QTableView: change precision for double values

Question

If a double value returned as EditRole by a model, then (supposedly) QDoubleSpinBox is used by QTableView as an editor. How can I change precision in that control?

Answer 1

The precision behavior of QDoubleSpinBox in a QTableView is explained here , so to solve the problem , you need to set your own QDoubleSpinBox, there are two ways to do this according to the end part of Subclassing QStyledItemDelegate: using an editor item factory or subclassing QStyledItemDelegate. The latter way requires you to reimplement four methods of QStyledItemDelegate, I just fount it a bit lengthy, so I choose the first way , sample code in PyQt following :

from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *


class ItemEditorFactory(QItemEditorFactory):  # http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstyleditemdelegate.html#subclassing-qstyleditemdelegate    It is possible for a custom delegate to provide editors without the use of an editor item factory. In this case, the following virtual functions must be reimplemented:
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    def createEditor(self, userType, parent):
        if userType == QVariant.Double:
            doubleSpinBox = QDoubleSpinBox(parent)
            doubleSpinBox.setDecimals(3)
            doubleSpinBox.setMaximum(1000)  # The default maximum value is 99.99.所以要设置一下
            return doubleSpinBox
        else:
            return super().createEditor(userType, parent)




styledItemDelegate=QStyledItemDelegate()
styledItemDelegate.setItemEditorFactory(ItemEditorFactory())
self.tableView.setItemDelegate(styledItemDelegate)
self.tableView.setModel(self.sqlTableModel)

Answer 2

I have not been able to find a good way to get at those spin boxes. The default delegate for a QTableView is a QStyledItemDelegate. When creating a item in Qt::EditRole it uses items created by the default QItemEditorFactory class, which you can access using QItemEditorFactory::defaultFactory(). You could then register your own editor there, however I do not see a good way to edit the ones that are already there.

Instead most likely what you should do is implement your own delegate with a different precision specified. There is a example to make a delegate using a QSpinBox, which you would replace with a QDoubleSpinBox. Then in createEditor you would then use setDecimals to set the spin box to the precision that you want. You then apply that delegate to your table with setItemDelegate.
