Using QItemDelegate with QAbstractTableModel - qt

Question

I have a QAbstractItemModel and a QItemDelegate and here is my problem. The Delegate does nothing. Its subroutines are being called but nothing happens.
Here is what I would like to see in my table.
Text : QComboBox : Text : Text : QProgressBar
where : is a column seperator.

}
The only issue I'm aware of is the ModelAction::setData() function is incomplete. I have to go back and edit the data classes that this model displays before I can complete that subroutine. Still the comboboxes and progressbars should still display, just not do anything.
At this point I only see the id numbers and my test text "bob" for each row in the table. The QComboBox and QProgressBar are not rendered at all.
Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

The delegate functions you implemented are for editors. They are not displayed when you are not editing an item. It seems you may want QAbstractItemView::setIndexWidget instead of the delegate.

Answer 2

The createEditor method is only called after certain events. For example, when you double-click a cell,... As buck pointed out, you've got to use setIndexWidget.
