Having problems with removeRow() on a QTableView object.
removeRow() isn't listed as being a method of a QTableView, not even
an inherited method, so how are you calling removeRow() on it? (See
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtableview-members.html)
Since you helped me on the last one, maybe you could try to answer a
couple more [probably simple] roadblocks I'm hitting.
I just wanna set the font to bold/not-bold when clicking on a row in
QTableView.
With a QTableWidget I do it like this:
font = QFont()
font.setBold(True) or False
QTableWidget.item(row,col).setFont(font)
But the QTableView has data/view 'models' attached to it and that
syntax doesn't work:
Tried:
font = QFont()
font.setBold(True) or False
model = QTableView.model()
model.setFont(model.index(row,col), font)
Throws AttributeError: 'QSqlTableModel' object has no attribute 'setFont'
This doesn't throw an error, but doesn't show bold:
model.setData(model.index(tblRow, col), font, Qt.FontRole)
Any ideas?
You definitely need to be setting the font in an item. I'm not sure but
I think that your QFont() doesn't have any properties, so it doesn't do
anything. I found this bit in a page - it's in C++ instead of Python
but that doesn't really make a difference except for the exact syntax to
use -
https://forum.qt.io/topic/70016/qlistview-item-font-stylesheet-not-working/4
QVariant v = ModelBaseClass::data(index,role);
if( condition && role == Qt::FontRole )
{
QFont font = v.value();
font.setBold( true );
v = QVariant::fromValue( font );
}
IOW, you have to get the font from the item, then set it to bold, which
you would do with setFont(). Then you set that new font on the item. Of
course you would have to unset bold on it later. See
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtablewidgetitem.html#font
Instead of "item", you might need to operate on "row". I didn't look
into that. Since a row probably doesn't have just one font (since it
can have more than one item), you'd still have to get the font from some
item in the row.
You might also be able to make the item bold using CSS, but I'm not sure.
Thanks
Internet searches are your friend for questions like this.
Before I posted I spent a couple hours looking online, reading the docs,
and trying different ways.
I found one person that said they did it but their syntax didn't work.
But it doesn't throw an error either.
model.setData(model.index(tblRow, col), font, Qt.FontRole)
When I'm done with my app (nearly 2K LOC) I'm going to put a summary out
there somewhere with a bunch of examples of easy ways to do things. For
one thing I wrote zero classes. Not one.
I've never
worked with a QTableView, so I had to start with some knowledge about
some other parts of QT. I found the first page searching for "qt set
qtableview row font", and the second searching for "qtablewidgetitem".
I used TableWidgets in 2 apps and no problems. In this app there's more
data and more sorting, and one of the TableWidgets took a while to load
35K rows (7 items per row). So I tried a TableView. Incredibly fast -
4x the speed - but it doesn't have the bolding in place yet. That could
slow it down.
As you know, a TableView is tied to the underlying datasource (in my
case via a QSqlTableModel), but it's much faster to show data than a
TableWidget, because with the widget you have populate each cell with
setItem().
The Widget is slower but easier to work with. So it's a tradeoff.
And I think I found some bugs in the TableViews. The Views have
editStrategies() that control how data is updated (if the model supports
editing), but they don't work the way the docs say they do.
In my app, when I click on a row a flag field is changed from N to Y
onscreen (well, it's hidden but it's in the row).
model.setData(model.index(row,7), 'Y')
OnFieldChange : all changes to the model will be applied immediately to
the database.
model.setEditStrategy(QSqlTableModel.OnFieldChange)
Doesn't work right. The screen is updated the first row you click on,
but the db isn't updated until you reload the view.
OnRowChange: changes to a row will be applied when the user selects
a different row.
model.setEditStrategy(QSqlTableModel.OnRowChange)
Doesn't work right. The screen is updated the first row you click on,
but the db isn't updated until you reload the view.
OnManualSubmit : all changes will be cached in the model until either
submitAll() or revertAll() is called.
model.setEditStrategy(QSqlTableModel.OnManualSubmit)
This works the best: the screen changes on each row I click, but the db
isn't updated even if I do submitAll() right after setData(). Have to
reload the view for the changes to propagate to the db
