    But you set them to the view and
    void Notepad::test()
    {
    ..
    ComboBoxDelegate comDel;; <<< lives here. not in class

    Will die as soon as test() is executed and the view will point to invalid object.

    here u give it address of this local variable that will be deleted soon.
    table->setItemDelegateForColumn( column, &comDel);

    So it does NOT look right to me :)

      you just new them instead :)
      ComboBoxDelegate * comDel = new ComboBoxDelegate ();
      Rest is 100% the same.
      except no & in
      table->setItemDelegateForColumn( column, &comDel);
      -->
      table->setItemDelegateForColumn( column, comDel);

          @mrjj The view does not take ownership of the delegate so you have to give a parent to comDel or it will leak

            Thanks. I thought setItemDelegateForColumn would - so thats a very good point;
            (Docs clearly states it do not so assumption is the mother of all fups :)

              Hi
              You changed to use new?
              So what is the exact issue?
              No deletegate is shown, or ?

                  Hi
                  That is a bug in your code, most likely.

                  Please use debugger and single step to find the line
                  that gives it.

                  Its very hard to guess by looking at code.

                  You get a Stack overflow - which often is a infinite loop or something like that.

                        Most likely in your delegate.
                        You can insert break point in each function and single step when you reach it.
                        That way you can find where it crashes.
                        No way i can just guess it, sadly.

                        if you think it crash in Notepad::test()
                        single step should find it.

                          Just wondering, but it seems you add a columnDelegate for every row you pass through. If I'm not mistaken, you should add a columnDelegate just once for the entire column.

                          And you seem to use a for-statement for setting the columDelegate, while you only execute it once. That doesn't make sense to me.

                          I'm not sure if this would fix anything of your problem, but I think you're code would benefit from it if you if you fixed this.

                            @mrjj i did debug by using break points, everything is working fine , in .cpp file up to return app.exec(); in main.cpp , here it is getting crash and showing this error.

                                hi
                                Sounds like you crash when close down then/cleaning up.
                                I think
                                @Jan-Willem has a point of you setting multiple times.
                                setItemDelegateForColumn( column, comDel);
                                It might delete it multiple times.
                                So please try set only once. (for test)

                                  hi
                                  Sounds like you crash when close down then/cleaning up.
                                  I think
                                  @Jan-Willem has a point of you setting multiple times.
                                  setItemDelegateForColumn( column, comDel);
                                  It might delete it multiple times.
                                  So please try set only once. (for test)

                                  In addidtion to @mrjj, I would suggest before or after the entire

                                  for (int row = 0; row < 4; ++row)

                                        @Jan-Willem yeah my code is like this only, but delegates are not assigning to the columns of table widget?

                                          The comDel is assigned to the entire column at index 0 with table->setItemDelegateForColumn(0, comDel).
