[Interest] QTableView - only trigger edit event in lower part of cell

[mail at herrdiel.de]

Hi,

how about an transparent (but clickable) layer that covers the area you 
want to catch that click in, while the editor is open? It can span over 
the cell, the table or the whole window - whatever pleases. If you stack 
just beneath the editor (z coordinate), it will recieve the click. its 
only purpose is to close the editor and - if you so wish - to propagate 
the click further. Opening the editor sets the layer's size as desired, 
being clicked, the latter can reduce it own size to zero.

Is there no signal or event like "focusLost" or sth. similar? Because 
that would be the easiest way: to (create and) connect such a signal to 
the cell.

Sorry for possibly stupid ideas, I am still learning.

Best regards,

Sebastian
