QTableWidget Headers, QStringList and character set

JohK

Hi all,
I wanted to create a QStringList where the strings containg special characters. Therefore I created the following code (similar to the explanation in Qt documentation):

QStringList Headers;
Headers << "Empfänger" << .....;
tableWidget->setHorizontalHeaderLabels(Headers);

However, when the program is run the "ä" in "Empfänger" in the Header in the QTableWidget is shown as 2 special characters (can't show them here..)

How can I show the "ä" in the Header?

Thanks,
Johannes

Hi @JohK,

The very best thing is to limit the character set in source files to ASCII (that's what I do).

Qt provides translation tools, which allows to write tr("Receiver") in your source code and translate the program later to any language you like. Please see for more information: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/i18n-source-translation.html
