Greetings,
I have a CSV format data file, I want to create a similar content list (as shown in the picture below) for that data. And also need to provide "search contents" option. I am completely clueless how can I execute it. Please help me out.Best Regards,

@ahsan737 How does your CSV look like?
Parsing CSV is easy: read the file line by line and split each line using ',' character.
Take a look at this: https://wiki.qt.io/Handling_CSV -

@ahsan737 Depends.
Do you want to use Qt Widgets (then take a look at https://www.bogotobogo.com/Qt/Qt5_QListView_QStringListModel_ModelView_MVC.php) or QML? -

Please suggest a suitable approach to display data in that specific style. and also the user should be able to click that (3 line view set which will further display complete data).

You can customize the UI as you like it.
In case if you want rich UI or graphics contents I would suggest you to go with QML. -
Hi
To change how the View will render the items, you can use a delegate
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstyleditemdelegate.html
That allows you to change how a cell is render ( or all cells)
and you would use its paint function to draw 3 lines of text. -

@mrjj Thank you, I will try to implement this. I am a beginner so sometimes it is hard to understand the Qt documentation. If you know any good example of this implementation then please share it. I am really thankful.

AFAIK, QML / QtQuick has better & rich Graphics classes & components than C++ (Qt Widget based GUI).All the best.
