QTreeView, how to get the scrollbars when resizing if we don't use ElideMode?
-
Hi,
I've a QTreeView on the left Side of a QSplitter and I don't understand how / when the Horinzontal ScrollBars arrives when I'm decreasing the width of the QTreeView.By default there is the ElideMode when we reduce the view but I've removed it using a deleage:
void TreeItemDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const { QStandardItem *item = static_cast<const TreeModel*>(index.model())->itemFromIndex(index); if (!item) return; QStyleOptionViewItem myOption = option; myOption.textElideMode = Qt::ElideNone; QStyledItemDelegate::paint(painter, myOption, index); }
So now the scrollbars are not kicking in as soon as a part of the view is hidden but only when arrive to the Icons of my Items.
Any idea how I could makes them arrive as soon as some text is hidden. In other words I'd like that the size of the View should always take all the Items in consideration and that resize itself when I expand or collapse some of them.
Thanks in advance :)

on the delegate? yes but it doesn't seem to have any effect on the horizontal scrollbar of the QTreeView.
The behaviour stays the same...QSize TreeItemDelegate::sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const { QSize size = QStyledItemDelegate::sizeHint(option, index); return QSize(500, 18); }
only the hight seems to have an impact on the TreeView. (I've certain row larger (bigger icon and font bold))
By looking again, it looks like the horizontal ScrollBar kicks in only when my first row starts to not have enough space.
Is there something to do to resize the QTreeView with the its content (a bit like the QTableWidget::resizeColumnsToContents ?) -
The resizeColumnToContent method is also available with QTreeView. It’s part of the base class.
-
yeah but it looks like it is only taking into account the columns of the first rows.
I'm having a tree structure with 4 level of children from my first row.
How could I make the Tree take those in consideration.
I wouldn't mind to resize the QTreeView each time I insert a new Child cause this operation shouldn't happen so often. -
Can you post a minimal sample code so we have the same widgets to look at ?
-
ok I've done a simple example of my code:
Here is tree.h
#ifndef TREE_H #define TREE_H #include <QStandardItemModel> #include <QStyledItemDelegate> enum class TreeItemType { TreeElementItem = 0x1, TreeTypeItem = 0x10 }; class TreeItem : public QStandardItem { public: TreeItem(const QString &txt, TreeItemType type = TreeItemType::TreeElementItem) : QStandardItem(), _type(type), _txt(txt) {} virtual ~TreeItem() = default; QVariant data( int role = Qt::UserRole ) const override; TreeItemType getType() const {return _type;} private: const TreeItemType _type; const QString _txt; }; class TreeItemDelegate : public QStyledItemDelegate { public: TreeItemDelegate() = default; ~TreeItemDelegate() = default; void paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const override; QSize sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const override; }; class TreeModel : public QStandardItemModel { Q_OBJECT public: TreeModel() = default; ~TreeModel() = default; Qt::ItemFlags flags(const QModelIndex& index) const override; void load(); }; #endif // TREE_H
Tree.cpp
#include "tree.h" QVariant TreeItem::data(int role) const { switch (role) { case Qt::DisplayRole: { QString msg(_txt); if (_type == TreeItemType::TreeTypeItem) msg += QString(" (%1)").arg(rowCount()); return msg; } default: return QStandardItem::data(role); } } void TreeItemDelegate::paint(QPainter *painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const { QStandardItem *item = static_cast<const TreeModel*>(index.model())->itemFromIndex(index); if (!item) return; QStyleOptionViewItem myOption = option; myOption.textElideMode = Qt::ElideNone; if (static_cast<TreeItem*>(item)->getType() == TreeItemType::TreeTypeItem) { myOption.font.setBold(true); myOption.decorationSize = QSize(24,24); } QStyledItemDelegate::paint(painter, myOption, index); } QSize TreeItemDelegate::sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const { QSize size = QStyledItemDelegate::sizeHint(option, index); QStandardItem *item = static_cast<const TreeModel*>(index.model())->itemFromIndex(index); if (item) { if (static_cast<TreeItem*>(item)->getType() == TreeItemType::TreeTypeItem) size.setHeight(26); else size.setHeight(18); } return size; } Qt::ItemFlags TreeModel::flags(const QModelIndex& index) const { QStandardItem *item = itemFromIndex(index); if (!item) return 0; TreeItemType itemType = static_cast<TreeItemType>(item->data(Qt::UserRole).toInt()); if (itemType == TreeItemType::TreeTypeItem) return Qt::ItemIsEnabled|Qt::ItemIsSelectable; else return Qt::ItemIsEnabled|Qt::ItemIsSelectable|Qt::ItemIsEditable; } void TreeModel::load() { TreeItem *project = new TreeItem("Project"); invisibleRootItem()->appendRow(project); TreeItem *firstType = new TreeItem("First Type", TreeItemType::TreeTypeItem); project->appendRow(firstType); for (ushort i=0 ; i < 5 ; ++i) { TreeItem *someItem = new TreeItem(QString("Some Items number #%1").arg(i)); firstType->appendRow(someItem); } TreeItem *secondType = new TreeItem("Second Type a bit longer", TreeItemType::TreeTypeItem); project->appendRow(secondType); }
mainwindow.h
#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H #define MAINWINDOW_H #include <QMainWindow> namespace Ui { class MainWindow; } class TreeModel; class QAbstractItemDelegate; class MainWindow : public QMainWindow { Q_OBJECT public: explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0); ~MainWindow(); private: Ui::MainWindow *_ui; TreeModel *_treeModel; QAbstractItemDelegate *_treeItemDelegate; }; #endif // MAINWINDOW_H
and mainwindow.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h" #include "ui_mainwindow.h" #include <QLabel> #include "tree.h" MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent), _ui(new Ui::MainWindow), _treeModel(new TreeModel()), _treeItemDelegate(new TreeItemDelegate()) { _ui->setupUi(this); QLabel *editor = new QLabel("<h3>Editor</h3>", this); _ui->splitter->addWidget(editor); _ui->splitter->setCollapsible(0, false); _ui->splitter->setCollapsible(1, false); _ui->splitter->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding); _ui->treeView->setModel(_treeModel); if (_treeItemDelegate) _ui->treeView->setItemDelegate(_treeItemDelegate); _treeModel->load(); } MainWindow::~MainWindow() { delete _ui; }
and the mainwindow.ui

My problem is that I don't know how I could make the horizontal scrollbar kicks in as soon as one Item of the TreeView is not fully visible.
Any idea how I could achieve it? I guess it is something that should be simple...
PS: another problem I have is that my QSlider is not taking the full area of my window. If I go fullscreen, the TreeView is not resizing.

@mbruel said in QTreeView, how to get the scrollbars when resizing if we don't use ElideMode?:
QSlider is not taking the full area of my window
Is your QSlider in a layout?
-
Well I'm not sure...
I'm using Qt Creator designer. In the Central Widget I've added my TreeView and another Widget then I've selected both and click on "Layout Horizontally in a Splitter".
I was thinking the Splitter would be the layout of the MainWindow but I guess not...You can find the Qt Project here

@mpergand
Well this make it worst. My items are all the time truncated even when there is space in the QTreeView.
It seems the size of the viewport is the one of the header? how could the size of the longest row? and set it to be this? I found it strange that there is not an option to do this automatically...
-
It seems that it is the header DefaultSectionSize that defines when the scrollbar will kicks in.
I've tried to use the visualRect of my items but I'm getting a invalid one for all the items except the first one...MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent), _ui(new Ui::MainWindow), _treeModel(new TreeModel()), _treeItemDelegate(new TreeItemDelegate()) { _ui->setupUi(this); .... int maxWidth = 0; _setTreeViewMaxWith(maxWidth); _ui->treeView->header()->setDefaultSectionSize(maxWidth); } #include <QDebug> void MainWindow::_setTreeViewMaxWith(int &maxWidth, QModelIndex parent) { for(int r = 0; r < _treeModel->rowCount(parent); ++r) { QModelIndex index = _treeModel->index(r, 0, parent); int width = _ui->treeView->visualRect(index).width(); qDebug() << "width row " << r << " : " << width; if (width > maxWidth) maxWidth = width; if( _treeModel->hasChildren(index) ) _setTreeViewMaxWith(maxWidth, index); } }
Here is the output:
width row 0 : 180
width row 0 : 0
width row 0 : 0
width row 1 : 0
width row 2 : 0
width row 3 : 0
width row 4 : 0
width row 1 : 0 -
_ui->treeView->header()->setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::ResizeToContents);
Work well with elideMode ...
Infinite loop detected :)Well, the only solution seems to resize the column yourself, you can memorize the larger item in TreeItemDelegate::sizeHint
and set the column width accordingly. -
@mpergand
Cool, thanks, good advise :)
You're right, instead of resizing the header, I can just resize the first column.
What I've done is that my Delegate emit a signal in SizeHint when the size max increase. My MainWindow catch the signal and resize the column accordingly taking the indent of the index in consideration...
This works but I'm quite surprised that we've to do it manually and that the functionality is not offered by the QTreeView directly.Here is my code for the people interested
QSize TreeItemDelegate::sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const { QStyleOptionViewItem myOption = option; myOption.textElideMode = Qt::ElideNone; QStandardItem *item = static_cast<const TreeModel*>(index.model())->itemFromIndex(index); if (static_cast<TreeItem*>(item)->getType() == TreeItemType::TreeTypeItem) { myOption.font.setBold(true); myOption.decorationSize = QSize(24,24); } QSize size = QStyledItemDelegate::sizeHint(myOption, index); if (size.width() > _maxWidth) { _maxWidth = size.width(); emit maxWidthIncreased(_maxWidth, index); } if (item) { if (static_cast<TreeItem*>(item)->getType() == TreeItemType::TreeTypeItem) size.setHeight(26); else size.setHeight(18); } return size; }
and in MainWindow:
void MainWindow::handleTreeViewMaxWidthChanged(int maxWidth, QModelIndex index) { int indent = _ui->treeView->indentation(); while (index.parent().isValid()) { indent += _ui->treeView->indentation(); index = index.parent(); } qDebug() << "Max width from Delegate: " << maxWidth << ", indent: " << indent; _ui->treeView->setColumnWidth(0, maxWidth+indent); }
PS: for this to work, TreeItemDelegate::_maxWidth is mutable and the signal is const
class TreeItemDelegate : public QStyledItemDelegate { Q_OBJECT ... signals: void maxWidthIncreased(int maxSize, QModelIndex index) const; private: mutable int _maxWidth; };
-
Following another this other thread about customizing delegates with the display of the icons, here is a more efficient version of this one:
QSize TreeItemDelegate::sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem &option, const QModelIndex &index) const { QSize size = QStyledItemDelegate::sizeHint(option, index); if (size.width() > _maxWidth) { _maxWidth = size.width(); emit maxWidthIncreased(_maxWidth, index); } return size; } void TreeItemDelegate::initStyleOption(QStyleOptionViewItem *option, const QModelIndex &index) const { QStyledItemDelegate::initStyleOption(option, index); option->textElideMode = Qt::ElideNone; TreeItem *item = nullptr; if (_useProxy) item = static_cast<const TreeProxyModel*>(index.model())->itemFromIndex(index); else item = static_cast<const TreeModel*>(index.model())->itemFromIndex(index); if (item && static_cast<TreeItem*>(item)->isRootItem()) { // option->palette.setColor(QPalette::Normal, QPalette::Text,Qt::blue); option->font.setBold(true); option->decorationSize = QSize(24,24); } }
No need to override the paint method but instead the protected initStyleOption

Thanks for the feedback !
