Alignment of HORIZONTAL HEADERS in a QTableView

Hi everyone,

Whenever I am setting a QSqlQueryModel in a QTableView, the column names by default are CENTER-ALIGNED. Like, suppose I have an user table with fields UserID, Name, and Address. Then this field names in the header section are by default center-aligned. But i want to make them left aligned.
For example from google i found out this link: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot...plastique.html .
In that link the tableview's style is set to "Plastique" and we can clearly see that the horizontal headers are left aligned. Though i tried some codes, but still I just am not able to figure out how to do it from my code.

I would really appreciate any help that i would get regarding this.

QHeaderView::setDefaultAlignment() not what you want?

Hei chris, that is all i wanted. Thanks a ton for it. I did it like this:

Code:

---

ui->tableview->horizontalHeaderview->setDefaultAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft);

---

Thanks once again. :)

QTableWidget->horizontalHeader()->setDefaultAlignment() in case you don't know how to get the header view.

One more thing Chris. As i mentioned above, now i am able to change the alignment from my code. But is the same thing possible using the style-sheet of the table view?
I mean, in the stylesheet i mentioned the following properties:
"alignment: left;" or "default-align: left;" or "horizontal align: left;" . But none of them working. So do you know the correct statement to be put in the stylesheet?

If it is going to work (and I don't know... I haven't tried) I expect it would be the style sheet of the QHeaderView, not the QTableView, that you want to change.

Well, actually i meant changing the style sheet from the Gui rather than the code. Because from the code anyway i am able to do it (as per the hint given by you). From the Gui i drag and drop a Table View on the widget. Then i right click on the tableview and click "Change Stylesheet". So, this way i cant separately do it for QHeaderView, right?

If you attach a style sheet to the table view the QHeaderView, as a child widget, should inherit it. All you need to do is target the header view in the style sheet.
Why don't you try it?

You can change style of QHeaderView from Designer.

Edit stylesheet of the table and use QHeaderView { background-color:red; } to manipulate row and column headres are on, or QHeaderView:section { background-color:blue; } to manilulate header elements.
Unfortunatley as far as I know you can't change text alignment of QHeaderView's text using stylesheets.

More info here.

Thanks Chris and Spitfire,

Today i tried that way by giving QHeaderView {}. Whatever i gave regarding the spacing or colour or font, it worked. But whatever i gave for alignment, it didn't work. If sometime, any of you happen to do it from stylesheet, then please do inform me. For the moment it's fine as i am able to do it from code.

Thanks once again. :)
