Attaching menu to table items
Message 1 in thread
Hello all,
I want to attach a context menu to items on my table so that the user
can right click the items and get at context menu that acts over the
item.
Well, as far as I understood the docs you cannot attach it to the item
itself but you can attach it to the table.
To attach it to the table, I need to redefine the contextMenuEvent of
the table. My table was created on designer, so to redefine this
method, do I need to subclass it, redefine the method and add it
manually to the Ui, or is there any better alternative?
Cheers,

Check the designer manual, either use the promoting feature or create a
widget plugin with your QTableView subclass.

The best way is to
table->setContextMenuPolicy(Qt::CustomContextMenu);
then connect to this signal
void QWidget::customContextMenuRequested ( const QPoint & pos )
And in your slot get the index under pos (table->indexAt(pos)) and then create
and show your menu for the index at pos.
