Displaying richtext on ItemWidgets

[arbi]

ok.

i finally found one of your early posts on this topic which gives a sample code

void CommentDelegate::paint( QPainter * painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem & option, const QModelIndex & index ) const
      {
          painter->save();
          QTextDocument doc;
          doc.setHtml( index.data().toString() );
          QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::PaintContext context;
          doc.setPageSize( option.rect.size());
          painter->translate(option.rect.x(), option.rect.y());
          doc.documentLayout()->draw(painter, context);
          painter->restore();
      }

void CommentDelegate::paint( QPainter * painter, const QStyleOptionViewItem & option, const QModelIndex & index ) const
      {
          painter->save();
          QTextDocument doc;
          doc.setHtml( index.data().toString() );
          QAbstractTextDocumentLayout::PaintContext context;
          doc.setPageSize( option.rect.size());
          painter->translate(option.rect.x(), option.rect.y());
          doc.documentLayout()->draw(painter, context);
          painter->restore();
      }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

i used this method and it worked. But now there is another problem of obtaining
right size values to be returned from sizeHint() function.

i am reimplementing the sizeHint() method of the Delegate and for the time being, i am just returning a constant size of QSize(200,250). But of course this should be determined by the content of the item to be displayed. For large contents; some of the text are just lost behind the content of next item.

i tried QTextDocument:ageSize() and QTextDocument::documentLayout()->documentSize() methods , after setting the content of the QTextDocument object , but it didnt worked.

any suggestions appreciated.. thanks...
