In a QTableVew, how to get text to flow into the adjacent cell?

[dave2]

Hi,

In Excel, if I do this:
* open a new, blank spreadsheet
* write "foo" in cell B1
* write "this is a long sentence" in cell A1
I can see:
* in cell A1: "this is a lo"
* in cell B1: "foo"

Then, if I delete the text ("foo") from cell B1, the text that was entered into A1 is now entirely visible:
* in cell A1: "this is a lo"
* in cell B1: "ng text"

Now, how could one get this behaviour in a QTableView?

I have tried severay things (such as setTextElideMode()), but in all cases the text entered in a cell that does not fit into it never shows up in the adjacent, textless cell. So, in the Excel example above, when cell B1 has no text, cell A1 would show "this is a lo", and cell B1 would show nothing.

Is there a simple way (that I missed) to get this behaviour in a QTableView?

I use Qt 4.6.2 on Windows.

Is QTableView::setSpan() what you are looking for?

Yes, that's it :)

Thanks!
