Table header ResizeToContents and Stretch ?

cpper

Hi, is it possible to achieve something like a mix of the two ResizeModes of QHeaderView ? Firstly, I want the columns to be resized in such manner, that all content is visible. This is achieved using the ResizeToContents flag. Secondly, I want to stretch all columns(by the same factor) until the table fits the entire width of the widget.
Is this doable ?

I dont't think there is a build in function for that, but you can do the following:

get total view width
calculate the size of each table entry (using QFontMetrics for text and size() for icons and so on
calculate the remaining width after each column has the width it needs for the content and distribute it equally to all the widths
setting the size by calling setColumnWidth() for each column

Thanks @gde23. Using your ideas, I think I found a better(easier) solution:

Don't set the section resize mode to QHeaderView::ResizeToContents
After modifying data in the table do:

beerTable.resizeColumnsToContents();

//followed by

int widgetWidth = beerTable.viewport()->size().width();
int tableWidth = 0;

for(int i = 0; i<beerTable.columnCount(); ++i)
    tableWidth += beerTable.horizontalHeader()->sectionSize(i); //sections already resized to fit all data

double scale = (double)widgetWidth/tableWidth;
for(int i = 0; i<beerTable.columnCount(); ++i)
    beerTable.setColumnWidth(i, beerTable.horizontalHeader()->sectionSize(i) * scale);
