Question

I have a QTableView instance limited to a single row selection. I don’t want to care about what cell the user presses, but it should always extract the data in (selectedRow,0).

So far I am doing the following:

QModelIndexList indices = _ui->_tbl->selectionModel()->selection().indexes();
QModelIndex id = indices.at(0).sibling(indices.at(0).row(),0);

Is there a better way?

Answer 1

As stated in Qt doc concerning currentIndex :

Unless the current selection mode is NoSelection, the item is also be
selected

So you can do it quicker :

QModelIndex index = _ui->_tbl->currentIndex() ;
QModelIndex id = index.sibling(index.row(),0) ;
