I have a populated TableWidget where I would like to know which row(s) were selected by the user. Usually I'd use
tableWidget.doubleClicked.connect(self.table_instruments_doubleclicked)
def table_instruments_doubleclicked(self,line):
name = self.tableWidget.item(line.row(),0).text()
to get the selected row number but I have a sortable table so I guess the row indexes are mixed up.
Is there a way to assign a unique index (or even better a python object) to every row, so when the user selects a row I can get back my own id / object?
For a tablewidget, use the item-based signals:
tableWidget.itemDoubleClicked.connect(self.table_instruments_doubleclicked)
def table_instruments_doubleclicked(self, item):
name = item.text()
Finally I found that a data segment can be assigned into every cell of the table:
object = new_object()
tableitem_date = QTableWidgetItem()
tableitem_date.setText("Content to add")
tableitem_date.setData(1,object)
Then you can simply ready the stored object
def table_instruments_doubleclicked(self,line):
name = self.tableWidget.item(line.row(),0).data(1)

I'm learning about Power Builder, and i don't know how to use these, (DWitemstatus, getnextmodified, modifiedcount, getitemstatus, NotModified!, DataModified!, New!, NewModified!)
please help me.
Thanks for read !
These relate to the status of rows in a datawindow. Generally the rows are retrieved from a database but this doesn't always have to be the case - data can be imported from a text file, XML, JSON, etc. as well.
DWItemstatus - these values are constants and describe how the data would be changed in the database.
Values are:
NotModified! - data unchanged since retrieved
DataModified! - data in one or more columns has changed
New! - row is new but no values have been assigned
NewModifed! - row is new and at least one value has been assigned to a column.
So in terms of SQL, a row which is not modified would not generate any SQL to the DBMS. A DataModified row would typically generate an UPDATE statement. New and NewModifed would typically generate INSERT statements.
GetNextModifed is a method to search a set of rows in a datawindow to find the modified rows within that set. The method takes a buffer parameter and a row parameter. The datawindow buffers are Primary!, Filter!, and Delete!. In general you would only look at the Primary buffer.
ModifedCount is a method to determine the number of rows which have been modifed in a datawindow. Note that deleting a row is not considered a modification. To find the number of rows deleted use the DeletedCount method.
GetItemStatus is a method to get the status of column within a row in a data set in a datawindow. It takes the parameters row, column (name or number), and DWBuffer.
So now an example of using this:
// loop through rows checking for changes
IF dw_dash.Modifiedcount() > 0 THEN
ll = dw_dash.GetNextModified(0,Primary!)
ldw = dw_dash
DO WHILE ll > 0
// watch value changed
IF ldw.GetItemStatus(ll,'watch',Primary!) = DataModified! THEN
event we_post_item(ll, 'watch', ldw)
END IF
// followup value changed
IF ldw.GetItemStatus(ll,'followupdate',Primary!) = DataModified! THEN
event we_post_item(ll, 'followupdate', ldw)
END IF
ll = ldw.GetNextModified(ll,Primary!)
LOOP
ldw.resetupdate() //reset the modifed flags
END IF
In this example we first check to see if any row in the datawindow has been modified. Then we get the first modified row and check if either the 'watch' or 'followupdate' columns were changed. If they were we trigger an event to do something. We then loop to the next modified row and so on. Finally we reset the modified flags so the row would now show as not being mofified.
I have a set of unique items (Index) to each of which are associated various elements of another set of items (in this case, dates).
In real life, if a date is associated with an index, an item associated with that index appeared in a file generated on that date. For combination of dates that actually occurs, I want to know which accounts were present.
let
Source = Table.FromRecords({
[Idx = 0, Dates = {#date(2016,1,1), #date(2016,1,2), #date(2016,1,3)}],
[Idx = 1, Dates = {#date(2016,2,1), #date(2016,2,2), #date(2016,2,3)}],
[Idx = 2, Dates = {#date(2016,1,1), #date(2016,1,2), #date(2016,1,3)}]},
type table [Idx = number, Dates = {date}]),
// Group by
Grouped = Table.Group(Source, {"Dates"}, {{"Idx", each List.Combine({[Idx]}), type {number}}}),
// Clicking on the item in the top left corner generates this code:
Navigation = Grouped{[Dates={...}]}[Dates],
// Which returns this error: "Expression.Error: Value was not specified"
// My own code to reference the same value returns {0,2} as expected.
CorrectValue = Grouped{0}[Idx],
// If I re-make the table as below the above error does not occur.
ReMakeTable = Table.FromColumns(Table.ToColumns(Grouped), Table.ColumnNames(Grouped))
in ReMakeTable
It seems that I can use the results of this in my later work even without the Re-make (I just can't preview cells correctly), but I'd like to know if what's going on that causes the error and the odd code at the Navigation step, and why it disappears after the ReMakeTable step.
This happens because when you double click an item, the auto-generated code uses value filter instead of row index that you are using to get the single row from the table. And since you have a list as a value, it should be used instead of {...}. Probably UI isn't capable to work with lists in such a situation, and it inserts {...}, and this is indeed an incorrect value.
Thus, this line of code should look like:
Navigate = Grouped{[Dates = {#date(2016,1,1), #date(2016,1,2), #date(2016,1,3)}]}[Idx],
Then it will use value filter.
This is a bug in the UI. The index the UI calculates is incorrect: it should be 0 instead of [Dates={...}]. ... is a placeholder value, and it generates the "Value was not specified" exception if it is not replaced.
I am using openpyxl to copy data from an Excel spreadsheet. The data is a table for an inventory database, where each row is an entry in the database. I read the table one row at a time using a for loop. In order to determine the range of the for loop, I wrote a function that examines each cell in the table to find the height of the table.
Code:
def find_max(self, sheet, row, column):
max_row = 0
cell_top = sheet.cell(row = row - 1, column = column)
while cell_top.value != None:
cell = sheet.cell(row = row, column = column)
max = 0
while cell.value != None or sheet.cell(row = row + 1, column = column).value != None:
row += 1
max = max + 1
cell = sheet.cell(row = row, column = column)
if max > max_row:
max_row = max
cell_top = sheet.cell(row = row, column = column + 1)
return max_row
To summarize the function, I move to the next column in the worksheet and then iterate through every cell in that sheet, keeping track of its height until there are no more columns. The catch about this function is that it has to find two empty cells in a row in order to fail the condition. In a previous version I used a similar approach, but only used one column and stopped as soon as I found a blank cell. I had to change it so the program would still run if the user forgot to fill out a column. This function works okay for a small table, but on a table with several hundred entries this makes the program run much slower.
My question is this: What can I do to make this more efficient? I know nesting a while loop like that makes a program take longer but I do not see how to get around it. I have to make the program as foolproof as possible, so I need to check more than one column to stop user errors from failing the program
This is untested, but every time I've used openpyxl, I iterate over all rows like so:
for row in active_worksheet:
do_something_to(row)
so you could count like:
count = 0
for row in active_worksheet:
count += 1
EDIT: This is a better solution: Is it possible to get an Excel document's row count without loading the entire document into memory?
Read-only mode works row-by-row on the source so you probably want to hook it into it. Alternatively, you could pass the cells of the of a worksheet into something like a Pandas matrix which has indices for empty cells.
I want to loop thru a dbf and create word table for each record meeting the condition, and I got a one-page report with only the last rec in a single table. Look like all records are written to the same table. I tried to use n = n + 1 to place the variable as an element to the table
oTable = oDoc.tables[n]
But seems it only support numerical rather than variable ?
You have to add each table as you go, making sure to leave space in between them (because Word likes to combine tables).
You'll need something like this inside your loop:
* Assumes you start with oDoc pointing to the document,
* oRange set to an empty range at the beginning of the area where you want to add the tables,
* and that nRows and nCols give you the size of the table.
oTable = oDoc.Tables.Add(m.oRange, m.nRows, m.nCols)
oRange = oTable.Range()
oRange.Collapse(0)
oRange.InsertParagraphAfter()
oRange.Collapse(0)
After this code, you can use oTable to add the data you want to add. Then, on the next time through the loop, you're ready to add another table below the one you just filled.
I am using PowerBuilder classic 12.5
am having difficulties in inserting, editing, creating and printing reports.
i have a datawindow, dw_NewEmployee with dataobject, d_newrecord which is update-able.
should i use the columns to insert records through the columns or i
create single line texts on the window object
is the itemchanged event used on columns and rows on dataobject or
on single line texts... I am having trouble figuring out how to implement validation rules.
please give me an example to validate employee ID_Number
I see that you seem confused about the datawindow usage.
Let's try to summarize:
you create a new datawindow d_newrecord (say it is a grid) based on a sql select in your database, say select id_number, name from employee.
in the detail zone of the datawindow (that will be repeated for each record at runtime but that is only once in design), you need to put one column object for each column (here you will have id_number and name) these objects are both to display existing data and receive user input for editing data and inserting new records.
don't forget to set the Rows / Update properties if you need to make the dw updatable.
in the header zone of the datawindow you can have a static text associated to each column that is just here to display the column name, it does not concern table data.
in some window object, you place a datawindow control dw_newemployee where the content of the datawindow will be painted, you set d_newrecord as its dataobject.
you need to set at some point the transaction object of the dw, for example in the open() event of the window:
dw_newemployee.SetTransObject(sqlca)
dw_newemployee.Retreive() //if you are using some retreival arguments, don't forget to include them here
When you want to insert new data in your table (for example with a window button "add"), in the clicked() event of the button you call dw_newemployee.InsertRow(0) to insert at the end.
The ItemChanged() event will be triggered after one cell will be modified, you will be given the row, item (a dwobject) and new data. By choosing the returned value of the event, you can accept or reject the new data.
Here is an example for a field validation in itemchanged() event:
long ll_return_code = 0
string ls_column
ls_column = lower(dwo.name)
choose case ls_column
case "id_number"
if long(data) = 42 THEN
messagebox("validation error", "You cannot use 42 for the ID")
ll_return_code = 1 //reject and stay in cell
end if
case "name"
if data = "foobar" then
messagebox("validation error", "Do not use dummy value...")
ll_return_code = 2 //reject but allow to go elsewhere
end if
end choose
return ll_return_code
