Delegate + Multi-Line Text
-
I have a QTreeView, QStandardItemModel, and QStandardItems. The items that contain text I want to give the ability to be displayed over multiple lines within the treeview row it belongs to which is a word-wrapping effect. I'm not sure how to achieve this using a custom delegate, paint, and size hint functions. I also want it to key off the column size so when the treeview is expanded the 'word wrapping' effect will adjust as necessary. Any help would be appreciated. Below is the skeleton, but I'm not sure how to make use of the two key functions to get the desired results.

I sort of figured it out, but have some issues.
1)When rendered there are issues with the height of items (word-wrapped or not word-wrapped), the rectangle has padding at the top and bottom which I don't want
2)Selecting an item makes it vanish and doesn't provide normal highlighting behavior
3)Editing an item puts it back to a single line and doesn't provide word wrapping (which is fine, but I coded it to include word wrapping for presentational purposes and it's not working).I'm using a text layout to figure out word wrapping and I also want to provide the '...' truncating functionality b/c I don't want to allow extremely large entries of dozens of lines to be displayed, those I just defer to tool tips.
Any help would be appreciated.
