table

Hi all,
I need to insert a table in a QT GUI. Which is the widget/view object you suggest? I'm working with QT 4.2.

Requirements are basic. Tab button should move from a cell to the following one in the same row, while enter button should move down to the following row or create a new one.

Thanks for your help.

QTableWidget might be a easier to start with but QTableView is more flexible in the long run and is also more popular amongst QtCentre users.

You can use either QTableView or QTableWidget

Thanks jpn an munna,
as far as I know QTableWidget is older than QTableView. The second one uses a new way of programming introduced with QT4, is that right?

I will try with the easiest then. I will ask again if I'm in trouble

QTableWidget is actually a subclass of QTableView. QTableWidget is just a "convenience view", with it's prebuilt default model. So with QTableWidget you don't need a separate model and you can work with QTableWidgetItems instead of QModelIndexes.
