel = new QSqlQueryModel();
    querymodel -> setQuery(sBuffer);
    ui -> tableView -> setModel(querymodel);
}

void MainWindow::on_remove_clicked()
{
    
}

And now how can i detect the selected row signal ?

What about https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtableview.html#selectionChanged ?

[Risver]

@jsulm
Okay and how can i connect it with the button_clicked signal?

You won't
When you react on the button clicked signal, get the current selection from the view and delete the selected rows in the model.

Something like this ?

void MainWindow::on_remove_clicked()
{
    int selectedRow = ui->tableView->selectionModel()->currentIndex().row();
    
}

[Christian Ehrlicher]

@Risver Yes.

[Risver]

@Christian-Ehrlicher
Now when i'm trying to implement QSqlTableModel::deleteRowFromTable the debugger says the deleteRowFromTable is a protected member of QSqlTableModel

[jsulm]

@Risver https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsqltablemodel.html#removeRows

[Risver]

@jsulm
Could you give some example ?

[jsulm]

@Risver Example?

model->removeRows(row, 1);

[Risver]

@jsulm
Now i have error - reference to type 'const QModelIndex' could not bind to an rvalue of type 'int'.
I think i have to refer to QModelIndex but i don't know how. I have a QSqlQueryModel. Should i change it to QAbstractTableModel ?

[jsulm]

@Risver Please show how you're calling removeRows
And what Qt version do you use?

[Risver]

@jsulm

void MainWindow::on_remove_clicked()
{

    if (ui->tableView->selectionModel()->hasSelection())
    {
        int addressId = ui->tableView->selectionModel()->currentIndex().row();
        querymodel->removeRow(addressId, 1);
        qDebug() << addressId;
    }
}

The QT version is 5.0.2

[jsulm]

@Risver said in Deleting row from QTableWidget and from Sqlite database:

QT version is 5.0.2

Check the documentation for removeRows() in that Qt version.
Probably it has a different signature.

Is there a reason why you're using such an ancient version?

I just installed it a while time ago.

Before you spend any more time on this. Qt5 is already up to 5.15, unless you have some deep reason for wanting 5.0 I would uninstall and get such an up-to-date version.
