[Interest] QLineEdit and QTableWidget

[Rene Decartes]

tony, alex

i don't think a grid layout would work as i want to have a "list" (loosely worded) of items and a tablewidget "seems" to be the logical choice.

the goal is to display attributes from a database table which has three attributes, key, number, name. i would like to put the number and name from the database in a tablewidget based on a sql select by key. my thought is to have a lineedit for each entry. each lineedit would in turn would be placed in a tablewidgetitem. the tablewidget would have a single column. there would be a final empty tablewidgetitem as the last row in the tablewidget to allow for adding an additional name to the database table. after a new name is entered in the last item, a signal would cause another empty item/row to be created. the salient point is that the last item should use sqltablemodel, tableview and completer to allow the user to select a name from a list of names (and numbers) in a separate database table. all tablewidgetitems should use the same model/view/completer scheme.

the model/view/completer code in the prior post is how i would implement the model/view/completer for a lineedit in each tablewidgetitem.

my question is should i be using a custom itemdelegate and custom tablewidgetitem as used in the qt spreadsheet example. would the lineedit be coded in the custom tablewidgetitem?
