Is it possible to make QTableWidget copyable?

[viniltc]

Hi,

I have a basic question, is it possible to make QTableWidget cells copyable?

For ex, I wonder if there is a feature to select cells on QTableWidget and copy contents into a spreadsheet.

@viniltc
In a word: you cannot/would not want to copy QTableWidget cells (with all their layout etc.), but you can indeed certainly copy the data in the cells easily. Just iterate the table rows/columns outputting data(index(row, column)) e.g. to a CSV file.

Hi,

Do you mean doing Ctrl+C from your QTableWidget and Ctrl+V in Excel ?

@SGaist Hi,
Yes, at present I cant copy multiple cell contents from the QTableWidget

[SGaist]

Can you be more precise ?

"Can't" can mean several different things like:

• can't select multiple cells
• can't paste
  etc.

I would assume then that QAbstractItemView::selectionMode() is QAbstractItemView::SingleSelection

@SGaist

I can select multiple cells from the QTableWidget but can't right-click and copy contents from it.

It's up to you to implement a contextual menu for that. See customContextMenuRequested.
