QtCore.Qt.ItemIsUserCheckable

Nightmaster

Hi All

So i have some check boxes (using QtCore) in a QTableWidget that are added via QTableWidgetitem. Thing is I can't see how to make them exclusive, currently a user can check as many boxes as they like.
I did try a qactiongroup but got the following error

"TypeError: QActionGroup(QObject): argument 1 has unexpected type 'QTableWidgetItem'"

This is my code..

        for data in self.get_appts:
            self.table.setRowCount(len(self.get_appts))
            self.table.setColumnCount(len(self.get_appts[0]))
            self.table.setItem(self.tab_row, 0, QTableWidgetItem(data[1]))
            self.table.setItem(self.tab_row, 1,QTableWidgetItem(data[2]))
            self.table.setItem(self.tab_row, 2, QTableWidgetItem(data[3]))
            self.table.setItem(self.tab_row, 3, QTableWidgetItem(data[4]))
            self.table.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(["Start Time", "End Time", "Location", "Doctor", "Select one"])
            self.table.setEditTriggers(QAbstractItemView.NoEditTriggers)
            self.check_item = QTableWidgetItem(QtCore.Qt.ItemIsUserCheckable | QtCore.Qt.ItemIsEnabled)
            self.check_item.setCheckState(QtCore.Qt.Unchecked)
            qa = QActionGroup(self.check_item)
            qa.setExclusive(True)
            self.table.setItem(self.tab_row, 4, self.check_item)

Hi,

From the top of my head, you can't do that with your current setup.
If you really need a table view, then you will have to implement a custom table model that will handle the exclusiveness part.

It's probably easier to use the itemChanged signal to detect when an item is checked, and uncheck the previous item in a slot.

Thank both, i changed and just used a QCheckBox and setCellWidget, it is working for what i need it to do.

@Nightmaster
If you use your own QCheckBoxes you can use QButtonGroup Class to add exclusiveness if you want.

@JonB Yep have done that.

Thanks :)
