[Interest] temp disable any selection changing in TableView?

[David M. Cotter]

i'm not sure if i was clear.  this is for Qt Widgets, not Qt Quick.

i'm talking about preventing the table view from changing selection, even while popping up a menu, or editing a text on a selected or a NOT selected row.

i'm not talking about selection within a text edit, which obviously would have to continue to function as expected, but while NOT changing the selection within the row of the table view

same if the column in the row shows a checkbox.  i don't want the checkbox itself to "gain focus", i just want it to be checked or unchecked, without changing the row selection in the table view.
