    Post TableView highlight column on mouse-over

    I have a TableView and would like to highlight the column that the mouse is over.
    I can do the visual part by drawing a rectangle in the itemDelegate.

    What I am struggling with is getting the column index the mouse is over.
    I found the function tableView.__listView.columnAt() but it always returns -1

    Here is the relevant part of my tableView qml...

    Qt Code:
    1. property int mouseColumn: 0
    2.  
    3. itemDelegate: Item {
    4. id: item
    5.  
    6. Rectangle {
    7. anchors.fill: parent
    8. color: "Green"
    9. visible: {
    10. // highlight the column the mouse is over
    11. if(styleData.column == tableView.mouseColumn)
    12. true
    13. else
    14. false
    15. }
    16. }
    17.  
    18. MouseArea {
    19. anchors.fill: parent
    20. hoverEnabled: true
    21. onPositionChanged: {
    22. var coordinates = item.mapToItem(tableView, mouse.x, mouse.y)
    23.  
    24. // TODO: how to find column index at coordinates, columnAt always returns -1 for some reason
    25. tableView.mouseColumn = tableView.__listView.columnAt(coordinates.x)
    26. }
    27. }
    28. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Ive been looking into this a bit more myself and ive found that the TableView headerVisible property makes a big difference. I am currently hiding the header.

    When headerVisible=false then tableView.__listView.columnAt(x) always returns -1.

    When headerVisible=true then tableView.__listView.columnAt(x) works correctly.

    Id like to keep the table's header hidden if possible, hopefully a workaround for tableView.__listView.columnAt(x) is possible.

    Also, im on Windows with Qt5.5.1 mingw if that makes any difference.

    styleData.column?
