Table model / view editing issue

[jacek]

it does not work with QAbstractTableModel. Does it mean that QAbstractTableModel. is also not editable?

QAbstractTableModel is only an interface to any kind of a tabular model.

I can edit the values in the table and I would like the graphic be updated accordingly each time I change a value.

Provided that you have implemented your model properly, it should happen automatically.

void QAbstractItemModel::dataChanged ( const QModelIndex & topLeft, const QModelIndex & bottomRight ) [signal]
This signal is emitted whenever the data in an existing item changes. The affected items are those between topLeft and bottomRight inclusive (of the same parent).
Note that this signal must be emitted explicitly when reimplementing the setData() function.

This signal is properly emitted in my model:

bool
vadTableModel::setData(const QModelIndex &index, const QVariant &value, int role)
{
if (index.isValid() && role == Qt::EditRole) {
this->table[index.row()*C+index.column()] = value.toInt();
emit dataChanged(index, index);
return TRUE;
}
return FALSE;
}

but the question is: which slot of the QAbstractItemView subclass is this signal connected to?
because I have to overwrite this slot code to handle the modifications properly.

[jacek]

which slot of the QAbstractItemView subclass is this signal connected to?

This one, I guess:

void QAbstractItemView::dataChanged ( const QModelIndex & topLeft, const QModelIndex & bottomRight ) [virtual protected slot]
This slot is called when items are changed in the model. The changed items are those from topLeft to bottomRight inclusive. If just one item is changed topLeft == bottomRight.

Yes, I have read this in the doc and below is my code BUT:
- if I iconize the window and then deiconize it, it works and the changes in coordinates appear, which means that the paintEvent() is properly handled,
- but if I change the coordinates in the table view, the coordinates are really changed in the model but the graphic is not updated, and this message appears:

QPainter::begin: Widget painting can only begin as a result of a paintEvent
QPainter::setWindow(), painter not active

I really do not understand how it works! please help!

void
vadControlPolygon::dataChanged(const QModelIndex &topLeft, const QModelIndex &bottomRight)
{
this->paint();
}

void
vadControlPolygon:aintEvent(QPaintEvent *event)
{
this->paint();
}

void
vadControlPolygon:aint()
{
QPainter painter(this->viewport());
painter.setWindow(0, 0, 100, 100);
QStyleOptionViewItem option;
this->polygon.setPoints(3,
this->model()->data(this->model()->index(0, 0)).toInt(),
this->model()->data(this->model()->index(0, 1)).toInt(),
this->model()->data(this->model()->index(1, 0)).toInt(),
this->model()->data(this->model()->index(1, 1)).toInt(),
this->model()->data(this->model()->index(2, 0)).toInt(),
this->model()->data(this->model()->index(2, 1)).toInt()
);
painter.drawPolygon(this->polygon);
for (int i=0 ; i<3 ; i++)
this->itemDelegate()->paint(&painter, option, this->model()->index(i, 0));
}

My problems have been solved simply by adding the following line:
setDirtyRegion(viewport()->rect());
Regards.

[jacek]

void
vadControlPolygon::dataChanged(const QModelIndex &topLeft, const QModelIndex &bottomRight)
{
this->paint();
}

This should be something like:

void
vadControlPolygon::dataChanged(const QModelIndex &topLeft, const QModelIndex &bottomRight)
{
  QRect rect( calculateChangeRegion( topLeft, bottmRight ) );
  update( rect );
}

void
vadControlPolygon::dataChanged(const QModelIndex &topLeft, const QModelIndex &bottomRight)
{
  QRect rect( calculateChangeRegion( topLeft, bottmRight ) );
  update( rect );
}
