Detailed Description

The QItemEditorFactory class provides widgets for editing item data in views and delegates.

When editing the data shown by an item delegate, the QItemDelegate responsible requests an editor widget from its item editor factory by calling the createEditor() function. The default factory is provided by this class, but it is possible to implement subclasses that provide specialized editing behavior, such as row or column-specific editors, or editors for certain types of data.

Standard Editing Widgets

The standard factory implementation provides editors for a variety of data types. These are created whenever a delegate needs to provide an editor for data supplied by a model. The following table shows the relationship between types and the standard editors provided.

Type Editor Widget
bool QComboBox
double QDoubleSpinBox
int QSpinBox
unsigned int
QDate QDateEdit
QDateTime QDateTimeEdit
QPixmap QLabel
QString QLineEdit
QTime QTimeEdit


Additional editors can be registered for use with both standard and custom delegates with the registerEditor() function.
