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).
