Remove the textfield near the checkable QTableView cells

[lmofallis]

Hello,

Is there a way to remove or hide the textfield near the checkbox on the QTableView?
I tried several things without any success.
System : Linux mint.
Qt version : 6.4.2

This feature is so ugly & annoying.

You have to use a custom QStyledItemDelegate: https://wiki.qt.io/Center_a_QCheckBox_or_Decoration_in_an_Itemview

Hi,

How did you put your checkbox there ?

[lmofallis]

There is a sample of my code :

QStandardItemModel *model = new QStandardItemModel(3, 3, this);

model->setHeaderData(0, Qt::Horizontal, tr("Select"));
model->setHeaderData(1, Qt::Horizontal, tr("Column 1"));
model->setHeaderData(2, Qt::Horizontal, tr("Column 2"));

for (int row = 0; row < model->rowCount(); row++) {

    QStandardItem *checkItem = new QStandardItem();
    checkItem->setCheckable(true);
    checkItem->setEditable(false);
    checkItem->setCheckState(Qt::Unchecked);
    model->setItem(row, 0, checkItem);

    model->setData(model->index(row, 1), tr("Row %1 Column 1").arg(row+1));
    model->setData(model->index(row, 2), tr("Row %1 Column 2").arg(row+1));
}

ui->tableView->setModel(model);
ui->tableView->setColumnWidth(0, 20);

@Christian-Ehrlicher

It's working.

But, I have 2 questions:
1- I'm not used to work with delegate. So Is is a good solution?
2- How can I minimize the column width to fit the checkbox?
