How to detect doubleClick in QTableView

Question

I'm using PyQt to create a GUI application. In a view inherited from QTableView, need to detect the row the user has selected when they double click a row. The table has sorting, but no editing.

How do I do it?

Note - tried the doubleClicked(int) signal. It is emitted by mouse buttons, not by data cells, so it was never fired. :(

Answer 1

I dont understand. The doubleClicked signal of the QTableView has the signature

void doubleClicked ( const QModelIndex & index )

If you connect that signal you should obtain the correct QModelIndex.

Answer 2

No need to use SIGNALs anymore:

self.your_table.doubleClicked.connect(your_function)

"doubleClicked" being inherited from QAbstractItemView.

Answer 3

Once you have the modelIndex, (from Frank's comment above) you can use it to find which cell was double clicked.

def slotDoubleClicked(self, mi):
    row = mi.row()
    column = mi.column()

You then can use these row and col values to access the table with table.setItem(row, column, newdata) or other table method
