How can I tell a QTableWidget to end editing a cell?

Answer 1

QTableWidget inherits 19 public slots from QWidget. One of those is setDisabled(), which should disable input events for that widget and all of its children.

I would try:

table.setDisabled( true );
table.setDisabled( false );

Although you said it does not work for you, there is an alternative method: If you don't like that (the table loses focus, I believe), you can try using EditTriggers. For example:

table.setEditTriggers( QAbstractItemView::NoEditTriggers );

Answer 2

You may be able to use QTableWidget.closePersistentEditor() to close the editor. However, QAbstractItemView.closeEditor() may be closer to what you want, especially since you seem to be comfortable with the QModelIndex-based API and are already using a custom editor widget.
