Rich text in QListView

[Fenix Voltres]

Hello, I've got a model with two columns of strings and I want to have them displayed in QListView as one rich formatted text - what is the simpliest solution? Do I have to extend QStyledItemDelegate in order to do that? Or insert QLabel into QListView?

the easiest and best way would be a delegate as you mentioned. With it data function you can access both columns and paint them. If you want rich text support use a QTextDocument to render it (only when really needed).

OK, let's say that I did it - got my own delegate and it displays text as I wanted, BUT - do I have to rewrite whole painting? Is there any possibility to use it from QItemDelegate instead? (I mean selection rects etc., now my text disappears when has mouse over it.)

Then first call the base class function and then do your painting. But better do all "yourself": See QStylePainter to get the job easier done.

Then I would have text rendered two times - as plain and rich at the same time. Thanks for the info, I'll check the QStylePainter class out.
