[PySide] right clicking on QTableView to get selected rows

[Tibold Kandrai]

Hi,

There are multiple ways to deal with the context menus. You don't
necessarily need to use the mousePressEvent.
I would use or the customContextMenuRequested signal or adding actions to
the view. Note you also need to set the contextMenuPolicy to
ActionsContextMenu or CustomContextMenu depending on which you use.

References:

   - http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qwidget.html#addAction

I am not sure though how the selection works exactly with the context menu.
But in the customContextMenuRequested you can get the right clicked row's
index easily like this:
model_index = self.indexAt(point)

Hope this helps,
Tibold
