## Detailed Description

The QTableView class provides a default model/view implementation of a table view.

A QTableView implements a table view that displays items from a model. This class is used to provide standard tables that were previously provided by the `QTable` class, but using the more flexible approach provided by Qt's model/view architecture.

The QTableView class is one of the Model/View Classes and is part of Qt's model/view framework.

QTableView implements the interfaces defined by the QAbstractItemView class to allow it to display data provided by models derived from the QAbstractItemModel class.

The table has a vertical header that can be obtained using the verticalHeader() function, and a horizontal header that is available through the horizontalHeader() function. Each of the rows in the table can be found by using rowHeight(); similarly, the width of columns can be found using columnWidth().

Rows and columns can be hidden and shown with hideRow(), hideColumn(), showRow(), and showColumn(). They can be selected with selectRow() and selectColumn(). The table will show a grid depending on the showGrid property.

For some specialized forms of tables it is useful to be able to convert between row and column indexes and widget coordinates. The rowAt() function provides the y-coordinate within the view of the specified row; the row index can be used to obtain a corresponding y-coordinate with rowViewportPosition(). The columnAt() and columnViewportPosition() functions provide the equivalent conversion operations between x-coordinates and column indexes.

## Property Documentation

### gridStyle : Qt::PenStyle

This property holds the pen style used to draw the grid.

This property holds the style used when drawing the grid (see showGrid).

Access functions:

- Qt::PenStyle gridStyle () const
- void setGridStyle ( Qt::PenStyle style )

### showGrid : bool

This property holds whether the grid is shown.

If this property is true a grid is drawn for the table; if the property is false, no grid is drawn. The default value is true.

Access functions:

- bool showGrid () const
- void setShowGrid ( bool show )

### void QTableView::setHorizontalHeader ( QHeaderView * header )

Sets the widget to use for the vertical header to header.
