Reindexing items in Tablewidgets

Kushan

In my Qt c++ application I have 2 Qtablewidgets one which has a set of UserIds and the other table whcih has the respective user names! I should be able to change the ids and when the button is clicked the names should rearrange based on the ids I changed.
following is my code

MainWindow.h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QMainWindow>

namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
Q_OBJECT

public:
QStringList Headers1;
QStringList Headers2;

QStringList List1;
QStringList List2;

explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
~MainWindow();

private slots:
void on_pushButtonclicked();

private:
Ui::MainWindow *ui;
};

#endif // MAINWINDOW_H

MainWindow.cpp

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

ui->tableWidget->setRowCount(10);
ui->tableWidget->setColumnCount(1);

ui->tableWidget_2->setRowCount(10);
ui->tableWidget_2->setColumnCount(1);

ui->tableWidget->setColumnWidth(0,100);


ui->tableWidget_2->setColumnWidth(0,150);

Headers1<<"UserId";
     Headers2<<"UserNames";
     ui->tableWidget->setHorizontalHeaderLabels(Headers1);
     ui->tableWidget_2->setHorizontalHeaderLabels(Headers2);

}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::on_pushButtonclicked()
{
List1<<"0"<<"1"<<"2"<<"3"<<"4"<<"5"<<"6"<<"7"<<"8"<<"9";
List2<<"John"<<"Smith"<<"Mary"<<"Anne"<<"Kamal"<<"Victor"<<"Peter"<<"Sunil"<<"Juanna"<<"Jennifer";

for(int i=0;i<List1.size();i++){
    ui->tableWidget->setItem(i,0,new QTableWidgetItem(List1[i]));
}


for(int i=0;i<List2.size();i++){
    ui->tableWidget_2->setItem(i,0,new QTableWidgetItem(List2[i]));
}

}
As it can be seen from the code username John corresponds to userID 0 and smith corresponds to userID 1 and so on.

I want to change the order of userIDs by editing Qtablewidget.(currently userIDs are displayed from 0 to 9). and when a button is clicked(not defined in my code) I want to rearrange the usernames based on how the userIDs were edited.

i.e if I put number 7 to position of 1 and put number 1 to position of 7 and the button is clicked the 2nd tablewidget should show Sunil as the 2nd element (previous position of Smith) and Smith in the 8th position(previous position of Sunil)

How can I achieve this?

Hi,

You should rather consider using a custom QAbstractItemModel which wraps your custom data. That would avoid such syncing mechanism.

@SGaist Hi I want to implement a method my self! Can't I write a method to get the changed indexes and comapare with the initial indices and do something?

Sure you can, loop through the content of the left QTableWidget and update the content of the right table to match. But again, you seem to overcomplicate things.
