I need to check whether a specific value is in a specific column when using QTableWidget
.
In my case I need to check the first column whether an ID is already present. If it is, I need the number of the containing row to update this row. Otherwise I would like to add a new row.
Is there a solution provided by Qt to check the column?
I assume that you are looking for your value in the first column (that's why the second argument to item(int, int)
is 0) and the table's name is myQTableWidget
.
int rows = myQTableWidget->rowCount();
bool found = false;
for (int i = 0; i < rows; ++i)
{
if (myQTableWidget->item(i, 0)->text() == "Something")
{
// we have found our value so we can update row 'i'
found = true;
break;
}
}
if (!found)
{
// we didn't find our value so we can insert a row
}
