[Qt-interest] how to prevent selecting multiple columns in a QTableView

[Andy Hirsh]

Hello Sean

  not sure I have sufficient skill to do this in the right way.

  I play with currentColumnChanged() signal and with selectionmodel for
hours, but without any good results...

  I'll try again in the next days, but for now I have to giveup :-(

  I was hoping it was just a mistake in the way I manage the selection...

                 Andy
