Copying part of QTableView
Well, already figured it out, sorry anyone that wasted their time and looked.
void TestCopyTable::on_pushButton_copy_clicked()
{
QAbstractItemModel *abmodel = ui.tableView->model();
QItemSelectionModel * model = ui.tableView->selectionModel();
QModelIndexList list = model->selectedIndexes();
qSort(list);
if(list.size() < 1)
return;
QString copy_table;
QModelIndex last = list.last();
QModelIndex previous = list.first();
list.removeFirst();
for(int i = 0; i < list.size(); i++)
{
QVariant data = abmodel->data(previous);
QString text = data.toString();
QModelIndex index = list.at(i);
copy_table.append(text);
if(index.row() != previous.row())
{
copy_table.append('\n');
}
else
{
copy_table.append('\t');
}
previous = index;
}
copy_table.append(abmodel->data(list.last()).toString());
copy_table.append('\n');
QClipboard *clipboard = QApplication::clipboard();
clipboard->setText(copy_table);
}
I wrote some code based on Phil's to copy the selection when the user types Control-C.
I subclassed QTableWidget
and overrode keyPressEvent()
:
void MyTableWidget::keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent* event) {
// If Ctrl-C typed
// Or use event->matches(QKeySequence::Copy)
if (event->key() == Qt::Key_C && (event->modifiers() & Qt::ControlModifier))
{
QModelIndexList cells = selectedIndexes();
qSort(cells); // Necessary, otherwise they are in column order
QString text;
int currentRow = 0; // To determine when to insert newlines
foreach (const QModelIndex& cell, cells) {
if (text.length() == 0) {
// First item
} else if (cell.row() != currentRow) {
// New row
text += '\n';
} else {
// Next cell
text += '\t';
}
currentRow = cell.row();
text += cell.data().toString();
}
QApplication::clipboard()->setText(text);
}
}
Output example (tab-separated):
foo bar baz qux
bar baz qux foo
baz qux foo bar
qux foo bar baz
