How to get cell contents prior to they are changed in QTableWidget?
-
Hi,
So suppose I have a QTableWidget with many cells. Consider a particular cell with value say "String1".
Now the user double clicks & edits the value to say "String2".What I want is that QTableWidget should emit a SIGNAL when the user has successfully edited the cell & pass the previous value i.e. "String1" to the connected SLOT. Now let me add that I do not want the SIGNAL to be emitted if the cell is merely selected or double clicked, but only when it is edited.
You may ask why I want this. This is because I am checking the new value "String2" for some conditions; if it is OK then I let "String2" remain in the cell, but if it does not satisfy my conditions then I want the cell to have "String1" instead.
I have used QTableWidget a little too much in my whole program, so it might not be possible to use Model/View framework now.
Any suggestion is welcome.
Thanks! -
Hi,
Maybe use a custom QStyledItemDelegate and reimplement setModelData

Hi SGaist,
What you are suggesting is for QTableView (I think?) & I have used QTableWidget everywhere in my application. So it might be very difficult to shift to QTableView & may create bugs.
Any way to get the desired results with QTableWidget?

QTableWidget is a QTableView with an internal model, so AFAIK there's nothing that forbids you to use custom item delegates.
You'll simply access the underlying model of QTableWidget.
