QTableWidget QTableWidgetItem

[TheKedge]

Hello all,
sorry, I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for prevoius threads.
I want to change the color of a header of a column in a QTableWidget (to show that the column is 'active'). The column header is double clicked and I get a slot called in which I do this:

item = tableWidget->horizontalHeaderItem ( logicalIndex );
item->setBackgroundColor(ChannelEnabled);

item = tableWidget->horizontalHeaderItem ( logicalIndex );
item->setBackgroundColor(ChannelEnabled);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

There is no colour change to be seen. I can colour any other item in the table this way, but not those from the headers. What do I need to do?

Another thing...
the signal QTableWidget::itemDoubleClicked ( QTableWidgetItem * /*item*/ )
gets called on double click on any cell, except those in the headers.

thanks
Kev

You must either override
QHeaderView::paintSection()or
use a custom style and implement:
QStyle::drawControl(QStyle::CE_Header)

Another thing...
the signal QTableWidget::itemDoubleClicked ( QTableWidgetItem * /*item*/ )
gets called on double click on any cell, except those in the headers.

QHeaderView::sectionDoubleClicked()

PS. Headers are accessible through QTableView::horizontalHeader() and QTableView::verticalHeader()

Yep,

QHeaderView::sectionDoubleClicked()
PS. Headers are accessible through QTableView::horizontalHeader() and QTableView::verticalHeader()

that're what I'm using at the moment.

I was a little irked that I could get the item, but that the QTableWidgetItem func didn't work.

I'll try your suggestions, thanks very much.

Headers are not items. They are not part of the data model data.
