QTableWidget or QTableView - Presenting many info in one table cell

hbatalha

I just downloaded a program to download videos and after seeing this table (image below) I got curious on how I would create something similar in Qt.

I have used QTableWidget and I can't think of how to do this using it so I am guessing it's QTableView(haven't yet quite understood the model/view concept) but I took a quick look at its doc but couldn't have a idea on how to do that using it.

You need to set a QStyledItemDelegate for the view.
The delegate will replace the cell in the table showing your custom widget that you can style according to your needs.

@gde23 I went and searched for it and from I could understand, I could use a QGridLayout to achieve something similar to the image in the OP, right?

Depends how "similar" you mean by "similar".

QStyledItemDelegate is the right way to go.

Let's say then, visually the same. Using QGridLayout in delegate class I can achieve that?

For the layout on the delegate you can use a grid layout or cascaded horizontal/vertical layouts, that really does not matter.
However, if you are not familiar with basic widget layouts I would suggest starting with something more basic than delegates.
E.g. you can first setup the model/view, then make a standalone widget to be used as delegate, and finally setup the delegate.
