QTreeWidgetItem. Colored text.

DMI3Y

Hi. Is there any way to use color/font tags (or another solution) for QTreeWidgetItem? Need to fill it with colored text in one column.
(Sorry for my english)

Hi

AS @SGaist says you need to do your own drawing of that.

Funny enough it seems to be exactly the same use case :)

Hi and welcome to the forums.
Your English is fine.

One way is to use the
QBrush b (Qt::red);
item->setForeground( 0 , b );

@mrjj thx.. I knew about that, but need something different. My trouble - paint "new" and "item" with different colors. For example "new" - red, "item" - blue.

@DMI3Y
You are supposed to change the color as @mrjj has shown you. The fact that you wish to vary the color depending on the text in the item is for you to implement.

Hi,

You will need a QStyledItemDelegate and do the text painting yourself.

Thx you all.
There was hope for some built-in functionality something like setHTML... But... Ok...
Think this thread can be marked as resolved.

Well you could add a QLabel to the cell and use its rich text capabilities but
it suffers from being non-editable and poor performance if many items.

You will be much happier with the Delegate.
