QCheckBox in QTableView: how to avoid selection menu

[Mark81]

I put checkboxes in a column of my QTableView. For that column I set the following flags: Qt::ItemIsEnabled | Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable | Qt::ItemIsSelectable | Qt::ItemIsEditable; and in the data() function I handled the CheckStateRole:

case Qt::CheckStateRole:
    switch (index.column())
    {
        case COL_CHECKBOX: return item.enabled ? Qt::Checked : Qt::Unchecked;
        default: return QVariant();
    }

It works, but when I try to (un)flag the checkbox it shows a menu with "True" and "False" items. It's useless for me... I just want to (un)check the QCheckBox with one click. Is there a way to do this?

Looks like you return something for COL_CHECKBOX and Qt::EditRole (or Qt::DisplayRole)

@Christian-Ehrlicher Yes, I return something only for Qt:EditRole in order to read data from my code. Removing it, it now activate a line edit to write something... still no way to click the checkbox!

Qt::ItemIsEditable

I'm not sure but can you try to remove this for COL_CHECKBOX?

Removing the Qt::ItemIsEditable from the checkbox column just prevent any further changes to the cell's value.
