Hi ladies and gents, I have a QTableView with 4 columns and I would like to permanently resize the second column to 50% the entire width of the QTableView. I thought this would be something easy to figure out but it has proven otherwise. I have attached a screenshot of what I am trying to achieve below. As can be seen in the screenshot below, the second column is 3-times longer than the first and the third column.Selection_001.png
Qt Code: 
  1. MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
  2.     QMainWindow(parent),
  3.     ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
  4. {
  5.     ui->setupUi(this);
  6.     ui->tableView->setColumnWidth(1, 900);
  7.     model = new QStandardItemModel(74, 4, ui->innertabWidget);
  8.     this->setWindowTitle("Tender Bot");
  9.     QFile sitesFile("websites.txt");
  10.     if(!sitesFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
  11.     {
  12.         qDebug() << "Something went wrong, file did not open" <<endl;
  13.     }
  14.     else
  15.     {
  16.         QTextStream out(&sitesFile);
  17.         int count = 0;
  18.         while(!out.atEnd())
  19.         {
  20.             QModelIndex index = model->index(count, 0, QModelIndex());
  21.             model->setData(index, sitesFile.readLine(0).simplified());
  22.             count++;
  23.         }
  24.     }
  25.     model->setHeaderData(0, Qt::Horizontal, "Websites");
  26.     model->setHeaderData(1, Qt::Horizontal, "Downloaded");
  27.     model->setHeaderData(2, Qt::Horizontal, "Date");
  28.     model->setHeaderData(3, Qt::Horizontal, "Buttons");
  29.     ui->tableView->horizontalHeader()->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::Stretch);
  30.     ui->tableView->setModel(model);
  31. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
I thought line 6 in the code snippet above would achieve my desired outcome but it doesn't work.

Please assist.
