pyQt4 - How to select table rows and disable editing cells

Question

I create a QTableWidget with:

self.table = QtGui.QTableWidget()
self.table.setObjectName('table')
self.table.setSelectionBehavior(QtGui.QAbstractItemView.SelectRows)
verticalLayout.addWidget(self.table)

with this selection it is possible to select rows but I don't want that the user can edit any cells of this table. I know that you can enable each cell while filling the table. But is there a possibility to set the cells of the whole table kind of inactive (after the filling of the table) while the selection of the rows is still possible?

TIA Martin

Answer 1

use

self.table.setEditTriggers(QtGui.QAbstractItemView.NoEditTriggers)

(here you can find other triggers, just in case you need them)

Answer 2

You can disable editing by setting the flags ItemIsSelectable and ItemIsEnabled for each item in your table:

table = QTableWidget(10,10)

for i in range(10):
    for j in range(10):
        item = QTableWidgetItem(str(i*j))
        item.setFlags( Qt.ItemIsSelectable |  Qt.ItemIsEnabled )
        table.setItem(i, j, item)
