How to interact with checkbox actions ? (QTableView with QStandardItemModel)

Question

I\'m using QTableView and QStandardItemModel to show some data.

For each row, there is a column which has a check Box, this check box is inserted by setItem, the co

I don't deal with QTableView+QStandardItemModel, but may be example below will help you:

1). table.h file:

#ifndef TABLE__H
#define TABLE__H

#include 

class ItemDelegate : public QItemDelegate
{
public:
    ItemDelegate(QObject *parent = 0)
        : QItemDelegate(parent)
    {
    }
    virtual void drawCheck(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option,
        const QRect &, Qt::CheckState state) const
    {
        const int textMargin = QApplication::style()->pixelMetric(QStyle::PM_FocusFrameHMargin) + 1;

        QRect checkRect = QStyle::alignedRect(option.direction, Qt::AlignCenter,
            check(option, option.rect, Qt::Checked).size(),
            QRect(option.rect.x() + textMargin, option.rect.y(),
            option.rect.width() - (textMargin * 2), option.rect.height()));
        QItemDelegate::drawCheck(painter, option, checkRect, state);
    }
    virtual bool editorEvent(QEvent *event, QAbstractItemModel *model, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option,
        const QModelIndex &index)
    {
        Q_ASSERT(event);
        Q_ASSERT(model);

        // make sure that the item is checkable
        Qt::ItemFlags flags = model->flags(index);
        if (!(flags & Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable) || !(flags & Qt::ItemIsEnabled))
            return false;
        // make sure that we have a check state
        QVariant value = index.data(Qt::CheckStateRole);
        if (!value.isValid())
            return false;
        // make sure that we have the right event type
        if (event->type() == QEvent::MouseButtonRelease) {
            const int textMargin = QApplication::style()->pixelMetric(QStyle::PM_FocusFrameHMargin) + 1;
            QRect checkRect = QStyle::alignedRect(option.direction, Qt::AlignCenter,
                check(option, option.rect, Qt::Checked).size(),
                QRect(option.rect.x() + textMargin, option.rect.y(),
                option.rect.width() - (2 * textMargin), option.rect.height()));
            if (!checkRect.contains(static_cast(event)->pos()))
                return false;
        } else if (event->type() == QEvent::KeyPress) {
            if (static_cast(event)->key() != Qt::Key_Space
                && static_cast(event)->key() != Qt::Key_Select)
                return false;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
        Qt::CheckState state = (static_cast(value.toInt()) == Qt::Checked
            ? Qt::Unchecked : Qt::Checked);

        QMessageBox::information(0,
            QString((state == Qt::Checked) ? "Qt::Checked" : "Qt::Unchecked"),
            QString("[%1/%2]").arg(index.row()).arg(index.column()));

        return model->setData(index, state, Qt::CheckStateRole);
    }
    virtual void drawFocus(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QRect &rect) const
    {
        QItemDelegate::drawFocus(painter, option, option.rect);
    }
};


static int ROWS = 3;
static int COLS = 1;
class Table : public QTableWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    Table(QWidget *parent = 0)
        : QTableWidget(ROWS, COLS, parent)
    {
        setItemDelegate(new ItemDelegate(this));
        QTableWidgetItem *item = 0;
        for (int i=0; isetFlags(Qt::ItemIsEnabled|Qt::ItemIsUserCheckable);
                item->setCheckState((i+j) % 2 == 0 ? Qt::Checked : Qt::Unchecked);
            }
        }
    }
};

#endif

2). main.cpp file:

#include 

#include "table.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    Table w;
    w.show();
    return a.exec();
}

Good luck.
