Why isnt MyItemDelegate working??? please help!

[Slewman]

so i am trying to get an icon to fill up the space of a QTableWidgetItem. so i subclassed the ItemDelegate and set it to my QTableWidget, but still, the icons wont fill out the item in the table.

here is my code... below is what i have at the top of my *.cpp file



class MyItemDelegate: public QItemDelegate
{
public:
MyItemDelegate(QObject* pParent = 0) : QItemDelegate(pParent)
{
std::cout<<"INSIDE DELEGATE PAINT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"<<std::endl;
}
void MyItemDelegate::paint(QPainter* painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index) const
{
QIcon icon = qvariant_cast<QIcon>(index.data(Qt::DecorationRole));
drawBackground(painter, option, index);
drawDecoration(painter, option, option.rect, icon.pixmap(option.rect.size()));
drawFocus(painter, option, option.rect);
std::cout<<"INSIDE DELEGATE PAINT"<<std::endl;
}
};


and here is where i am setting the delegate to my table



mThumbArea->setItemDelegate(new MyItemDelegate(mThumbArea));


here is where i add the icon to the table



QTableWidgetItem *newItemImage = new QTableWidgetItem(QIcon(filename),"");
mThumbArea->setItem(0,0,newItemImage);


filename is valid, and the item is successfully added to the table, its just that the icon is much too small... what is happening!!!

QIcon.pixmap() says:

Returns a pixmap with the requested size, mode, and state, generating one if necessary. The pixmap might be smaller than requested, but never larger.
Maybe go:

icon.pixmap(QSize(50,50));
Just to see if it get's bigger?

No that didnt change the size. the icon is still scaled down and shoved to the left side of the item box.

anyone have any ideas? ive been banging my head against my computer all day yesterday and today... i cant seem to figure out what the problem is!

[Slewman]

do i have to continuously set my item delegate whenever i am trying to add an item to my table or do i only need to set the item delegate once in the constructor of my class... seriously... i dont know what im doing wrong... trying EVERYTHING!
