no matching function for call to 'QTableWidgetItem::setFlags(bool)'

[rajil.s]

Hello,

I have the following piece of code which works fine in Qt 4.8.6 and 5.6.2, but fails in Qt-5.8. I was trying to make the Item not selectable, but boolean fails in Qt-5.8

QTableWidgetItem *newItem1 = new QTableWidgetItem("");
                    newItem1->setFlags(not Qt::ItemIsSelectable);

QTableWidgetItem *newItem1 = new QTableWidgetItem("");
                    newItem1->setFlags(not Qt::ItemIsSelectable);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Error is

no matching function for call to 'QTableWidgetItem::setFlags(bool)'

no matching function for call to 'QTableWidgetItem::setFlags(bool)'

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Thanks

That's because QTableWidgetItem::setFlags() doesn't take a boolean as an argument, it takes a Qt::ItemFlags enum. To set the flags, you need to OR together the flags you want to set. If you want to turn off a specific flag, leaving the others unchanged, you can do the following:

QTableWidgetItem* item = new QTableWidgetItem();
item->setFlags(item->flags() & ~Qt::ItemIsSelectable);

QTableWidgetItem* item = new QTableWidgetItem();
item->setFlags(item->flags() & ~Qt::ItemIsSelectable);
