Over which Header Section SIGNAL(customContextMenuRequested(qpoint&)) was generated

Hi All,

This is my first post.

Aim: Display custom menu on right clicking horizontal header of QTableView derived class. This menu will be dynamically populated with custom actionWidgets depending on the Section clicked.

Problem: Not able to get header section index which was right clicked.

Slot name:
@
void myTableViewClass::OnHorzHeaderRightClicked(const QPoint& _qptPosition)
{
QHeaderView * pHeaderView = horizontalHeader();

    //Attempt (1).
    QModelIndex qmiSectionIndex = pHeaderView->indexAt(_qptPosition);// Cannot access protected member.

    //Attempt (2). followed: <http://lists.trolltech.com/qt-interest/2004-09/thread01077-0.html>
    for (int i = 0; i < pHeaderView ->count(); ++i)
    {
       QRect rect = pHeaderView ->sectionRect(i); // <sectionRect(i) no longer seems to be supported>
       if (rect.contains(ev->pos()))
            {
                   cout << "context event in section " << i << endl;
                    return;
            }
     }

     //Attempt (3).
     pHeaderView ->sectionAt(_qptPosition.x()); // <sectionAt() no longer seems to be supported>

}

I am new at Qt and am not sure if I'm missing some really obvious thing. Kindly help. Thanks in advance

Hi All,

I got the section index using the SectionDoubleClicked slot of Horizontal Header class. I could not proceed further with Right click so I switched to Double click instead.

I am adding the code for the same, hope it proves to be any help to others new to Qt.

In the form class containing the QTableView add:
@connect(ui->m_pGridView->horizontalHeader(), SIGNAL(sectionDoubleClicked(int)),
this, SLOT(OnHorzHeaderSectionDblClicked(int)));@
Implement the Slot as:
@void CGridView_CM::OnHorzHeaderSectionDblClicked(int _iSectionIndex)
{
QVariant qvSectionHeader = m_pGridModel->headerData(_iSectionIndex, Qt::Horizontal);
//TODO: Get screen coordinates of the double click
//TODO: Show a custom context menu
}
