I am using PyQt for a simple application that reads from a log file with JSON formatted strings, and outputs them nicely in a table.
Everything is working as expected e
I've been working on something similar, but was not setting up a sort. I tried both ways, and both worked for me.
My list, is a list of dictionaries, so slightly different from yours.
I have created a tabledialog class, that contains my table widget, and this function, is called from my main window:
def setuptable(self, alist):
# setup variables
rows = len(alist)
cols = len(alist[0])
keys = ['number', 'name', 'phone', 'address'] # for dictonary order
# setup cols, rows
self.tableWidget.setRowCount(rows)
self.tableWidget.setColumnCount(cols)
# insert data
for row in range(rows):
for col in range(cols):
item = QtGui.QTableWidgetItem()
item.setText(alist[row][keys[col]] or '') # or '' for any None values
table.setItem(row, col, item)
keys = [item.title() for item in keys] # capitalize
self.tableWidget.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(keys) # add header names
self.tableWidget.horizontalHeader().setDefaultAlignment(QtCore.Qt.AlignLeft) # set alignment
self.tableWidget.resizeColumnsToContents() # call this after all items have been inserted
self.tableWidget.sortItems(1,QtCore.Qt.AscendingOrder)
Also tried using, at the end of my tablesetup function:
self.emit(QtCore.SIGNAL("loadingDone"))
and setup the slot in my main window, in the init section:
# setup the dialog
import dialogtable
self.tabledialog = dialogtable.dialogtable()
# signal from table dialog
self.tabledialog.connect(self.tabledialog,QtCore.SIGNAL("loadingDone"),self.tableSort)
And the function called:
def tableSort(self):
self.tabledialog.tableWidget.sortItems(1,QtCore.Qt.AscendingOrder)
My tablewidget setup functions:
# set table widget attributes
self.tableWidget.setEditTriggers(QtGui.QAbstractItemView.DoubleClicked) # use NoEditTriggers to disable editing
self.tableWidget.setAlternatingRowColors(True)
self.tableWidget.setSelectionMode(QtGui.QAbstractItemView.NoSelection)
self.tableWidget.verticalHeader().setDefaultSectionSize(18) # tighten up the row size
self.tableWidget.horizontalHeader().setStretchLastSection(True) # stretch last column to edge
self.tableWidget.setSortingEnabled(True) # allow sorting
I don't bother ever set sorting to false, as the answer above mine recommends.
