@abdullahzubair109 What border do you mean?
You probably need to remove the margins from your layout.

Hi
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlayout.html#setContentsMargins
It has 9-11 px default margin for any layout.

@mrjj i meant black border around the widget..

hi
you can use stylesheet
tree->setStyleSheet("border: 0");
use
setFrameShape(QFrame::NoFrame);

@mrjj one more thing.. can i use qstyle instead???

@abdullahzubair109
Hi
Well yes if you made a custom style that would draw the qtreeview without border but
i think its not trivial. You could also look into
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qproxystyle.html
but I cant tell what you would need to override to get rid of the border.

@mrjj i tried to set frame shape of treeview to QFrame::NoFrame.. it worked
