I want to make a qtableview widget correctly updating. I'm working on a calibration applet, where i wanna fill cell by cell of an (e. g.) 100 x 100 x 4 array.
If my hardware reaches position 1, 2, 3, and so on, I will trigger a voltage measurement and gather those values with an i2c-read out-function.
So issues a la "my qtableview is not updating" are omnipresent.
But so far, I'm not able to adapt examples I have read, to make my code behaving as I want.
So if you look at my screenshot:
the problem is:
- when I'm clicking on row or col +/-, the yellow highlighting is not changing instantly
- when I'm clicking on store i²c, which is meant to put a dummy 0.0 in/on selected cell, this is also not changing instantly
Several methods like telling the model that data has changed, I was not able to implement correctly so far.
Could some of you help me to add a few lines just to force applet to update correctly?
