How to prevent right mouse clicking to select item in QTableView?

[A Former User]

Hi guys,

I am using QTableView in my project, and i implemented a context menu in the QTableView.
the problem is that: when i clicked right mouse button to pop up context menu, the item in the table will be selected too.
i don't wanna item is selected when i clicked right mouse button.
so, is there any swither or something else to do it?

Thanks.

Subclass QTableView and reimplement mousePressEvent so that when right click event happens you just stop. Something like (might not be all correctly, it's just a sketch):

@
void MyClass::mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent *e) {
if(e->button() == Qt::RightMouseButton) {
return;
} else {
QTableView::mousePressEvent(e);
}
}

    view->setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView::SelectRows);
    view->setSelectionMode(QAbstractItemView::SingleSelection);
