QListWidgetItem text too long

[jcr]

Hello,

I have a widget "events_widget" that takes the whole screen
and I do something like

QStringList tokens;
  ...
  QString text = tokens.at(1) + "\n"
                       + "    " + tokens.at(2) + "\n"
                       + "    Cap: " + tokens.at(3) + " Reg: " + tokens.at(4);
                       + " Can: " + tokens.at(5) + " Wait: " + tokens.at(6);
  QListWidgetItem* item = new QListWidgetItem(text,events_widget);

QStringList tokens;
  ...
  QString text = tokens.at(1) + "\n"
                       + "    " + tokens.at(2) + "\n"
                       + "    Cap: " + tokens.at(3) + " Reg: " + tokens.at(4);
                       + " Can: " + tokens.at(5) + " Wait: " + tokens.at(6);
  QListWidgetItem* item = new QListWidgetItem(text,events_widget);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The problem is that when tokens.at(1) is too long for the screen, the remaining of the the text does not appear. Since I am targeting a Symbian ^3, the end of the screen is reached quite fast.
Any idea, on how to fix that?

thank you!

If you would use a custom delegate you can use Qt::TextWordWrap, but with a QListWidget you have to set setWordWrap() to true. That should do the trick.

For performance reasons I suggest to change your code to either of the following:

QString text = QString("%1\n   %2\b   Cap: %3 Reg: %4 Can: %5 Wait: %6")
                       .arg(tokens.at(1)).arg(tokens.at(2)).arg(tokens.at(3)).arg(tokens.at(4)).arg(tokens.at(5)).arg(tokens.at(6));

QString text = QString("%1\n   %2\b   Cap: %3 Reg: %4 Can: %5 Wait: %6")
                       .arg(tokens.at(1)).arg(tokens.at(2)).arg(tokens.at(3)).arg(tokens.at(4)).arg(tokens.at(5)).arg(tokens.at(6));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

QString text = tokens.at(1) % "\n"
                       % "    " % tokens.at(2) % "\n"
                       % "    Cap: " % tokens.at(3) % " Reg: " % tokens.at(4);
                       % " Can: " % tokens.at(5) % " Wait: " % tokens.at(6);

QString text = tokens.at(1) % "\n"
                       % "    " % tokens.at(2) % "\n"
                       % "    Cap: " % tokens.at(3) % " Reg: " % tokens.at(4);
                       % " Can: " % tokens.at(5) % " Wait: " % tokens.at(6);

For maintainance reasons I suggest to use a custom delegate with custom roles instead of using such strange constructions as what you are currently doing.

You are 100% right; with custom delegates, it is much cleaner and one can do more things as well.
