[Solved] Set Column Width ot QTableView

[compyler]

Hello,

I have a QTableView which receives my custom model called PointSet (PointSet derives from QAbstractTableModel).
Now I want to set different widths for the columns in my model. Therefore I have overwritten headerData() method like this:

@QVariant PointSet::headerData(int section, Qt::Orientation orientation, int role) const
{
if(orientation == Qt::Horizontal) {

    if(role == Qt::DisplayRole) {        
        switch(section) {
            case 0:
                return QString("Symbol");
            case 1:
                return QString("Description");
        }
    }
    else if(role == Qt::SizeHintRole) {
         return QSize(300, 50);
    }
    
}

return QAbstractTableModel::headerData(section, orientation, role);

}@

When I execute this code, the column headers of my table indeed have a height of 50 pixels, but no column has a size of 300. The 300 seems to be ignored!
Anyone knows why setting column width with my approach does not work?

Thanks!

Hi,

I would try calling "resizecolumtocontents":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/qtwidgets/qtableview.html#resizeColumnToContents

after setting the sizehint
