void Deck::AMD(int row)

    QList<QTreeWidgetItem*> s = ui->DeckList->findItems(ui->CardList->item(row, 0)->text(),
                                                        Qt::MatchFlag::MatchExactly, 1);

        twi->setText(0, "1");

        uint8_t no = s.constFirst()->text(0).toUInt();
        s.constFirst()->setText(0, QString::number(no + 1));
    }
    ui->DeckList->sortByColumn(1, Qt::AscendingOrder);
}

Hi
You set the text to be center aligned
twi->setTextAlignment(0, Qt::AlignCenter);
so there will be spaces :)
Try with AlignLeft and see.

No way. I aligned to the left but still got space.
And there are also spaces at the end of the row.

@MasterBlade
Post code again.

Post code again.

The codes are the same except that I removed the following line.
twi->setTextAlignment(0, Qt::AlignCenter);

    twi->setTextAlignment(0, Qt::AlignCenter);
    twi->setTextAlignment(1, Qt::AlignCenter);
    twi->setTextAlignment(2, Qt::AlignCenter);
}

did you try this?

twi->setTextAlignment(0, Qt::AlignLeft);
twi->setTextAlignment(1, Qt::AlignLeft);
twi->setTextAlignment(2, Qt::AlignLeft);

there are always spaces before the 1st column

Try:

ui->treeWidget->setRootIsDecorated(false); //is true by default, resulting in the space. This space is for a root-decoration image

@MasterBlade said in Why is there a space in QTreeWidget?:

and after the last column

Try:

ui->treeWidget->header()->setStretchLastSection(true);

setRootIsDecorated(false);

This Worked!! Many Thanks!!

However I'm still having spaces at the end of the row.

Every time I run this function, the space grows bigger. Is there a way to fix this?

Actually I already set this in Form View.

Sorry, this is true by default, so wouldn't help in your case.

What value is returned by

qDebug()  << ui->treeWidget->columnCount() ;

Somehow, it seems there is an extra empty column in your QTreeWidget ?

I'm sorry but I'm having problem with the debugging. It won't pass.

..\MasterZMDJ\deck.cpp:305:12: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'class QDebug'
qDebug() << ui->DeckList->columnCount() ;
^

Also I added the following. The space is not growing as the function is called. But there is still a space at the end.

ui->DeckList->header()->setStretchLastSection(true);

You must include <QDebug> to use qDebug().

If the column count is as expected, then it may be Qt bug. Which Qt version are you using? On which platform?

The return value is 3.
I'm using Qt Creator 4.6.1. Based on Qt 5.10.1 (MSVC 2015,32 bit) on Windows 10 x64

Oh I found the problem. It's on the sorting function.
When I comment this line, everything turns out just fine.
ui->DeckList->sortByColumn(1, Qt::AscendingOrder);

Which in itself is weird... sorting should not affect the layout of the treeWidget in that way.

Could you put the question as solved then? Cheers!~
