[Solved] PySide 1.1.0: Putting a checkbox in horizontalHeader of QTableWidget

karnisov

I would like to put a checkbox in the horizontal header of my tablewidget. Since the base object type is QTableWidgetItem, I tried this:
@item = QtGui.QTableWidgetItem()
item.setCheckState(QtCore.Qt.Checked)
self.tableWidget.setHorizontalHeaderItem(1, item)
@

and I also tried this:

@self.tableWidget.horizontalHeaderItem(1).setCheckState(QtCore.Qt.Checked)
@

Neither of them put a checkbox in the horizontal header. Any suggestions on how to get a checkbox in the horizontal header?

AFAIK, you can only do that by creating the checkbox as a child of the QHeaderView, and then manually reposition it to keep it in the right location.

Thanks, that suggestion worked well. Here's a code sample in case anyone else wants to do something similar:

@class custom_table(QtGui.QTableWidget):

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        QtGui.QTableWidget.__init__(self, parent)
        self.chkbox1 = QtGui.QCheckBox(self.horizontalHeader())

    def resizeEvent(self, event=None):
        super().resizeEvent(event)
        self.chkbox1.setGeometry(QtCore.QRect((self.columnWidth(0)/2), 2, 16, 17))@

The "(self.columnWidth(0)/2)" keeps the checkbox in the middle of the column header.
