Re: [Interest] How to get word that was clicked on in a table view or table widget?
Thanks for your tips, Tony. I'm going to try them. The model will be storing QStrings but I still need to figure out which class to use: a table widget or a table view, or maybe even a list widget (view).

I forgot to mention that the table view or table widget is not editable.

Hi Alexei, Interesting question. How does your model get the display text? I assume your model (or the QTableWidget model) is storing a QString. In the cell click handler you can theoretically: - push the display text into a QTextEdit (hidden for release builds) - format it with the same font, margins, etc, as the cell - set the max width to the cell width - use cursorForPosition to get a QTextCursor for the mouse offset within in the cell - select the current word using select(QTextCursor::WordUnderCursor) - use selectedText to get the word. The hard part is mimicking the formatting of the cell, and forcing the text edit to do its layout changes. Hope that helps, Tony.
