Adding Multiple Widgets to QTableWidget Cell in PyQt

I have a situation where i want to add 3 buttons in a QTableWidget. I could able to add a single button using below code. 

self.tableWidget = QtGui.QTableWidget()

saveButtonItem = QtGui.QPushButton('Save')
self.tableWidget.setCellWidget(0,4,saveButtonItem)

enter image description here

But i want to know how to add multiple (lets say 3) buttons. I Mean Along with Save Button i want to add other 2 buttons like Edit, Delete in the same column (Actions)

Solution

  • You can simply create your own widget, containing the three buttons, e.g. via subclassing QWidget:

    class EditButtonsWidget(QtGui.QWidget):

    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(EditButtonsWidget,self).__init__(parent)

        # add your buttons
        layout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()

        # adjust spacings to your needs
        layout.setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0)
        layout.setSpacing(0)

        # add your buttons
        layout.addWidget(QtGui.QPushButton('Save'))
        layout.addWidget(QtGui.QPushButton('Edit'))
        layout.addWidget(QtGui.QPushButton('Delete'))

        self.setLayout(layout)

    And then, set this widget as the cellwidget:

    self.tableWidget.setCellWidget(0,4, EditButtonsWidget())
