Detailed Description

The PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem class provides an item for use with the PySide.QtGui.QTableWidget class.

Table items are used to hold pieces of information for table widgets. Items usually contain text, icons, or checkboxes

The PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem class is a convenience class that replaces the QTableItem class in Qt 3. It provides an item for use with the PySide.QtGui.QTableWidget class.

Top-level items are constructed without a parent then inserted at the position specified by a pair of row and column numbers:

newItem = QTableWidgetItem(tr("%s" % pow(row, column+1)))
tableWidget.setItem(row, column, newItem)

Each item can have its own background brush which is set with the PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.setBackground() function. The current background brush can be found with PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.background() . The text label for each item can be rendered with its own font and brush. These are specified with the PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.setFont() and PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.setForeground() functions, and read with PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.font() and PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.foreground() .

By default, items are enabled, editable, selectable, checkable, and can be used both as the source of a drag and drop operation and as a drop target. Each item’s flags can be changed by calling PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.setFlags() with the appropriate value (see Qt.ItemFlags ). Checkable items can be checked and unchecked with the PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.setCheckState() function. The corresponding PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.checkState() function indicates whether the item is currently checked.

Subclassing

When subclassing PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem to provide custom items, it is possible to define new types for them so that they can be distinguished from standard items. The constructors for subclasses that require this feature need to call the base class constructor with a new type value equal to or greater than UserType .

class PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem(icon, text[, type=Type])
class PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem(text[, type=Type])
class PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem(other)
class PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem([type=Type])
Parameters:

Constructs a table item with the given icon and text .

Constructs a table item with the given text .

Constructs a copy of other . Note that PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.type() and PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.tableWidget() are not copied.

This function is useful when reimplementing PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.clone() .

Constructs a table item of the specified type that does not belong to any table.

PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.ItemType

This enum describes the types that are used to describe table widget items.

Constant Description
QTableWidgetItem.Type The default type for table widget items.
QTableWidgetItem.UserType The minimum value for custom types. Values below UserType are reserved by Qt.

You can define new user types in PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem subclasses to ensure that custom items are treated specially.

PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.background()
Return type:PySide.QtGui.QBrush

Returns the brush used to render the item’s background.

PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.checkState()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.Qt.CheckState

PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.clone()
Return type:PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem

Creates a copy of the item.

PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.column()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.int

Returns the column of the item in the table. If the item is not in a table, this function will return -1.

Parameters:inPySide.QtCore.QDataStream

Reads the item from stream in .

PySide.QtGui.QTableWidgetItem.row()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.int
