A possible solution for column splitting in QTableWidget

gigi

Hi,
I must implement a table in which every column must be subdivided into three subcolumns starting from a given row. That is, for every column I've one numeric value in the first three rows and three values in the next ones.

I have read that the columns of a QTableWidget cannot be splitted. So, I think a possible solution could be the use of a widget (having, for example, three line edits) for the cells with three numeric values, but I don't know if it's the correct approach. Is it the only way to solve my problem ? Is there any other possible and more elegant solution ?

Thanks in advance
Luigi

Hi there,
Interesting question and I think the answer lies in the use of delegates. For every cell or for every cell in a column you can set a different delegate. In this delegate you might be able to set a new table to fill. Never ever done it myself by the way, so it's just a thought.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Yes the answer is to use a delegate to achieve the same. You can also have a look "Qt-Grid-View":http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/Qt+Grid+View?content=145913 and download the source code to get a hint about the implementation.

Thank you for your quick reply, I'll try with delegates and have a look at Qt-Grid-View.
