How to resize vertical header in QTableWidget

[technovelist]

I cannot figure out how to set the vertical header size for a QTableWidget. I have tried using resizeSection, but that doesn't seem to do anything other than wiping out the text I put in the vertical header. I have done a search here to no avail. Does anyone have an example of how to do this?

Thanks.

Is that what you want ?

tableView->verticalHeader()->setDefaultSectionSize(YourValue)

I believe I have tried that to no avail, but I'll try it again and report back. Thanks.
No, that seems to have no effect, but I don't know what "tableView" signifies exactly.
Here's my code:

QTableWidget *InsurancePremiumTable;
...
ui->InsurancePremiumTable->setColumnCount(MaxYearsToModel);
m_InsurancePremiumRowNames.append("Ins. Premium");
ui->InsurancePremiumTable->setVerticalHeaderLabels(m_InsurancePremiumRowNames);
ui->InsurancePremiumTable->verticalHeader()->setDefaultSectionSize(500);
for (int row = 0; row < ui->InsurancePremiumTable->rowCount(); ++row)
for (int column = 0; column < ui->InsurancePremiumTable->columnCount(); ++column)
{
QTableWidgetItem *newItem = new QTableWidgetItem("");
ui->InsurancePremiumTable->setItem(row, column, newItem);
}

Can you see what I'm doing wrong? 500 isn't the actual size that I want, just a size that should show me that it's doing something.

try ui->InsurancePremiumTable->verticalHeader()- setSizeHint( QSize (500,500 ) );

No, that doesn't compile.

Try this:

ui->InsurancePremiumTable->verticalHeader->setResizeMode(QHeaderView::Fixed);
ui->InsurancePremiumTable->verticalHeader->setDefaultSectionSize( 500 );

Or:

ui->InsurancePremiumTable->verticalHeader->setResizeMode(QHeaderView::Fixed);
ui->InsurancePremiumTable->verticalHeader()->resize( 500, 500 );

If it doesn't help try changing size for a single row:

ui->InsurancePremiumTable->setRowHeight( rowNumber, rowHeight );

[technovelist]

This doesn't compile:
ui->InsurancePremiumTable->verticalHeader()->setResizeMode(QHeaderView::Fixed);

I get this error:
mainwindow.cpp(736): error C2039: 'setResizeMode' : is not a member of 'QHeaderView'

and if I write it as you did,
ui->InsurancePremiumTable->verticalHeader->setResizeMode(QHeaderView::Fixed);

then I get a different error:
1>mainwindow.cpp(736): error C2227: left of '->setResizeMode' must point to class/struct/union/generic type

Hi,

You are missing a #include <QHeaderView> in mainwindow.cpp file

[technovelist]

Nope, that doesn't help; I get the same error:
1>mainwindow.cpp(745): error C2039: 'setResizeMode' : is not a member of 'QHeaderView'

Any other suggestions?

Because it's an obsolete function, see here for the replacement

[technovelist]

That compiles okay but doesn't do anything visible other than wiping out my label

Here's my code:

ui->InsurancePremiumTable->verticalHeader()->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::Fixed);
ui->InsurancePremiumTable->verticalHeader()->resizeSection(0, 500);
m_InsurancePremiumRowNames.append("Ins.    Premium");
ui->InsurancePremiumTable->setVerticalHeaderLabels(m_InsurancePremiumRowNames);
for (int row = 0; row < ui->InsurancePremiumTable->rowCount(); ++row)
	for (int column = 0; column < ui->InsurancePremiumTable->columnCount(); ++column)
	{
		QTableWidgetItem *newItem = new QTableWidgetItem("");
		ui->InsurancePremiumTable->setItem(row, column, newItem);
	}

Your header width gets pretty big, isn't 500pixel a bit wide ?
