Solved Setting different text when user starts editing QTreeWidgetItem

[Gitesh Yeole]

I have a tree which has item named like "abc (id=10, type=xyz)" Tree node is editable. I want user to allow only rename but not modify id and type part. So when user enters in edit mode user should see only "abc" which is editable.

Any suggestion how to do it.

You can get the QString from the index and show only required part of QString (may be using split) . When editing is completed just set back the newname and previous text (--+ (id=10, type=xyz)).

But I prefer QTableView over QTreeWidget for this.

One way I know is using QItemDelegate just want to check any other simple way

@Ratzz Yes this is what I want to do but where should I do as I am not aware of any signal which is emitted just before opening editor
