QAbstractItemModel / QStyledItemDelegate howto update data on value changed?

[moviemax]

Hi there,
I have QAbstractItemModel and displaying its data in a QTableView.
A derived QStyledItemDelegate class creates an QSpinBox to edit values in
column 1.
A QSpinbox on some other place on the widget where the QTableView is nested,
shows the same data eg. (2/1), the QSpinbox is connected through QWidgetMapper.
Actually it works fine: I can change both value and they update each other if
I change the focus.
But thats the point! The changed values have to immediately update the model
data. How can I force that the valueChange() signal update the model data.

Therefore if I insert a number directly in the spinbox and press enter,
the number jumps back to the old value. Only the up/down button works to edit
the value.

Thanks for help

You should be connecting the outer / other QSpinBox to QAbstractItemModel, and not to the QTableView's or QStyledItemDelegate's QSpinBox, are you doing it this way?

Yes:

otpTableView = QTableView(this)
        otpTableView.setModel(otpmodel)
        otpTableView.setItemDelegate( OtpDelegate_C(this) )
 
 
        mapper_r1 = QtGui.QDataWidgetMapper(this)                
        mapper_r1.setModel(otpmodel)
        mapper_r1.addMapping(label_row1, 0, "text")
        mapper_r1.addMapping(spinbox_row1, 1)        
        mapper_r1.setCurrentIndex(1)

otpTableView = QTableView(this)
        otpTableView.setModel(otpmodel)
        otpTableView.setItemDelegate( OtpDelegate_C(this) )


        mapper_r1 = QtGui.QDataWidgetMapper(this)                
        mapper_r1.setModel(otpmodel)
        mapper_r1.addMapping(label_row1, 0, "text")
        mapper_r1.addMapping(spinbox_row1, 1)        
        mapper_r1.setCurrentIndex(1)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Anyway the problem is that the data from the editor will be send to the model only after the editor lost the focus. I think that is normal behavior for models indeed.
But if you connect eg. a slider with spinbox, you can see intstandly the changing values. That`s what I have to achieve.

In that case use QSpinBox::valueChanged() signal

Ups, some post get lost somewhere ???
Thanks Santosh, but I dosn`t connect anything it goes autmaticaly by

mapper_r1.addMapping

mapper_r1.addMapping

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Maybe I have to derive QTableView and QDataWidgetMapper to force some signals

I improved the code to

mapper_r2 = QtGui.QDataWidgetMapper(this)                
        mapper_r2.setModel(otpmodel)
        mapper_r2.addMapping(label_row2, 0, "text")
        mapper_r2.addMapping(spinbox_row2, 1)        
        mapper_r2.setCurrentIndex(1)
        connect(
                spinbox_row2, SIGNAL(valueChanged(),  otpmodel, SLOT(dataChanged()))
         )
       mapper_r2.setSubmitPolicy(QtGui.QDataWidgetMapper.AutoSubmit)

mapper_r2 = QtGui.QDataWidgetMapper(this)                
        mapper_r2.setModel(otpmodel)
        mapper_r2.addMapping(label_row2, 0, "text")
        mapper_r2.addMapping(spinbox_row2, 1)        
        mapper_r2.setCurrentIndex(1)
        connect(
                spinbox_row2, SIGNAL(valueChanged(),  otpmodel, SLOT(dataChanged()))
         )
       mapper_r2.setSubmitPolicy(QtGui.QDataWidgetMapper.AutoSubmit)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But as expected, the value isn`t set to the model already , so an dataChanged() isn`t enough

There is no such SLOT in QAbstractItemModel
