Floating QCalendarWidget over QTableView cell in delegate

gabor53

Hi,

I have a QStyledItemDelegate which is supposed to display a QCalendarWidget in table cell. Currently it looks like this:

It is working, but it is impossible to use it as it is too small. Is it possible to "float" the QCalendarWidget over several cells creating a usable size?
This is the code I currently have:

#include "adoptdatefixdelegate.h"

adoptDateFixDelegate::adoptDateFixDelegate(QObject* parent) : QStyledItemDelegate(parent) {

}

QWidget* adoptDateFixDelegate::createEditor(QWidget* parent, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index) const {

  Q_UNUSED(option);
  Q_UNUSED(index);

  QWidget* ca = new QWidget( parent );

  QCalendarWidget* adoptDateWidget = new QCalendarWidget(ca);
  adoptDateWidget->setStyleSheet ("background-color:rgb(255,217,229);" );
//  adoptDateWidget->setMaximumWidth (100);
//  adoptDateWidget->setMinimumWidth (100);
//  adoptDateWidget->setMaximumHeight (30);
//  adoptDateWidget->setMinimumHeight (30);

  QDate date;
  date = adoptDateWidget->selectedDate ();

//  adoptDateWidget->setDateTextFormat (date, "MM/DD/YYYY");

  QFont calFont("Arial", 14);
  adoptDateWidget->setFont (calFont);

  adoptDateWidget->setSizePolicy (QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);

  QVBoxLayout* adoptLayout = new QVBoxLayout;

  adoptLayout->addWidget (adoptDateWidget, 0, Qt::AlignCenter);
  adoptLayout->setMargin (2);

  ca->setLayout (adoptLayout);

  return ca;
}

Thank you for your help.

Hi
What about using a dialog ?
When user click in cell - you pop a dialog and let him choose
a date. On ok, you close the dialog.
Creating a floating QCalendarWidget would require some
clever coding to close at the right times. like when scrolling etc.
