The "eventFilter is a virtual method of class QObject":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtcore/qobject.html#eventFilter. The example that I gave is for implementation at a class that inherits "QMainWindow":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/qmainwindow.html.

In my opinion you can achieve this behavior if you handle the focus event of QTableWidget using "eventFilter":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qobject.html#eventFilter and select the last row. The source code should be something similar to (please note that I have not tested it):

@
bool MainWindow::eventFilter(QObject *obj, QEvent *event)
{
if (obj == pMyTable)
{
if ( QEvent::FocusIn == event->type() )
{
pMyTable->selectRow(pMyTable->rowCount() - 1);
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
else
{
// pass the event on to the parent class
return QMainWindow::eventFilter(obj, event);
}
}
