QCombobox as QTableView delegate

[wysota]

You can use setIndexWidget() but be aware of two things:
1. the widgets will not be tied to your model in any way - they will just occupy space in the table view and you have to interconnect them with your model by yourself
2. if you add to many such widgets, everything will become slow as hell.

An alternative is to have a delegate that will use QStyle API to render the looks of a combobox in non-edit mode and will create a real combobox only when a particular cell is edited. It's more work but a much better result.

Hello,

Thank you for yout ideas.
@Tavit
I would like to solve my problem using a Model View solution, because using QTableWidget would case a lot of other programming problems, so it would be tha last way what I would choose.

@wysota
I will check it.
Now I have done:

ui->tableViewFuses->openPersistentEditor(fuseModel->index(i, 1));

ui->tableViewFuses->openPersistentEditor(fuseModel->index(i, 1));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and now all of my comboboxes and checkboxes are visible, but under the checkboxes the value of the binary field is visible too:
qt..png

Make your editor fill its background to avoid this effect.

I have set autoFillBackground on my tableview, btu still the same issue.
I have overridden the following member of the QItemDelegate:
createEditor. setEditorData, setModelData, updateEditorGeometry
In which function should I fill the background?
Or should I reimplement the painte member too?

I have set autoFillBackground on my tableview, btu still the same issue.

The editor, not the view.

Thank you very much it works fine.

So summarize my problem, and my solution:

If you need to display a custom QWidget in a view do the following:

Make your own subclass as it is written in the Spinbox Delegate Example.
Set autoFillBackground(true) to your editor widget in the createEditor method.
Set openPersistentEditor on your view's preferred rows/columns.
And voila your view will display always your preferred widget.
