QTableView with stylesheet - indicators overlap text in Qt6

Update: This issue is caused by a Qt bug. They solved it, for release in Qt 6.9.

Original Post: We had to port code to Qt6, and one of the things that broke was the QTableView.

version comparison

It is definitely an improvement - but I don't know how to fix the overlapping of text, hidden under the indicator. The only options that are easy are also bad:

This is a super simple example showing the behavior, if somebody can help me until Qt fixes it completely. It behaves the same as the real program, the images cover the text.

main.cpp:

#include "mymodel.h"
#include <QApplication>
#include <QTableView>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QTableView tableView;
    MyModel myModel;
    tableView.setModel(&myModel);

    QString viewStyle = "QTableView::item { padding: 10px; }\n"
                        "QTableView::indicator { width: 30px; height: 30px; }\n"
                        "QTableView::indicator:unchecked { image: url(:/checkbox_unselected.png); }\n"
                        "QTableView::indicator:checked { image: url(:/checkbox_selected.png); } ";
    tableView.setStyleSheet(viewStyle);
    tableView.setColumnWidth(0, 100);
    tableView.setColumnWidth(1, 100);
    tableView.setColumnWidth(2, 100);
    tableView.setRowHeight(0, 100);
    tableView.setRowHeight(1, 100);

    tableView.show();
    return a.exec();
}

mymodel.h

#include <QAbstractTableModel>

class MyModel : public QAbstractTableModel
{
public:
    explicit MyModel(QObject *parent = nullptr);
    int rowCount(const QModelIndex &parent = QModelIndex()) const override;
    int columnCount(const QModelIndex &parent = QModelIndex()) const override;
    QVariant data(const QModelIndex &index, int role = Qt::DisplayRole) const override;
};

mymodel.cpp

#include "mymodel.h"

MyModel::MyModel(QObject *parent) : QAbstractTableModel(parent)  { }

int MyModel::rowCount(const QModelIndex & /*parent*/) const
{
    return 2;
}

int MyModel::columnCount(const QModelIndex & /*parent*/) const
{
    return 3;
}

QVariant MyModel::data(const QModelIndex &index, int role) const
{
    if (role == Qt::DisplayRole) {
        return QString("Row%1, Column%2").arg(index.row() + 1).arg(index.column() +1);
    }
    else if (role == Qt::CheckStateRole) {
        return (index.column() == 0) ? Qt::Checked : Qt::Unchecked;
    }
    return QVariant();
}
Solution

  • Thalia, among several options, I liked this very simple one.

    #include <QApplication>
#include <QTableView>
#include <QStandardItemModel>
#include <QStyle>
#include <QItemDelegate>
#include <QPainter>

class Delegate : public QItemDelegate
{
private:
    QPixmap checkedPix, uncheckedPix;

public:
    Delegate(QObject *parent = nullptr):QItemDelegate(parent){
        checkedPix=qApp->style()->standardPixmap(QStyle::SP_DialogApplyButton);
        uncheckedPix=qApp->style()->standardPixmap(QStyle::SP_DialogCancelButton);
    }    

    void drawCheck(QPainter *painter,
                   const QStyleOptionViewItem &option,
                   const QRect &rect,
                   Qt::CheckState state) const{

        painter->drawPixmap(rect, state==Qt::Unchecked ? uncheckedPix:checkedPix);
    }
    
    /* you can also use: */ 

    // void drawDecoration(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QRect &rect, const QPixmap &pixmap) const{
    //  cell pixmap
    // }

    // void drawDisplay(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QRect &rect, const QString &text) const{
    //  cell text
    // }

    // void drawBackground(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const{
    //  cell background
    // }
};


int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QTableView tableView;
    QStandardItemModel myModel;
    tableView.setModel(&myModel);
    myModel.setRowCount(5);
    myModel.setColumnCount(1);
    tableView.setStyleSheet(" QTableView::indicator { width: 30px; height: 30px; }");

    tableView.setItemDelegateForColumn(0, new Delegate);//setItemDelegate, setItemDelegateForRow

    for(int row=0; row<myModel.rowCount(); row++){
        auto item=new QStandardItem("item");
        item->setCheckable(true);
        item->setCheckState(row%2==0 ? Qt::Checked : Qt::Unchecked);
        myModel.setItem(row, 0, item);
    }    

    tableView.show();
    return a.exec();
}
