HI..
i am new to QT,i want to know how to customize the listview in QT i.e i want to add multiple icon in single row.. etc.. i tried lot i am not getting how to do that..
i tried with Qlistwidget, in tat i can only insert single row with one image.. i am not able to place multiple icon with desired locations..
please assist me, which control is good listview or listwidget.
and how to customize the same according to my view
if you have any sample examples. please provide me the link.
Thanks
You can implement a delegate to customize the rendering of the items in your view.
From the model/view programming docs: delegates are responsible for rendering individual items in the views.
See the pixelator sample for example usage.
Take a look at QTableView or QTableWidget. You can insert the icons in the first two columns and the text in the third column. Or any other way you like it.
I guess you can use some delegates.
Have a look at http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/model-view-delegate.html
Hope it helps !

I have a group box or the like containing a combobox and some more widgets that shall not all be visible at the same time. Depending on the selection I want at the same place to be displayed a button or a line edit or a (second) combobox. So if combobox entry one is selected it shows the button, if entry two is selected it shows the line edit, if entry three is selected it shows the second combobox, while not showing the other two.
I know that I can do it all dynamically but this results in a lot of code lines. I want to use QT Designer and a grid layout and I can't see how to put two widgets at the same place and then make only one visible programmatically.
I hope I could explain properly.
I played with Qt Designer but could not place two widgets over one another in a grid layout.
Thanks for any help.
Thank you G.M.
Yes, I was looking for QStackedWidget. I wasn't aware of this at all. I tried it and it works easily out of the box.
I'm totally new to Qt, so I'd be glad to have a wide answer.
Here I drew up some model:
We have a kind of table that contains:
an integer value with a spinbox.
a cell with three(not specifically) grouped radio buttons
Editbox
A button that interacts with this particular editbox.
Also we have 2 buttons to add and remove items from the table.
I did some google search and found out that it can be done via QTableView.
Is there any way to put such complex structures into a cell? Must it be a separate class inherited from QTableView?
If you're going to have up to a hundred or maybe a few hundreds of elements in the table, then use QTableWidget.
If you're going to have too many elements (about thousands), then go for QTableView, and learn model-view programming.
The reason why I recommend QTableWidget is because you're a beginner. All you have to do there is create a widget, and use setCellWidget() and you're done.
If you have thousands of rows, then you're gonna have to draw the widgets yourself using QStyledItemDelegate, which will paint the widgets inside your QTableView. This is a very painful thing to do, but there's no way around it. The reasons you can find here.
I see at least three options to implement that in Qt:
Use a QtableView or QTableWidget and insert some custom controls in it. See comments made be other persons to your post
Use a QGridLayout and fill it with your controls by line and column
Make your own QWidget to store and manage the line elements (the spinbox, edit field, radio button) using a QHBoxLayout. You can design this in QtCreator, it can have it's own .ui. This could make it easy to handle the interaction between each QWidget of a line (directly handled by your QWidget class). Later, you can put an instance of it for every line you need in a QVBoxLayout.
Personnaly, I would go with the last option, but it may not work smartly if the controls of each line have different content/size (see comments), then first options should be prefered.
I am trying to use Qtreewidget as listview (like in C#) to display some data. As seen on the image below, while new datas displayed during the runtime, the widget doesn't focus on the last entry.That is what I want but couldn't find a method to make it focus on the last entry. In other words, I want it to be scrolled down to the last entry. Is there any way to do it or do I have to use something another to handle this ?
Thanks in advance.
Maybe this code will helps you:
QTreeWidget *mytree = new QTreeWidget(this);
...
mytree->scrollToBottom();
I am newbie to Qt. I have to display a chunk of data in a QTableView and filter it column wise. For this I have used QSortFilterProxyModel, but as per requirement each column of the QTableView should have a drop-down list which shows unique values in that column. On selection of any of these values in the drop-down, only the rows having that particular value in the column should be displayed in the QTableView (Like you can do in Excel).
How would I implement this?
I had the same issue a week ago
I found a tutorial explaining how to do it. see link below
http://programmingexamples.net/wiki/Qt/Delegates/ComboBoxDelegate
Now my problem is how to retrieve the value of a specific combobox.
I think it is such a complex things to do in C++ and Qt display a combobox into a tableView.
For being a web developer at first I can tell that web language are better suited to do thoses kind of things.
But still some time performance matter and I tried to do it in C++ with Qt but it is not as easy as it seems to be in Web language.
This is very general question, and if I try to explain it all it will take pages, so it's better if you read the Qt model/view architecture documentation.
You can create your own class inherited from QTableView to create your customized table view. You have to use delegates for drop down functions and all. so read the QItemDelegate class documentation and documentation on subclassing delegates as well.
If you want to display it always and not just when editing, I would suggest setting a widget for the specific column like described in this thread: Qt - QTableView - Clickable button in table row
I've got a QTableView for which I want to display the last column always in edit mode. (It's a QComboBox where the user should be able to always change the value.)
I think I've seen the solution in the Qt documentation, but I can't find it anymore. Is there a simple way of doing it?
I think I could archive this effect by using openPersistentEditor() for every cell, but I'm looking for a better way. (Like specifying it only one time for the whole column.)
One way to get the automatic editing behaviour is to call the view's setEditTriggers() function with the QAbstractItemView::AllEditTriggers value.
To display the contents of a given column in a certain way, take a look at QAbstractItemView::setItemDelegateForColumn(). This will let you specify a custom delegate just for those items that need it. However, it won't automatically create an editor widget for each of them (there could in principle be thousands of them), but you could use the delegate to render each item in a way that makes it look like an editor widget.
There are two possibilities:
Using setIndexWidget, but Trolltech writes:
This function should only be used to
display static content within the
visible area corresponding to an item
of data. If you want to display custom
dynamic content or implement a custom
editor widget, subclass QItemDelegate
instead.
(And it breaks the Model/View pattern…)
Or using a delegate's paint method. But here you have to implement everything like enabled/disabled elements yourself.
The QAbstractItemModel::flags virtual function is called to test if an item is editable (see Qt::ItemIsEditable). Take a look at Making the Model Editable in the Model/View Programming documentation.
I can't see an easy way to do this, but you might be able to manage by using a delegate. I honestly don't know exactly how it would work, but you should be able to get something working if you try hard enough. If you get a proper delegate, you should be able to set it on a whole view, one cell of a view, or just a column or row.
