Set initial text when editing a QTableView cell

Question

I've subclassed QAbstractTableModel and overrode the flags() method so that some of the table cells are editable. The problem is that when I start editing, the existing cell value is erased. I would like to initially have the existing cell value selected. How can I do this?

The solution is to handle Qt::EditRole when overriding data(). I was previously only handling Qt::DisplayRole.

You could also use a delegate and set it in `setEditorData`. – eric Oct 11 '15 at 02:16
