Is it possible to override non-virtual slots in Qt?

I would like to run some of my code when the resizeColumnsToContents slot gets called. However the resizeColumnToContents slot is not virtual. Is there any other way to achieve this?



If the slot was virtual this is what I would like to do:



class DerivedTableView : public QTableView
{
public:
void resizeColumnsToContents()
{
printf("The user wants to resize the columnsn");
QTableView::resizeColumnsToContents();
}
};

    You cannot override non virtual function. Who calls resizeColumnsToContents slot? It's connected to a signal, right? To which one? You can implement your own slot (function) and connect the same signal to that very slot instead.

  • Ah, great idea. I'll try that. Thank you.

    Ok, I found that QHeaderView::sectionHandleDoubleClicked signal calls this slot. Fortunately it is accessible and I can use to connect to my slot. Awesome, thank you.

  • Well you can actually override a non-virtual function as long as you don't call it on a motherclass type pointer, but in your case this is not relevant.
