[PyQt] displaying icon and text in one QListWidgetItem on QListWidget

[naoyamakino]

I am currently implementing an instant messenger called Pendulim (http://code.google.com/p/pendulim/) written in Python using PyQt4,
and I am having a trouble with displaying emoticons and text in one line on
chat window.

I am using QListWidget to display conversations and each line as
QListWidgetItem. the trouble is that i cannot add or append QListWidgetItem,
so I can't combine emoticon and string.

this is a chatwindow class.
http://code.google.com/p/pendulim/source/browse/trunk/pendulim/current_build/interface/ChatWindow.py

for example:

item = QtGui.QListWidgetItem(self.convoWindow)
emoticon = QtGui.QListWidgetItem(self.convoWindow)
icon = QtGui.QIcon()
icon.addPixmap(QtGui.QPixmap(path), QtGui.QIcon.Normal, QtGui.QIcon.Off)
emoticon.setIcon(icon)
item.setText(some_string)
#here i would like to combine item and emoticon so that I can display it in
one line

Is there any way to display icon and string in one QListWidgetItem? or is
there any alternative way to meet the need?
I would very appreciate if you could give me any kind of help.
thank you for consideration.

Best regards

What is the effect you obtain? The code you have shown looks correct and should work fine.

hi wysota, your reply on another post solved a problem. the effect I was getting here was that text and emoticons are in the different lines. the code works fine, but I needed to show emoticons and text in the same line. so i decided to use QTextedit instead.

for a reference, here is the another post that has a solution to display emoticon and text showing in one line (not using QListWidgetItem)
