width of a QTableWidget

[magland]

How can I get the width of a table widget... I don't mean width(), but the maximum possible sum of the column widths (without needing horizontal scroll bar)?

hmmm. I looked into the Qt Assistent of Qt4 and came along this function:

QSize QAbstractScrollArea::maximumViewportSize () const
//Returns the size of the viewport as if the scroll bars had no valid scrolling range.

QSize QAbstractScrollArea::maximumViewportSize () const
//Returns the size of the viewport as if the scroll bars had no valid scrolling range.

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Maybe it's what you need, i dont use Qt4 but Qt3

At least I haven't found any better way than summing QTableView::columnWidth()'s up together. "Contents size" is quite commonly requested feature for all QAbstractItemView derived classes. Someone should send a suggestion to TT..

Thanks. Well that's a good step, but I also want to exclude the headers (and I guess space between columns if that exists). I just want to set the column widths so as to use the maximum space... seems like a fairly common task. But perhaps there's no good way to do it right now.

Maybe then you can subtract the header sizes from the value this function gives you back...
