How can I tell a QTableWidget to end editing a cell?

Question

I'm showing a popup menu to select some values in a QTableWidget. The lowest item is a "Modify list" entry, when I select it a new window should automatically appear and the QComboBox should vanish and the cell return to a Qt::DisplayRole state.

Now Qt has all those nice API-calls like QTableWidget.edit() and QTableWidget.editItem(), what I'm really looking for is a QTableWidget.endEditing(), preferably without specifying the index of the cell, though I could get that using this call:

table.currentIndex()

… but I don't know if I can guarantee that the current cell is the cell being edited at all times.

Is there an API to close those kind of editors?

Answer 1

QTableWidget inherits 19 public slots from QWidget. One of those is setDisabled(), which should disable input events for that widget and all of its children.

I would try:

table.setDisabled( true );
table.setDisabled( false );

Although you said it does not work for you, there is an alternative method: If you don't like that (the table loses focus, I believe), you can try using EditTriggers. For example:

table.setEditTriggers( QAbstractItemView::NoEditTriggers );
