Adding button to QTableview .

[spirit]

Well, you can use QAbstractItemView::openPersistentEditor, but it can "slow down" your view if there are a lot of data.
I would suggest to grab an editor using QPixmap::grabWidget or even better to render it using QWidget::render in the item's delegate QItemDelegate::paint method.

thank you .. i got the concept ..But when i am using the delegate , that delegate overlapes on the existing data ..
can you please give any idea on this ?

Hi,

I am trying to "to render it using QWidget::render in the item's delegate QItemDelegate:aint method".

I took the Qt example "SpinBoxDelegate" and I try to display a QToolButton :

void SpinBoxDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter,
                            const QStyleOptionViewItem &option,
                            const QModelIndex &index) const
{
    if (index.column() == 1)
    {
        QToolButton* widget = new QToolButton();
        widget->setText("Click me");
        widget->render( painter );
    }
    else
    {
        QItemDelegate::paint(painter, option, index);
    }
}

void SpinBoxDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter,
                            const QStyleOptionViewItem &option,
                            const QModelIndex &index) const
{
    if (index.column() == 1)
    {
        QToolButton* widget = new QToolButton();
        widget->setText("Click me");
        widget->render( painter );
    }
    else
    {
        QItemDelegate::paint(painter, option, index);
    }
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But nothing is displayed...

How am I supposed to create the widget ?

Just create one button image over the place you want to put button and add an event to that image which works like a button .
