Need help with my delegate

[tbscope]

You should also implement sizeHint() to let the view know how big each item is.
I guess in your case, you could just double the height (more or less).

Is sizeHint a method of QItemDelegate or an attribute of QItemDelegate ? Or an attribute of my QTextDocument ? Any example somewhere to implement this ? cause I don't know how to double the actual value.

Thanks

sizeHint() is a function of a widget which returns how big the widget is.

Example:

QSize AlertDelegate::sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const
 {
     // Do some checks with the text document so you know the returned value is correct. If you use a pointer for example, check if it exists. etc...
 
    return myDoubleLineTextDocument.sizeHint();
 }

QSize AlertDelegate::sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const
 {
     // Do some checks with the text document so you know the returned value is correct. If you use a pointer for example, check if it exists. etc...

    return myDoubleLineTextDocument.sizeHint();
 }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

You will need to define your textdocument more accessible in your delegate.

QTextDocument has no member sizeHint()cause it inherits QObject and not QWidget. And what about painter and context ?

[tbscope]

It has a size() function.

Or whatever else that you can use to get the size of the text.

It works quite great. But each time I update my model (with clear() and appendRow()), some space must appear on the right side of the text beacause the horizontal scrollbar gets smaller each update.
