Highlight row in treeview

[supergillis]

Is it possible to highlight a row in a treeview?

I tried doing this by trying to make my own QItemDelegate, but I have absolutely no idea how to do it :s

By saying "highlight a row" do you mean that the whole row should be selected (but not a single cell)? If yes, then use

yourTableView->setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView::SelectRows).

yourTableView->setSelectionBehavior(QAbstractItemView::SelectRows).

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Sorry if I misunderstood.

I'm not sure what you mean either. By default a QTreeView/QTreeWidget will allow you to highlight individual cells. If you want that to go across all cells in a row do the following

treeview.setAllColumnsShowFocus(True)

treeview.setAllColumnsShowFocus(True)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Hopefully thats what you're looking for, otherwise you'll need to clarify. Though it doesnt sound like you'll need a delegate, thats for some seriously advanced stuff

Oh no, that's not what I meant, sorry.

What I want to do is to give a background color to a specific row. I'm making a music player and I have a list of songs but I want to make clear which song is currently playing...

Thanks in advance,

Hi, if you have a view, you probably also have a model. In Model::data (), use Qt::BackgroundRole and return the color you like.

I have tried that before, but it only shows the color when you hover over the row...

You could have a look into the sources of QAbstractItemView::setAlternatingRowColors(). It is not exactly what you want, but maybe it can give you some ideas.
