QListWidget in ListMode - still has icon space

[high_flyer]

Hi,
a short question:
From the docs I understood, that if I set the view mode to ListMode, then the list will show the items with out an icon.
I constructed a simple list with strings, but all strings have a space between them and the left border of the widget - I presume its where the icon should be - it looks like the IconMode just there is space istead of an icon.
A hint in the right direction will be most appreciated.
Thanks.

hmm... no one knows?

Sorry, I'm not sure if I understood the problem description correctly. At least I have no extra spacing for icon there.. Could you provide a screenshot?

[high_flyer]

Thanks for replying.
I can't provide a screen shot at the moment, only later this evening (not at home)...
So, basically, if I use ListMode, and popluate it with strings, then I should get a regular list, so:
|item1 |
|item2 |
|item3 |

And not what I am getting - so:
| item1 |
| item2 |
| item3 |

Right?
Then I must be doing somthing wrong, I'll look it up again this evening.

As far as I understand the documentation, the QListWidget is coded to operate in IconMode mode and has space for it reserved. A Widget derived from QListView and set to ListMode should behave like you expected it.

A Widget derived from QListView and set to ListMode should behave like you expected it.

Thanks for the input.
But I don't understand how deriving and not changing the way the widget draws will help.

Ok, here is my code, and the screen shot:

uiLarge.listPort->setViewMode(QListView::ListMode);
  QListWidgetItem *temp = new QListWidgetItem("ttyS0");
  temp->setSizeHint(QSize(uiLarge.listPort->width(),40)); //just experimenting, this works as you can see in the image
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(temp);
  new QListWidgetItem("ttyS1",uiLarge.listPort);
  new QListWidgetItem("ttyS2",uiLarge.listPort);
  new QListWidgetItem("ttyS3",uiLarge.listPort);
  new QListWidgetItem("ttyS4",uiLarge.listPort);

uiLarge.listPort->setViewMode(QListView::ListMode);
  QListWidgetItem *temp = new QListWidgetItem("ttyS0");
  temp->setSizeHint(QSize(uiLarge.listPort->width(),40)); //just experimenting, this works as you can see in the image
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(temp);
  new QListWidgetItem("ttyS1",uiLarge.listPort);
  new QListWidgetItem("ttyS2",uiLarge.listPort);
  new QListWidgetItem("ttyS3",uiLarge.listPort);
  new QListWidgetItem("ttyS4",uiLarge.listPort);

Which style is that? Have you tried with other styles?

[high_flyer]

Which style is that?

The default, system style, in this case plastik...
No I didn't try other styles I don't need to...
Should I?
I mean, this should be the most simple thing - just having a list of strings...
I don't think this has to do with styles..
The green background is just a background pixmap on the dialog.
@Jpn: you said that you list is not like that - could you show me your code?
My guess is that I am doing (or not doing) something very basic, but I don't know what..
Is there any thing I should note when dealing with QListWidget?
I am really new to data aware views in Qt4 (as one can tell).
Thanks

This is my minimalistic test case:

#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	QApplication a(argc, argv);
	QListWidget list;
	list.setViewMode(QListView::ListMode);
	for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
		list.addItem(QString("ttyS%1").arg(i));
	list.show();
	return a.exec();
}

#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	QApplication a(argc, argv);
	QListWidget list;
	list.setViewMode(QListView::ListMode);
	for (int i = 0; i < 5; ++i)
		list.addItem(QString("ttyS%1").arg(i));
	list.show();
	return a.exec();
}

Thanks.
I tried you code, thinking maybe the item initializtion played a part in it, but it stays exatly the same... hmm....

uiLarge.listPort->setViewMode(QListView::ListMode);
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(QString("ttyS0"));
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(QString("ttyS1"));
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(QString("ttyS2"));
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(QString("ttyS3"));
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(QString("ttyS4"));

uiLarge.listPort->setViewMode(QListView::ListMode);
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(QString("ttyS0"));
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(QString("ttyS1"));
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(QString("ttyS2"));
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(QString("ttyS3"));
  uiLarge.listPort->addItem(QString("ttyS4"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It looks EXACTLY the same as before for me...
I hate such situations...

Thanks though!

The only difference is that my list is initializes in an ui faile...
Is there an propery in designer that might change this?

[high_flyer]

found it -
designer gives defalut spacing of 20.

Thanks for your help!
