PyQt5 >= 5.8

Many methods is changed/overriden because of the fact that check box being used in first column.
setHorizontalHeaderLabels(labels: typing.Iterable[str])- Sets horizontal header label except for first column (for check box), automatically set the count of the columns based on labelsclearContents(start_r_idx=0)- Remove all contents including check box from start_r_idxsetDefaultValueOfCheckBox(flag: bool)- Self-explanatory.stretchEveryColumnExceptForCheckBox()- Apply self.horizontalHeader().setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView.Stretch) except for first column, which is for check box.setRowCount(rows: int)insertRow(rows: int)toggleState(state)- Toggle every single checkbox. State should be Qt.CheckState. You can see how to use this feature in Code Example 2 below.getCheckedRows()- Return the list of indexes of row which are checked.getUncheckedRows()setCheckedAt(idx: int, f: bool)- If f is True, the check box at idx is checked. f is False, the check box at idx is unchecked.removeCheckedRows()removeUncheckedRows()
Code Example 1
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QTableWidgetItem from pyqt_checkbox_table_widget.checkBoxTableWidget import CheckBoxTableWidget if __name__ == "__main__": import sys app = QApplication(sys.argv) widget = CheckBoxTableWidget() widget.setRowCount(3) widget.setItem(0, 1, QTableWidgetItem('abc')) # Remember column argument should be at least 1 (if it is zero, item will cover the checkbox cell) widget.show() app.exec_()
