[PyQt] QtableView Header. How to add top-right small button to hide/show column with checked/unchecked Checkboxes?

[Ithrayen]

With PyQt4, I am using a QtableView with more than 10 columns. The user must have the choice of showing/hiding a column.

This is generally done by adding a small button in the top-right of the table's header. The button shows a menu with checked/unchecked Checkboxes allowing to hide/show columns.

This is an example of a Sqlite-Manager Table :http://williamsportwebdeveloper.com/cgi/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/SQLiteManager.png.

So, I wonder how can I do the same with PyQt's QtableView?

Thanks,

I have not used PyQt. From Qt C++ perspective, you can get Header view for TableView and implement your own delegate to have checkboxes. Based on the actions on the delegate you can hide/show columns you want.

Another possibility is to make two components separately

1. Header Component and View Component
2. Show them in vertical layout. You can handle the action of header component.
