Detailed Description

SelectionRectangle is used for selecting table cells in a TableView. It lets the user start a selection by doing a pointer drag inside the viewport, or by doing a long press on top of a cell.
For a SelectionRectangle to be able to select cells, TableView must have an ItemSelectionModel assigned. The ItemSelectionModel will store any selections done on the model, and can be used for querying which cells that the user has selected.
The following example shows how you can make a SelectionRectangle target a TableView:
     TableView {
         id: tableView
         anchors.fill: parent
         clip: true
         model: TableModel {
             TableModelColumn { display: "name" }
             rows: [ { "name": "Harry" }, { "name": "Hedwig" } ]
         }
         selectionModel: ItemSelectionModel {
             model: tableView.model
         }
         delegate: Rectangle {
             implicitWidth: 100
             implicitHeight: 30
             color: selected ? "blue" : "lightgray"
             required property bool selected
             Text { text: display }
         }
     }
     SelectionRectangle {
         target: tableView
     }
Note: A SelectionRectangle itself is not shown as part of a selection. Only the delegates (like topLeftHandle and bottomRightHandle) are used. You should also consider rendering the TableView delegate as selected.

Property Documentation
| 
active : bool  | 
This property is true while the user is performing a selection. The selection will be active from the time the the user starts to select, and until the selection is removed again, for example from tapping inside the viewport.
| bottomRightHandle : Component | 
This property holds the delegate that will be shown on the center of the top-left corner of the selection rectangle. When a handle is provided, the user can drag it to adjust the selection.
The handle is not hidden by default when a selection is removed. Instead, this is the responsibility of the delegate, to open up for custom fade-out animations. The easiest way to ensure that the handle ends up hidden, is to simply bind visible to the active state of the SelectionRectangle:
SelectionRectangle { bottomRightHandle: Rectangle { width: 20 height: 20 visible: SelectionRectangle.control.active } }
Set this property to null if you don't want a selection handle on the bottom-right.
See also topLeftHandle.
| 
dragging : bool  | 
This property is true whenever the user is doing a pointer drag or a handle drag to adjust the selection rectangle.
| selectionMode : enumeration | 
This property holds when a selection should start.
| Constant | Description | 
|---|---|
| SelectionRectangle.Drag | A selection will start by doing a pointer drag inside the viewport | 
| SelectionRectangle.PressAndHold | A selection will start by doing a press and hold on top a cell | 
| SelectionRectangle.Auto | SelectionRectangle will choose which mode to use based on the target and the platform. This normally means PressAndHoldon touch based platforms, andDragon desktop. However,Dragwill only be used if it doesn't conflict with flicking. This means that TableView will need to be configured withinteractiveset tofalse, or placed inside a ScrollView (where flicking, by default, is off for mouse events), forDragto be chosen. | 
The default value is Auto.
| target : Item | 
This property holds the TableView on which the SelectionRectangle should act.
| topLeftHandle : Component | 
This property holds the delegate that will be shown on the center of the top-left corner of the selection rectangle. When a handle is provided, the user can drag it to adjust the selection.
The handle is not hidden by default when a selection is removed. Instead, this is the responsibility of the delegate, to open up for custom fade-out animations. The easiest way to ensure that the handle ends up hidden, is to simply bind visible to the active state of the SelectionRectangle:
SelectionRectangle { topLeftHandle: Rectangle { width: 20 height: 20 visible: SelectionRectangle.control.active } }
Set this property to null if you don't want a selection handle on the top-left.
See also bottomRightHandle.
