pyqt-checkbox-table-widget

PyQt's QTableWidget which has checkbox as first header item

Requirements

PyQt5 >= 5.8

Setup

python -m pip install pyqt-checkbox-table-widget

Method Overview

Many methods is changed/overriden because of the fact that check box being used in first column.

• setHorizontalHeaderLabels(labels: typing.Iterable[str]) - Sets horizontal header label except for first column (for check box)

• clearContents(start_r_idx=0) - Remove all contents including check box from start_r_idx

• setDefaultValueOfCheckBox(flag: bool) - Self-explanatory.

• stretchEveryColumnExceptForCheckBox() - Apply self.horizontalHeader().setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView.Stretch) except for first column, which is for check box.

• setRowCount(rows: int)

• toggleState(state) - Toggle every single checkbox. State should be Qt.CheckState. You can see how to use this feature in Code Example 2 below.

• getCheckedRows() - Return the list of indexes of row which are checked.

• getUncheckedRows()

• setCheckedAt(idx: int, f: bool) - If f is True, the check box at idx is checked. f is False, the check box at idx is unchecked.

• removeCheckedRows()

• removeUncheckedRows()

Example

Code Example 1

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QTableWidgetItem

from pyqt_checkbox_table_widget.checkBoxTableWidget import CheckBoxTableWidget



if __name__ == "__main__":

    import sys



    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    widget = CheckBoxTableWidget()

    widget.setRowCount(3)

    widget.setItem(0, 1, QTableWidgetItem('abc')) # Remember column argument should be at least 1 (if it is zero, item will cover the checkbox cell)

    widget.show()

    app.exec_()

Result

Code Example 2

from PyQt5.QtCore import Qt

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QTableWidgetItem, QMainWindow, QCheckBox, QVBoxLayout, QWidget

from pyqt_checkbox_table_widget.checkBoxTableWidget import CheckBoxTableWidget





class MainWindow(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):

        super().__init__()

        self.__initUi()



    def __initUi(self):

        allChkBox = QCheckBox('Check all')

        tableWidget = CheckBoxTableWidget()

        tableWidget.setRowCount(10)

        tableWidget.stretchEveryColumnExceptForCheckBox() # stretch every section of tablewidget except for check box section

        for i in range(tableWidget.rowCount()):

            item = QTableWidgetItem()

            item.setTextAlignment(Qt.AlignCenter) # align

            item.setText(str(i)*50) # text sample

            tableWidget.setItem(i, 1, item)

        allChkBox.stateChanged.connect(tableWidget.toggleState) # if allChkBox is checked, tablewidget checkboxes will also be checked 



        lay = QVBoxLayout()

        lay.addWidget(allChkBox)

        lay.addWidget(tableWidget)



        mainWidget = QWidget()

        mainWidget.setLayout(lay)



        self.setCentralWidget(mainWidget)





if __name__ == "__main__":

    import sys



    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    window = MainWindow()

    window.show()

    app.exec_()
