QWidgetItem override by setDefaultFactory in PyQt4 Example coloreditorfactory

Question

has anyone tried they PyQt4 example coloreditorfactory?

Normally, I can create editable QWidgetItem with the setFlags() or setData() method, but it does not work after setDefaultFactory method. I saw some documentation that said all new or existing delegates will be overriden by setDefaultFactory.

Is there any method to make QWidgetItem editable again? or revert setDefaultFactory? thanks~ (Except QTextEdit or QLineEdit, etc.)

As its name implies, the default factory will provide the item editor for all new and existing delegates. So if you want a factory to work with a specific delegate, set the factory on that delegate only:

class Window(QtGui.QWidget):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(Window, self).__init__(parent)
        self.createGUI()

    def createGUI(self):
        ...    
        self.delegate = QtGui.QStyledItemDelegate(self)
        factory = QtGui.QItemEditorFactory()
        factory.registerEditor(QtCore.QVariant.Color,
                ColorListItemEditorCreator())
        self.delegate.setItemEditorFactory(factory)
        table.setItemDelegateForColumn(1, self.delegate)
        ...
