Editable TableViewColumn and Delegate

[MTOLANI]

Hi,
I am new to QML and trying to use TableViewColumn and Delegate
I am using TextEdit inside delgate but when I edit the text the changes are not being reflected to the backend
I tried using onTextChanged, onEditingChanged but nothing works
Please help

FocusScope {
    property alias model: tableView1.model

    Rectangle {
        anchors.fill: parent
        color: "#2e2e2e"

        TreeView {
            id: tableView1
            anchors.fill: parent
            anchors.margins: 20

            TableViewColumn {
                role: "name"
                title: qsTr("Name")
                width: 150
            }
            TableViewColumn {
                role: "default"
                title: qsTr("Default Value")
                width: 150
                delegate:
                    TextEdit {
                    text: styleData.value
                   
                }
            }
            TableViewColumn {
                role: "map"
                title: qsTr("Value Map")
                width: 300
                delegate: Row {
                    spacing: 10
                    Repeater {
                        model: styleData.value
                        delegate: Row {
                            TextEdit {
                                text: name + "="
                            }
                            TextEdit {
                                text: value
                                font.bold: variable
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }

            }
        }
    }
}

Have a look at this: https://forum.qt.io/topic/89143/help-with-qml-tableview

@maxwell31 I'm biased but the solution of modifying the model doesn't sound very clean to me when you can do it without modification to the model.

[maxwell31]

Not sure I understand what you mean. I think the model should be modified. Maybe have a look at http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/model-view-programming.html

[GrecKo]

@maxwell31 Sorry my remark wasn't very clear :)

Modified as in add an updateValue method when the delegate can already call setData itself automatically when doing model.yourRole = newValue

[maxwell31]

True. You should be able to use setData, but the problem might be to get the right role number. The prototype is

setData(const QModelIndex & index, const QVariant & value, int role = Qt::EditRole)

and I don't know how to use the role name for the integer. Please tell me when you solved that

[GrecKo]

@maxwell31
Doing model.roleName = newValue in the QML delegate is the same as doing myModel.setData(myModel.index(row, 0), newValue, roleNumber) except that you don't have to figure out the role number.

@GrecKo
Ah, good to know

Hi,

I tried the above it works. Thank you !
I am able to edit existing values.
Is there a way to add values in new row?

[GrecKo]

@MTOLANI That's specific to the model you are using.
