QTableView and column resize problem

[winkle98]

Your example does work for me. However, the difference is that I need for column 2 to show the elides and column 4 to be hidden. What I'm doing is more:

#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
    QStringListModel model;
    model.setStringList(QStringList() << "Very very long line of text"
                        << "Very very long line of text"
                        << "short text"
                        << "short text");
 
    QTableView view;
    view.setModel(&model);
    view.horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode( 0, QHeaderView::Interactive);
    view.horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode( 1, QHeaderView::Stretch );
    view.setSectionHidden( 2, true );
    view.setSectionHidden( 3, true );
    view.show();
 
    return a.exec();
}

#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
    QStringListModel model;
    model.setStringList(QStringList() << "Very very long line of text"
                        << "Very very long line of text"
                        << "short text"
                        << "short text");
 
    QTableView view;
    view.setModel(&model);
    view.horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode( 0, QHeaderView::Interactive);
    view.horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode( 1, QHeaderView::Stretch );
    view.setSectionHidden( 2, true );
    view.setSectionHidden( 3, true );
    view.show();
 
    return a.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

For me this approach (I'm using c++ not python) the table view INSISTS on wrapping the contents of the column. If I don't stretch the second column, the text is still wrapped, but the user can resize the column. However, it has a huge block of dead space. ( there is a reason that those columns are hidden. )

It's looking like my only option is to handle the elide myself, in the column's delegate.

Hi,

you code is not working, and for what you trying to test you need a proper model! So here we go

#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
 
    QStandardItemModel model(4, 4);
    for (int row = 0; row < 4; ++row) {
        for (int column = 0; column < 4; ++column) {
            QStandardItem *item = new QStandardItem(QString("(%1) Very very long line of text").arg(column));
            model.setItem(row, column, item);
        }
    }
 
    QTableView view;
    view.setModel(&model);
    view.horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode( 0, QHeaderView::Interactive);
    view.horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode( 1, QHeaderView::Stretch );
    view.horizontalHeader()->setSectionHidden( 2, true );
    view.horizontalHeader()->setSectionHidden( 3, true );
    view.show();
 
    return a.exec();
}

#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);


    QStandardItemModel model(4, 4);
    for (int row = 0; row < 4; ++row) {
        for (int column = 0; column < 4; ++column) {
            QStandardItem *item = new QStandardItem(QString("(%1) Very very long line of text").arg(column));
            model.setItem(row, column, item);
        }
    }

    QTableView view;
    view.setModel(&model);
    view.horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode( 0, QHeaderView::Interactive);
    view.horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode( 1, QHeaderView::Stretch );
    view.horizontalHeader()->setSectionHidden( 2, true );
    view.horizontalHeader()->setSectionHidden( 3, true );
    view.show();

    return a.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This elides all like one suppose.
