Can a QListView support multi-column?

**wesley** · 7th March 2008, 02:19

I am using Qtopia4.3.2 to implement a multi-column list view.

But I don't want to use QTreeView. Because it seems more expensive on resource.
and I don't need a hierarchical architecture.

I want my list view work like a QListView, but i may have some column in one item.

I notice that there is a interface setModelColumn() , does it work?

Can some one give me some suggestion>? thanks/

There is no such thing as columns in QListView. QListView represents a flow of items. The flow of items can be in "list mode" or "icon mode" and optionally it can be wrapping. Multiple columns do not fit to this concept.

QListView can represent a single column. This sets the column it represents.

QTreeView is the way to go, unless you want to write a view of your own, which would be a big amount of work. Did you notice QTreeView::uniformRowHeights?

yes, I had tried to implement it use QListView, but it seems very hard.

and now, i am prefer the QTreeView,. How can i do the maximum optimizations if I want to my multi-column list view work like a QListView, just can show some column on one item, of course, the columns on one row item haf focus.

So, I don't need the QTreeView's hierarchical architecture, and its expand/collapse, etc.

HOw can i have a prefer multi-column list view? Is there some example?

thank you..!!!
