[PyQt] [PYQT5]Highlight search results in qtablewidget(select and highlight that text or character not all of the row or column)

[Maurizio Berti]

I know you already found a solution, but I decided to give it a try anyway,
just out of curiosity.
I didn't like the idea of using another QWidget, which might involve QStyle
issues, then I found out that it's possible to use QTextDocument.
This is a simple implementation that just matches the text in all items (no
actual search in the model).


class MatchDelegate(QtWidgets.QStyledItemDelegate):
    regex = re.compile('')
    fakeIndex = QtCore.QModelIndex()

    def paint(self, qp, option, index):
        self.initStyleOption(option, index)
        td = QtGui.QTextDocument()
        if self.regex.pattern:
            splitted = self.regex.split(option.text)
            matches = iter(self.regex.findall(option.text))
            text = ''
            for words in splitted[:-1]:
                text += words + '<b>{}</b>'.format(matches.next())
            text += splitted[-1]
        else:
            text = option.text
        td.setHtml(text)
        option.text = ''
        # Using an invalid index avoids painting of the text
        QtWidgets.QStyledItemDelegate.paint(self, qp, option,
self.fakeIndex)
        qp.save()
        qp.translate(option.rect.topLeft())
        td.drawContents(qp, QtCore.QRectF(0, 0, option.rect.width(),
option.rect.height()))
        qp.restore()


class Widget(QtWidgets.QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        [...]
        self.delegate = MatchDelegate()
        self.table.setItemDelegate(self.delegate)
        self.search = QtWidgets.QLineEdit()
        self.search.textChanged.connect(self.findText)
        [...]

    def findText(self, text):
        self.delegate.regex = re.compile(text, re.I)
        self.table.viewport().update()


Of course it doesn't take the text size change into account whenever bold
characters are in place, so the sizeHint is not perfect. Also, it might be
possible to implement QFontMetrics' elidedText, again with some small
issues about font size changes.
