Dynamically reading values from QTableWidget and store it


I have a QTablewidget, it can add rows and columns. Values can be inserted by user. I know how to get a single value of a cell by using current.item() method. But think and look at below image. User can insert different values and texts. I like to read a row values by its own. because I need to use values later. but I do not know how and where could values be read dynamically and still have a method to tell for exampel if a value under C is valid or not.

Visualization:

enter image description here

Here sees values at first row are, Text, 12, none, 25 and I. User can add more rows and insert different values. I would like to have a method or a way to read and store all values of rows and at the same time one row at time.

I think a good solution could be with QSortFilterProxyModel. but how can values be read by this method?

Solution

  • I find out a way to read all values inserted by user. It is simple and uses self.cellChanged.connect(self._row) method. The only value I do not succeed to get is values of QcomboBox inside cells. it returns an empty string.

    Here is the solution.

    class LoadTable(QtWidgets.QTableWidget):
        def __init__(self, parent=None):
            super(LoadTable, self).__init__(1, 5, parent)
    
            ------------------------
    
            self.cellChanged.connect(self._row)
    
            ------------------------
    
        def _row(self):
            row = self.rowCount()
            column = self.columnCount()
            A = []
            for r in range(row):
                for c in range(column):
                    it = self.item(r,c)
                    if it:
                        text = it.text()
                        A.append(text)
                        print( A, len(A))
    

    Output as list with some random input:

    ['LC1', '-1200', '0', '', '', 'LC2', '', '', '20', ''] 10
