Having different header width while using QHeaderView::Stretch

Dummie1138

Hi. I have an application where to the far left is a checkbox and the rest of the table contains text. Like so.

Another example:

I want to resize the far left to something much more narrow, but have the remaining headers retain their ability to stretch, like so.

    ui->tableWidget->horizontalHeader()->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::Stretch);
    ui->tableWidget->setColumnWidth(0, 30);

According to the documentation on QHeaderView::Stretch, "The size cannot be changed by the user or programmatically." This is why I'm wondering whether there exists a way to retain the header view stretch size.

There is another overload of setSectionResizeMode that takes a section index. Use it to set section 0 mode to QHeaderView::Fixed and give it a fixed size with resizeSecion.
