checkable items in QTableView

[cgorac]

Got QTableView with a column containing checkable items. In order to toggle corresponding check box, one need to click exactly over the check box; clicking over other parts of the same cell is not affecting the check box. In most of other cases, check box could be toggled clicking on accompanying text label, so - is there any way to force same behavior here?

Thanks.

You can connect the clicked() signal to a custom slot where you will toggle the check state yourself.

Maybe you should do something like

connect(tableView, SIGNAL(clicked(const QModelIndex & index )), this, SLOT(Handler));

connect(tableView, SIGNAL(clicked(const QModelIndex & index )), this, SLOT(Handler));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and check this checkbox manually ?

That method almost works, but has a big issue: when clicked on check box, the event gets processed twice, so actually we have inverse of default behavior: user could toggle check box clicking on given item anywhere except on the check box itself...

I think that you can remove the ItemIsUserCheckable flag from the model to disable one of the events. The checkbox should still be visible if you set data for Qt::CheckStateRole.

Yep - this is all rather ugly (moreover - now it is impossible to toggle check box using Space button), but it works now... Many thanks for both suggestions!

I think space causes the activated() signal to be emitted, so you can connect it to the same handler and it should work just fine.
