[Interest] Set QTableWidgetItem checkbox when clicking anywhere on QTableWidget's row

[André Somers]

Hi,

I'd probably handle this via either a custom delegate or by using an
event filter.

P.S. Oh, and get rid of the QTableWidget. Use QTableView instead.

The items in the second column are not checkable. What I'd like to do is allow the user to click anywhere in a given row to toggle that row's checkbox state, so they don't have to only click on the checkbox in column 0 itself.

It is fine EXCEPT when the user actually clicks on a checkbox. In that case the checkbox takes care of toggling itself first, and then my slot comes along and toggles it back to its original state and the checkbox ultimate remains in its original state.

I'm not seeing anything in the documentation that allows me to differentiate the checkbox's text from the checkbox itself (let alone the white space that is inside the QTableWidgetItem's cell - the cell's internal margin).

I'd install an event filter on the
