[Interest] temp disable any selection changing in TableView?

[Tony Rietwyk]

Hi dave,

The selection is normally handled by an internally allocated 
QSelectionModel, which maintains the current item separate from the 
selections.  You can replace the selection model if necessary.  In this 
case, you want the current item to change, but not the selections, 
depending on which column was clicked, or whatever other condition.  You 
may need to override the view and/or change the selection model to 
intercept the calls between them.  Then you modify the parameters to 
force them to only change the current.

Good luck!   ;O)
