How to change selected row height in QListView

[Binary Soft]

Hello,
I created a custom QStyledItemDelegate for QListView. When I click (select) a row of listview, I want to set row height to (eg. double etc. ).

When I debug it. sizeHint of opt.state & QStyle::State_Selected is never reached. How Can I solve it?
Thanks

class ListViewDelegate : public QStyledItemDelegate
{
public:
    void paint(QPainter* painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem& option, const QModelIndex& index) const {
		QStyleOptionViewItemV4 opt = option;
		initStyleOption(&opt, index);

		QString str1 = index.model()->data(index.model()->index(index.row(), 1)).toString();

		if (opt.state & QStyle::State_Selected) {
		   painter->setPen(opt.palette.color(cg, QPalette::HighlightedText));
		}
	 
		painter->setPen(Qt::black);
		painter->drawText(opt.rect,opt.displayAlignment, str1);
    
	}

	QSize sizeHint(const QStyleOptionViewItem & option, const QModelIndex & index ) const {
		QSize result = QStyledItemDelegate::sizeHint(option, index);
		
QStyleOptionViewItemV4 opt = option;
		initStyleOption(&opt, index);

		if (opt.state & QStyle::State_Selected) 
			result.setHeight(result.height()*3);
		else
			result.setHeight(result.height()*1);
			
		return result;
	}
};

Excuse me if this is wrong/obvious, I don't do C++ regularly. But have you (presumably in your .h file?) ensured you have marked your QSize sizeHint() declaration with the override keyword, else it will be a distinct method with the same name but not actually overriding?

[dheerendra]

Can you confirm whether sizeHint method is called ? This will be first step. Your function signature looks right.

Now I change some code. row height is changed when selected. But selected row is overlapped to next row. I think layout is not adjust for selected row.

Thanks.

@dheerendra
Thanks.
I use debug, sizeHind is work. Now row height is change but layout's height is not change.

[dheerendra]

which layout is not changing ?

[Binary Soft]

@dheerendra !

Please see two pictures (before select and after select)
I change selected row Item's height *1.8. Item's height is changed but it overlapped on next item.

@Binary-Soft
I already set listview's setUniformItemSizes to false.
ui->listView->setUniformItemSizes(false);

@Binary-Soft

YourListView->setStyleSheet(QString("::item:selected { height: %1; }").arg(new_height));

I know, the topic is old. But just to keep future devs from spending too much time on something like this.
