I have a Qt-Windows applicastion.
I have a non-editable QComboBox subclass with a custom QAbstractListModel
driving it. I have a simple QListView subclass acting as the view for the
combobox.
I need the list view (NOT the combo) to resize horizontally to fit the widest
string in the list instead of being fixed to the width of the combo button.
Previously, I used a QListWidget subclass as a the view and overrode the
sizeHint():
struct ComboListWidget : public QListWidget
{
ComboListWidget(QWidget *parent = 0)
:
QListWidget(parent)
{}
virtual QSize sizeHint() const
{
QFontMetrics fm(font());
int maxWidth = 0;
for (int i=0; i < count(); ++i)
{
QListWidgetItem *it = item(i);
const QSize sz =
fm.size(Qt::TextSingleLine, it->text());
maxWidth = qMin(qMax(maxWidth,
sz.width()), MaxListWidth);
}
QMargins mar = contentsMargins();
int hpad = (mar.left() + mar.right()) * 2;
return QSize(maxWidth + hpad, 0);
}
};
But this code was really expensive, particularly if the list contains dozens of
entries.
As I'm now using a custom model, I tried to implement a custom SizeHintRole:
if (role == Qt::SizeHintRole)
{
const QString &text = data(index,
Qt::DisplayRole).value<QString>();
QFontMetrics fontMetrics(data(index,
Qt::FontRole).value<QFont>());
//QSize size(fontMetrics.width(text), fontMetrics.height());
return QSize(1000,20); // ignores the 1000
//return size;
}
But the list view only uses the vertical size and I nothing I do seems to work.
If I set the list view to a fixed width in it's constructor, it breaks the
selection-highlight such that it only extends as far as the combobox's width.
This only seems to be a problem on Windows. On OSX, the list view expands
correctly with no additional code.
There must be a way to do this - please help!
