<![CDATA[[SOLVED] QComboBox Items spacing]]>Hi,

I have a problem with a QComboBox. The list is 9 items long and some of them are 2 lines long.

So it gets difficult to read the list. I would like to add some more space between the items.

I tried using stylesheets, but it did not work. Do you have any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks

here is what I did

@QAbstractItemView *abVw = SetMode->view();
QListView listVw = qobject_cast<QListView>(abVw);
if (listVw) {
listVw->setSpacing(2);
listVw->setAlternatingRowColors(1);
QPalette p= listVw->palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::AlternateBase, Qt::lightGray);
listVw->setPalette(p);
}@

where SetMode is a pointer to my ComboBox. It sets an alternating color for the comboBox at the same time giving it some nice spacing

Since the view is a list view, you can cast it safely to QListView. Use QListView::setSpacing() to something of your choice. Default value is 0.

QAbstractItemView *abVw = comboInst->view();
QListView listVw = qobject_cast<QListView>(abVw);
if (listVw) {
listVw->setSpacing(2);
}
