## Detailed Description

The QTableWidgetItem class provides an item for use with the QTableWidget class.

Table items are used to hold pieces of information for table widgets. Items usually contain text, icons, or checkboxes

The QTableWidgetItem class is a convenience class that replaces the `QTableItem` class in Qt 3. It provides an item for use with the QTableWidget class.

Top-level items are constructed without a parent then inserted at the position specified by a pair of row and column numbers:

            QTableWidgetItem *newItem = new QTableWidgetItem(tr("%1").arg(
                pow(row, column+1)));
            tableWidget->setItem(row, column, newItem);

Each item can have its own background color which is set with the setBackgroundColor() function. The current background color can be found with backgroundColor(). The text label for each item can be rendered with its own font and text color. These are specified with the setFont() and setTextColor() functions, and read with font() and textColor().

By default, items are enabled, editable, selectable, checkable, and can be used both as the source of a drag and drop operation and as a drop target. Each item's flags can be changed by calling setFlags() with the appropriate value (see Qt::ItemFlags). Checkable items can be checked and unchecked with the setChecked() function. The corresponding checked() function indicates whether the item is currently checked.

See also write().

### void QTableWidgetItem::setBackgroundColor ( const QColor & color )

Sets the item's background color to the specified color.

See also backgroundColor() and setTextColor().

### void QTableWidgetItem::setCheckState ( Qt::CheckState state )

Sets the check state of the table item to be state.

See also checkState().

### void QTableWidgetItem::setData ( int role, const QVariant & value ) `[virtual]`

Sets the item's data for the given role to the specified value.

See also data().

### void QTableWidgetItem::setFlags ( Qt::ItemFlags flags )

Sets the flags for the item to the given flags. These determine whether the item can be selected or modified.

See also flags().

Sets the item's icon to the icon specified.

See also icon(), setText(), and iconSize.

### void QTableWidgetItem::setSizeHint ( const QSize & size )

Sets the size hint for the table item to be size. If no size hint is set, the item delegate will compute the size hint based on the item data.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.1.

See also sizeHint().

### void QTableWidgetItem::setStatusTip ( const QString & statusTip )

Sets the item's status tip to the string specified by statusTip.

See also statusTip(), setToolTip(), and setWhatsThis().
