    Question how to emit double click on cell Signal in QTableView from right click menu

    In my QTableView I have a model MyDataModel that inherits from QAbstractTableModel to which I have added the below method to be able to rename the item by double clicking it!!



    Qt Code:
    1. def flags(self, index):
    2. """ This method sets the text in the cell editor selected
    3. and editable and enabled.
    4. """
    5. return QtCore.Qt.ItemIsEditable | QtCore.Qt.ItemIsEnabled | QtCore.Qt.ItemIsSelectable
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    But now I have also added a right click contextual menu on which i have added the rename option, so I want to trigger the double click behavior to rename the selected item the same way I did by double clicking it.

    How can I achieve that?

    Call the edit() slot of the view with the respective model index.

    I don't know how to do that, can you give an example...


    Added after 8 minutes:


    Do you mean like this
    Qt Code:
    1. self.connect(self, SIGNAL("edit()"), SLOT("renAction"))
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Obviously the mention of "slot" got you confused, let me rephrase:
    call the view's edit() method, i.e. this one: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qab...view.html#edit
