Detailed Description

A better QTable for TOPPView, which supports exporting to TSV and conveniently adding data to cells and headers.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TableView()

TableView

(

QWidget *

parent = nullptr

)

Constructor.

~TableView()

~TableView ( )

overridedefault

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

appendRow()

void appendRow

(

)

adds a new row to the bottom

exportEntries()

virtual void exportEntries ( )

virtual

Export table entries as currently shown in the table in TSV format (only for visible data)

A filename will be queried using a dialog, before exporting.

Headers will be exported using their export name (if available, see setHeaderExportName()).

All cells will be queried for their Qt::UserRole, then for Qt::DisplayRole and last for Qt::CheckStateRole. The first item to return data will be used! Thus, to export data which differs from the visible (==DisplayRole), use QTableWidgetItem::setData(Qt::UserRole, ...).

Note: to force export of hidden columns use setMandatoryExportColumns()

getHeaderExportName()

QString getHeaderExportName

(

const int

header_column

)

Gets the export-name of a column.

Export names are useful when exporting the table to CSV (see exportEntries()), and the column header should be a bit more verbose.

Internally, this queries the Qt::UserRole's data to get the value. If the export name was not set (using setHeaderExportName()), it returns the display name.

Parameters

header_column

Index of column

Exceptions

Exception::ElementNotFound

if header at index header_column is not valid

getHeaderName()

QString getHeaderName

(

const int

header_column

)

get the displayed name of the header in column with index header_column

Exceptions

Exception::ElementNotFound

if header at index header_column is not valid

getHeaderNames()

QStringList getHeaderNames	(	const WidgetHeader	which,
		bool	use_export_name = false
	)

Obtain header names, either from all, or only the visible columns.

Headers can be obtained as shown (use_export_name = false) or for exporting to CSV where the alternative export name is preferred (if exists). See setHeaderExportName().

Parameters

which	With or without invisible columns?
use_export_name	If column has a hidden export name, use that instead of the displayed name

Returns

List of header names

headerContextMenu_

void headerContextMenu_ ( const QPoint &  )

protectedslot

Display header context menu; allows to show/hide columns.

hideColumns()

void hideColumns

(

const QStringList &

header_names

)

hides columns with the given names

Exceptions

Exception::InvalidParameter

if a name is not matching the current column names

resized

void resized ( )

signal

emitted when the widget is resized

resizeEvent()

void resizeEvent ( QResizeEvent *  event )

overrideprotected

emits the resized signal

setAtBottomRow() [1/6]

QTableWidgetItem* setAtBottomRow	(	const bool	selected,
		size_t	column_index,
		const QColor &	background,
		const QColor &	foreground = QColor("SomeInvalidColor")
	)

create a checkbox item (with no text)

setAtBottomRow() [2/6]

QTableWidgetItem* setAtBottomRow	(	const char *	text,
		size_t	column_index,
		const QColor &	background,
		const QColor &	foreground = QColor("SomeInvalidColor")
	)

setAtBottomRow() [3/6]

QTableWidgetItem* setAtBottomRow	(	const double	d,
		size_t	column_index,
		const QColor &	background,
		const QColor &	foreground = QColor("SomeInvalidColor")
	)

setAtBottomRow() [4/6]

QTableWidgetItem* setAtBottomRow	(	const int	i,
		size_t	column_index,
		const QColor &	background,
		const QColor &	foreground = QColor("SomeInvalidColor")
	)

setAtBottomRow() [5/6]

QTableWidgetItem* setAtBottomRow	(	const QString &	text,
		size_t	column_index,
		const QColor &	background,
		const QColor &	foreground = QColor("SomeInvalidColor")
	)

setAtBottomRow() [6/6]

QTableWidgetItem* setAtBottomRow	(	QTableWidgetItem *	item,
		size_t	column_index,
		const QColor &	background,
		const QColor &	foreground
	)

create a custom item (if above methods are not sufficient)

setHeaderExportName()

void setHeaderExportName	(	const int	header_column,
		const QString &	export_name
	)

Set the export-name of a column, which will be returned in getHeaderNames() when use_export_name it true.

Export names are useful when exporting the table to CSV (see exportEntries()), and the column header should be a bit more verbose.

Internally, this uses the Qt::UserRole's data to store the value.

Parameters

header_column	Index of column
export_name	New export name to set

Exceptions

Exception::ElementNotFound

if header at index header_column is not valid

setHeaders()

void setHeaders

(

const QStringList &

headers

)

sets the visible headers (and the number of columns)

setMandatoryExportColumns()

void setMandatoryExportColumns

(

QStringList &

cols

)

Set the mandatory export columns cols which get exported even if the user decided to hide them.

updateCheckBoxItem()

static void updateCheckBoxItem ( QTableWidgetItem *  item )

static

if the item is purely a checkbox (e.g. added with setAtBottomRow(const bool selected, ...)), we set its DisplayRole to either '' or ' ', depending on checked state, to allow for row sorting This function should be called whenever the check-state of the item changes
