Detailed Description

QAbstractTableModel provides a standard interface for models that represent their data as a two-dimensional array of items. It is not used directly, but must be subclassed.

Since the model provides a more specialized interface than QAbstractItemModel , it is not suitable for use with tree views, although it can be used to provide data to a QListView . If you need to represent a simple list of items, and only need a model to contain a single column of data, subclassing the QAbstractListModel may be more appropriate.

The rowCount() and columnCount() functions return the dimensions of the table. To retrieve a model index corresponding to an item in the model, use index() and provide only the row and column numbers.

Subclassing

When subclassing QAbstractTableModel , you must implement rowCount() , columnCount() , and data() . Default implementations of the index() and parent() functions are provided by QAbstractTableModel . Well behaved models will also implement headerData() .

Editable models need to implement setData() , and implement flags() to return a value containing ItemIsEditable .

Models that provide interfaces to resizable data structures can provide implementations of insertRows() , removeRows() , insertColumns() , and removeColumns() . When implementing these functions, it is important to call the appropriate functions so that all connected views are aware of any changes:

Note

Some general guidelines for subclassing models are available in the Model Subclassing Reference .
