Automatically stretch QTableWidget to fit resized window
-
I have a
QBoxLayoutinQBoxLayout::TopToBottomalignment mode to which I have added 2QFramewidgets.QBoxLayout layout; central_widget.setLayout(&layout); ... layout.addWidget(&form_frame, 0, Qt::AlignTop); layout.addWidget(&btn_frame, 0, Qt::AlignBottom);I would like the
form_frameto stretch to fit both vertically and horizontally when the window is resized, but at the moment it only stretches horizontally.Here is an example:
(full working code below)
The window as it comes up by default:
The window after resizing:
I would like the
QTableWidget(or it's parentQFrame) it stretch vertically too, as marked here:
Code producing example:
#include <QApplication> #include <QMainWindow> #include <QFormLayout> #include <QPushButton> #include <QTableWidget> class App { public: App(int argc, char** argv) : app(argc, argv) , layout(QBoxLayout::TopToBottom) { window.setCentralWidget(¢ral); } int exec() { central.setLayout(&layout); layout.addWidget(&form_frame, 0, Qt::AlignTop); layout.addWidget(&btn_frame, 0, Qt::AlignBottom); form_frame.setLayout(&form_layout); btn_frame.setLayout(&btn_layout); // create a table widget QTableWidget* table = new QTableWidget(0, 2); form_layout.addRow(table); QStringList labels; labels << "header 1" << "header 2"; table->setHorizontalHeaderLabels(labels); // create some buttons btn_save = new QPushButton("&save"); btn_cancel = new QPushButton("&cancel"); btn_layout.addWidget(btn_save); btn_layout.addWidget(btn_cancel); window.show(); return app.exec(); } QApplication app; QMainWindow window; QWidget central; QBoxLayout layout; QFrame form_frame; QFormLayout form_layout; QFrame btn_frame; QHBoxLayout btn_layout; QPushButton* btn_save; QPushButton* btn_cancel; }; int main(int argc, char** argv) { return App(argc, argv).exec(); }@skebanga
Not sure but please try this. I was facing similar issue , this solved it.
SearchTable->horizontalHeader()->setStretchLastSection(true); -
@skebanga
Why not just create a simple VBox layout to insert into your central widget layout and add the frames there? Seems the most simple solution to me. -

SearchTable->horizontalHeader()->setStretchLastSection(true);SearchTable->horizontalHeader()->setStretchLastSection(true);
I don't believe this is what I'm looking for here, as this is to stretch the last section of the table as the table is resized, whereas I want to stretch the table itself.

Thank you @SGaist and @kshegunov
Between your examples and suggestions I have managed to achieve what I want.

In PyQt5 How can this be done?
Automatically stretch PyQt5 Widgets to fit resized window?
please help me -
Hi,
@nlcodes said in Automatically stretch QTableWidget to fit resized window:So basically, it's not possible. Got it.
You misunderstood what @JonB wrote. What he wrote is that you have to translate the C++ code you see above in its Python counterpart. That's all.
