QHeaderView: Stretch *and* ResizeToContents?

[mzimmers]

Hi all -

This probably sounds weird, but I'm trying to format a QTableView so that each column's content is fully visible.

When I use ResizeToContents mode, it looks like this:

and when I use Stretch, it looks like this:

I could use minimum column widths, I suppose, but...is there a better way to to it?

Thanks...

Can you show what exactly you're doing (code)?
I usually use:

view->horizontalHeader()->setSectionResizeMode(...);

To tweak the appearance of the sections, but it's hard to tell if that's what you're looking for exactly.

@kshegunov

    QSizePolicy qsp;
    QHeaderView *qhv;

    // set the size policy to expanding.
    qsp.setHorizontalPolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding);
    qsp.setVerticalPolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding);

    // set the table to stretch mode.
    qhv = ui->tableView->horizontalHeader();
    qhv->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::Stretch);

That's an overload that sets it uniformly to all sections. You can use the overload that takes a section number to have different behaviours between the columns.

[mzimmers]

so, ResizeToContents for the ones that tend to be wider, and stretch for the rest?

[kshegunov]

Well, yes, it's finicky, but should be enough to get it to something you like.

I think this will work:

Not beautiful, but definitely better. Thanks, kshegunov.
