QTable with per-row context menu without using body slot

[davthedev]

Hi,

I would like to show contextual operations for each row of a QTable, using a right-click menu.

So far, the only successful solution I came up with is to use the body slot and add the QMenu there.
The drawback of that approach are:

• I cannot display the checkboxes to select items as the whole row is overridden.
• Automatic column mapping from the model is disabled

Is there any other possible approach which does not require overriding the body slot?

I have tried this idea:

• Declare the QMenu next to the QTable
• Add a listener to the row-contextmenu event
• Programmatically show the menu in reaction to that event, which I failed to make it work so far

Yes you can , you can put your own selection checkboxes in the q-table's selection slot.

Automatic column mapping from the model is disabled

What do you mean?

By "automatic", I mean the default QTable behaviour where columns are defined using the columns property.
By overriding the body slot, I need to maintain both the row model and its whole representation with q-td's, which is less reusable. I can live with it but my idea is to make this behaviour generic in multiple parts of my project for different data sets, while only passing the data and columns properties.

Regarding the checkboxes, I would like to reuse the default template, as if I did not pass the body slot customization in the first place.
