Hey Mohammed! The issue here is that right now you're just creating the checkbox item, but there's no link between clicking it and running your check_color_green function. Qt's signal-slot system is perfect for this—we can hook up the table's item change/click event to trigger your function instantly.

Here's how to implement it step by step:

1. Keep Your Existing Checkbox Setup #

First, your code for creating and adding the checkbox item is solid—keep that as is:

chkBoxItem = QTableWidgetItem()
chkBoxItem.setFlags(Qt.ItemIsUserCheckable | Qt.ItemIsEnabled)
chkBoxItem.setCheckState(Qt.Checked)
self.tableWidget_4.setItem(row_number, column_number, chkBoxItem)

2. Connect the Table's Signal to a Slot Function #

You need to link either the itemChanged or itemClicked signal from your tableWidget_4 to a custom slot function. Choose based on your needs:

• itemChanged: Triggers only when the checkbox's checked/unchecked state actually changes.
• itemClicked: Triggers every time the checkbox is clicked, even if the state stays the same.

Option 1: Use itemChanged (Recommended for State Changes) #

Add this to your widget's initialization code (like the __init__ method):

# Connect the state-change signal to our custom slot
self.tableWidget_4.itemChanged.connect(self.on_checkbox_state_changed)

Then define the slot function:

def on_checkbox_state_changed(self, item):
    # Ensure we only react to clicks on the checkbox column
    if item.column() == column_number:  # Replace with your actual checkbox column index
        target_row = item.row()
        self.check_color_green(target_row)

Option 2: Use itemClicked (For Instant Click Response) #

If you want the function to run every time the checkbox is clicked (regardless of state change), use this instead:

# Connect the click signal to our slot
self.tableWidget_4.itemClicked.connect(self.on_checkbox_clicked)

And the corresponding slot:

def on_checkbox_clicked(self, item):
    if item.column() == column_number:  # Replace with your checkbox column index
        target_row = item.row()
        self.check_color_green(target_row)

How This Works #

Qt's signal-slot system is event-driven—when the checkbox is interacted with, the table emits a signal that our slot function catches. We first verify we're dealing with the correct column (so other table clicks don't trigger the function), then grab the row number and pass it directly to check_color_green. No page refresh required—this happens instantly in the background.

Quick Initial Setup Tip #

If you're adding multiple checkboxes during initialization, connect the signal after you've added all checkbox items. This prevents the initial setCheckState calls from triggering the function unnecessarily.
