如何使QListWidget项目可编辑

Question

I am new to PyQt. I first made a dialog in Qt Designer, and implemented simple add, delete, up, down operations in a QListWidget. All my operations except edit worked a charm, so I did a lot of searching about how to make items editable, but results were not satisfactory. I was able to edit by using openPersistentEditor and closePersistentEditor , but the way it behaved was not what I wanted. I simply want the items to be editable when double-clicked or when the edit button is pressed, like in a normal gui.

My Qt Designer code is:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# Form implementation generated from reading ui file 'myDialog.ui'
#
# Created by: PyQt5 UI code generator 5.6

I am trying to make simple edit button that enables editing in currentSelection.Thats it

You need to set the item-flags to make the items editable. You can do that in your code like this:

class window(QtWidgets.QDialog):
    def __init__(self):
        ...
        listwidget = self.dialogClass.mylist
        for index in range(listwidget.count()):
            item = listwidget.item(index)
            item.setFlags(item.flags() | QtCore.Qt.ItemIsEditable)
        ...

The flags can also be set in Qt Designer. Use the following steps to do that:

1. double-click the list-widget to show the Edit List Widget dialog
2. in the dialog, select an item and click the Properties button
3. scroll down to the bottom of the properties list
4. check the checkbox for the Editable flag

To start editing an item from code, you can use a method like this:

def edit_current(self):
    index = self.dialogClass.mylist.currentIndex()
    if index.isValid():
        item = self.dialogClass.mylist.itemFromIndex(index)
        if not item.isSelected():
            item.setSelected(True)
        self.dialogClass.mylist.edit(index)
