- \title Frozen Column Example
-
- This example demonstrates how to freeze a column within a QTableView.
-
- \image frozencolumn-example.png "Screenshot of the example"
-
- We use Qt's model/view framework to implement a table with its first
- column frozen. This technique can be aplied to several columns or rows,
- as long as they are on the edge of the table.
-
- The model/view framework allows for one model to be displayed in different
- ways using multiple views. For this example, we use two views on the same
- model - two \l {QTableView}{table views} sharing one model. The frozen
- column is a child of the main tableview, and we provide the desired visual
- effect using an overlay technique which will be described step by step in
- the coming sections.
-

-
-
- \section1 FreezeTableWidget Class Definition
-
- The \c FreezeTableWidget class has a constructor and a destructor. Also, it
- has two private members: the table view that we will use as an overlay, and
- the shared model for both table views. Two slots are added to help keep the
- section sizes in sync, as well as a function to readjust the frozen
- column's geometry. In addition, we reimplement two functions:
- \l{QAbstractItemView::}{resizeEvent()} and \l{QTableView::}{moveCursor()}.
-
- \snippet examples/itemviews/frozencolumn/freezetablewidget.h Widget definition
-
- \note QAbstractItemView is \l{QTableView}'s ancestor.
-
-
- \section1 FreezeTableWidget Class Implementation
-
- The constructor takes \a model as an argument and creates a table view that
- we will use to display the frozen column. Then, within the constructor, we
- invoke the \c init() function to set up the frozen column. Finally, we
- connect the \l{QHeaderView::sectionResized()} signals (for horizontal and
- vertical headers) to the appropriate slots. This ensures that our frozen
- column's sections are in sync with the headers. We also connect the
- vertical scrollbars together so that the frozen column scrolls vertically
- with the rest of our table.
-
- \snippet examples/itemviews/frozencolumn/freezetablewidget.cpp constructor
-
-
- In the \c init() function, we ensure that the overlay table view
- responsible for displaying the frozen column, is set up properly. This
- means that this table view, \c frozenTableView, has to have the same model
- as the main table view. However, the difference here is: \c frozenTableView's
- only visible column is its first column; we hide the others using
- \l{QTableView::}{setColumnHidden()}
-
- \snippet examples/itemviews/frozencolumn/freezetablewidget.cpp init part1
-
-
- In terms of the frozen column's z-order, we stack it on top of the
- viewport. This is achieved by calling \l{QWidget::}{stackUnder()} on the
- viewport. For appearance's sake, we prevent the column from stealing focus
- from the main tableview. Also, we make sure that both views share the same
- selection model, so only one cell can be selected at a time. A few other
- tweaks are done to make our application look good and behave consistently
- with the main tableview. Note that we called \c updateFrozenTableGeometry()
- to make the column occupy the correct spot.
-
- \snippet examples/itemviews/frozencolumn/freezetablewidget.cpp init part2
-
- When you resize the frozen column, the same column on the main table view
- must resize accordingly, to provide seamless integration. This is
- accomplished by getting the new size of the column from the \c newSize
- value from the \l{QHeaderView::}{sectionResized()} signal, emitted by both
- the horizontal and vertical header.
-
- \snippet examples/itemviews/frozencolumn/freezetablewidget.cpp sections
-
- Since the width of the frozen column is modified, we adjust the geometry of
- the widget accordingly by invoking \c updateFrozenTableGeometry(). This
- function is further explained below.
-
- In our reimplementation of QTableView::resizeEvent(), we call
- \c updateFrozenTableGeometry() after invoking the base class
- implementation.
-
- \snippet examples/itemviews/frozencolumn/freezetablewidget.cpp resize
-
- When navigating around the table with the keyboard, we need to ensure that
- the current selection does not disappear behind the frozen column. To
- synchronize this, we reimplement QTableView::moveCursor() and adjust the
- scrollbar positions if needed, after calling the base class implementation.
-
- \snippet examples/itemviews/frozencolumn/freezetablewidget.cpp navigate
-
- The frozen column's geometry calculation is based on the geometry of the
- table underneath, so it always appears in the right place. Using the
- QFrame::frameWidth() function helps to calculate this geometry correctly,
- no matter which style is used. We rely on the geometry of the viewport and
- headers to set the boundaries for the frozen column.
