I have got a QListWidgetItem
, which has a QWidget
and some QLabels
. The height of the labels (imageLabel
, titleLabel
and descriptionLabel
) varies depending on the text length. So does the height of the QWidget, which leds to different sizes in QListWidgetItem
. So far the parameters for setSizeHint
are static:
QListWidgetItem* listWidgetItem = new QListWidgetItem();
listWidgetItem->setFlags(Qt::ItemIsSelectable | Qt::ItemIsEnabled);
listWidgetItem->setSizeHint(200, 180));
QWidget* widget = new QWidget();
QVBoxLayout* rootLayout = new QVBoxLayout();
rootLayout->setAlignment(Qt::AlignTop);
QHBoxLayout* contentLayout = new QHBoxLayout();
contentLayout->setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft);
QLabel* imageLabel = new QLabel();
imageLabel->setPixmap(pixmap);
contentLayout->addWidget(imageLabel, 0, Qt::AlignTop);
QVBoxLayout* informationLayout = new QVBoxLayout();
informationLayout->setAlignment(Qt::AlignTop);
QLabel* titleLabel = new QLabel("<b>" + title + "</b>");
titleLabel->setWordWrap(true);
informationLayout->addWidget(titleLabel);
QLabel* descriptionLabel = new QLabel(description);
descriptionLabel->setWordWrap(true);
informationLayout->addWidget(descriptionLabel);
QLabel* dateLabel = new QLabel(date.toString());
informationLayout->addWidget(dateLabel);
contentLayout->addLayout(informationLayout);
rootLayout->addLayout(contentLayout);
QHBoxLayout* buttonLayout = new QHBoxLayout();
QPushButton* buttonOne = new QPushButton(tr("Button 1"));
QObject::connect(buttonOne, SIGNAL(clicked()), mButtonOneSignalMapper, SLOT(map()));
mButtonOneSignalMapper->setMapping(buttonOne, index);
buttonLayout->addWidget(buttonOne);
QPushButton* buttonTwo = new QPushButton(tr("Button 2"));
QObject::connect(buttonTwo, SIGNAL(clicked()), mButtonTwoSignalMapper, SLOT(map()));
mButtonTwoSignalMapper->setMapping(buttonTwo, index);
buttonLayout->addWidget(buttonTwo);
rootLayout->addLayout(buttonLayout);
widget->setLayout(rootLayout);
mListWidget->addItem(listWidgetItem);
mListWidget->setItemWidget(listWidgetItem, widget);
Is there any way to properly set the sizeHint
regarding the width and height of the displayed content used in the QLabels
of the QWidget
?
For instance the first QListWidgetItem
may have a descriptionLabel
with a text length of 300 characters and the second QListWidgetItem
may have a descriptionLabel
with a text length of 1000 characters. So far both QListWidgetItems
will have the same size (200px width and 180px height). While it may fit on the first QListWidgetItem
, because it has only 300 characters, it may not fit on the second QListWidgetItem
, because of the 1000 characters. Therefore I would like to somehow dynamically adjust the size of the QListWidgetItem
regarding the needed space (first one will need less than the second one).
