QTreeWidget item and colored text

stima_ua

How I can do it:

@QTreeWidgetItem *item = new QTreeWidgetItem;
item->setText("FirstColoredText <font color = "another color">SecondColoredText</font>"); //-its not work@

Hello stima_ua,

You should do like this to change the color of a QTreeWidgetItem:
@QTreeWidgetItem* item = new QTreeWidgetItem(this);
item->setText("FirstColoredText");
item->setTextColor(0, QColor("red"));@

But this works only with one color per item. I don't know if it possible to make the item's text multicolor.

Cheers!

Sorry setTextColor() is obsolete. You should use: @void QTableWidgetItem::setForeground ( const QBrush & brush )@ And for the font: @void QTableWidgetItem::setFont ( const QFont & font )@ I don't see a way to put HTML text on an QTreeWidgetItem... maybe somebody knows.

There is no direct way to do that. I have worked on a rich-text capable delegate. It sort-of worked, but I came to the conclusion that it was not feasible to make the delegate in such a way that it would work nicely with rendering things like styled selection. To do it properly, it needs to be fixed quite deep in the Qt rendering code.

This functionality already exists for other objects, like QTextEdit. It's extrange that Qt developpers didn't thought of extending it.

I found a solution, but there were problems.

When I don't redirect to parent painter i have not stylesheet. But when I redirect I have two text: text by control(rich text) and text by qtreewidgetitem.

What I should do?

@
void ItemDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const
{
QStyleOptionViewItemV4 newOption(option);
initStyleOption(&newOption, index);

painter->save();

QTextDocument doc;
doc.setHtml(newOption.text);

newOption.text = "";
newOption.state &= ~QStyle::State_Selected;
newOption.state &= ~QStyle::State_HasFocus;
newOption.state &= ~QStyle::State_MouseOver;

newOption.widget->style()->drawControl(QStyle::CE_ItemViewItem, &newOption, painter);

painter->translate(newOption.rect.left() + 20, newOption.rect.top());
QRect clip(0, 0, newOption.rect.width(), newOption.rect.height());
doc.drawContents(painter, clip);

painter->restore();

// QStyledItemDelegate::paint(painter, newOption, index);
}@
