Detailed Description

The QTableWidget class provides an item-based table view with a default model.

Table widgets provide standard table display facilities for applications. The items in a QTableWidget are provided by QTableWidgetItem.

If you want a table that uses your own data model you should use QTableView rather than this class.

Table widgets can be constructed with the required numbers of rows and columns:

        tableWidget = new QTableWidget(12, 3, this);

Alternatively, tables can be constructed without a given size and resized later:

        tableWidget = new QTableWidget(this);
        tableWidget->setRowCount(10);
        tableWidget->setColumnCount(5);

Items are created ouside the table (with no parent widget) and inserted into the table with setItem():

        QTableWidgetItem *newItem = new QTableWidgetItem(tr("%1").arg(
            (row+1)*(column+1)));
        tableWidget->setItem(row, column, newItem);

Tables can be given both horizontal and vertical headers. The simplest way to create the headers is to supply a list of strings to the setHorizontalHeaderLabels() and setVerticalHeaderLabels() functions. These will provide simple textual headers for the table's columns and rows. More sophisticated headers can be created from existing table items that are usually constructed outside the table. For example, we can construct a table item with an icon and aligned text, and use it as the header for a particular column:

        QTableWidgetItem *cubesHeaderItem = new QTableWidgetItem(tr("Cubes"));
        cubesHeaderItem->setIcon(QIcon(QPixmap(":/Images/cubed.png")));
        cubesHeaderItem->setTextAlignment(Qt::AlignVCenter);

The number of rows in the table can be found with rowCount(), and the number of columns with columnCount(). The table can be cleared with the clear() function.

See also QTableWidgetItem and Model/View Programming.

Member Function Documentation

QTableWidget::QTableWidget ( QWidget * parent = 0 )

Creates a new table view with the given parent.

QTableWidget::QTableWidget ( int rows, int columns, QWidget * parent = 0 )

Creates a new table view with the given rows and columns, and with the given parent.

QTableWidget::~QTableWidget ()

Destroys this QTableWidget.

void QTableWidget::clear ()   [slot]

Removes all items and selections in the view.

void QTableWidget::closePersistentEditor ( QTableWidgetItem * item )

Closes the persistent editor for item.

See also openPersistentEditor().

int QTableWidget::column ( const QTableWidgetItem * item ) const

Returns the column for the item.

int QTableWidget::currentColumn () const

Returns the column of the current item.

QTableWidgetItem * QTableWidget::currentItem () const

Returns the current item.

void QTableWidget::currentItemChanged ( QTableWidgetItem * current, QTableWidgetItem * previous )   [signal]

This signal is emitted whenever the current item changes. The previous item is the item that previously had the focus, current is the new current item.

int QTableWidget::currentRow () const

Returns the row of the current item.

QList<QTableWidgetItem *> QTableWidget::findItems ( const QRegExp & rx ) const

Finds items that matches the rx.

QTableWidgetItem * QTableWidget::horizontalHeaderItem ( int column ) const

Returns the horizontal header item for column column.

void QTableWidget::insertColumn ( int column )   [slot]

Inserts an empty column into the table at column.

void QTableWidget::insertRow ( int row )   [slot]

Inserts an empty row into the table at row.

bool QTableWidget::isItemSelected ( const QTableWidgetItem * item ) const

Returns true if the item is selected, otherwise returns false.

QTableWidgetItem * QTableWidget::item ( int row, int column ) const

Returns the item for the given row and column.

See also setItem().

void QTableWidget::itemActivated ( QTableWidgetItem * item )   [signal]

This signal is emitted when the item has been activated

QTableWidgetItem * QTableWidget::itemAt ( const QPoint & p ) const

Returns a pointer to the item at the coordinates p.

QTableWidgetItem * QTableWidget::itemAt ( int x, int y ) const

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

void QTableWidget::itemChanged ( QTableWidgetItem * item )   [signal]

void QTableWidget::itemEntered ( QTableWidgetItem * item )   [signal]

This signal is emitted when the mouse cursor enters an item. The item is the item entered.

This signal is only emitted when mouseTracking is turned on, or when a mouse button is pressed while moving into an item.

void QTableWidget::itemPressed ( QTableWidgetItem * item )   [signal]

const QTableWidgetItem * QTableWidget::itemPrototype () const

void QTableWidget::itemSelectionChanged ()   [signal]

This signal is emitted whenever the selection changes.

See also selectedItems() and isItemSelected().

void QTableWidget::openPersistentEditor ( QTableWidgetItem * item )
