Getting HTML table cell width

[sipahi]

thank you for your patient and assistance @wysota.
I am new in Qt and I do not know completely what Qt can do.

Basically I am trying to create two separate tables which have exactly same size and number of columns.
And then print out two tables. But contents of tables are different. Because of that widths of columns become different.
And also I don not know how can I trigger the layouting functionality.

In your first post you created a table in html with a width of 100%.
You can do the same for every cell in a row. Set them all to a fixed pixel value or percentage, except for one column. That one will fill up the remaining space in a row.
Also, you don't have to do it for every row, as all cells in a column will, normally, have the same width.

All this can be done with an element like <td width=100> or using css stylesheets. You know how to use stylesheets as you used it in the original table definition, class="tbl".

The main difference in this approach is that you now set a width instead of trying to get it from a renderer that is not yet in action (as others told you before).

It's not about Qt. HTML holds information about the logical structure of a document and not its physical attributes. Only when the document is displayed in some kind of browser, it gains those physical attributes but only for particular input parameters like the browser's default font, window size, device resolution, CSS definitions and so on.

It depends on the document engine you are using. For HTML you can use WebKit, for QTextDocument you can use QAbstractTextDocumentLayout and QTextDocument itself. You can iterate over all rows in the two tables you have, find a maximum width cells in your particular column occupy and then set that width on those columns explicitly (if the engine allows it).
