[Interest] How to get word that was clicked on in a table view or table widget?

[Tony Rietwyk]

Hi Alexei, 

 

Interesting question.  How does your model get the display text?  I assume
your model (or the QTableWidget model) is storing a QString.  In the cell
click handler you can theoretically: 

 

- push the display text into a QTextEdit (hidden for release builds)

- format it with the same font, margins, etc, as the cell

- set the max width to the cell width

- use cursorForPosition to get a QTextCursor for the mouse offset within in
the cell

- select the current word using select(QTextCursor::WordUnderCursor)

- use selectedText to get the word. 

 

The hard part is mimicking the formatting of the cell, and forcing the text
edit to do its layout changes. 

 

Hope that helps, 

 

Tony.

I forgot to mention that the table view or table widget is not editable.

Is it possible? If so, how would I do that?

 

Thanks.
