QTableView not working as expected.

[spirit]

you creates QStandardItemModel model(5, 2); in a stack (an object will be destroyed when out of scope). you should create in the heap, i.e. QStandardItemModel *model = new QStandardItemModel(5, 2);.

ahh ty, cause the book used it in the main function. Thanks for your expertise

After successfully implementing the QTableView, how do i make it stretch fully? As there are gaps on the right and bottom.

[junxuan]

im not sure if im allowed to do this, bumps.

Try:

table->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);

table->setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding, QSizePolicy::Expanding);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Thanks for the help but it doesnt seem to be working.

edit: it seems that it isnt the QTableView that is not expanding, rather it is the model that it is displaying that doesnt expand.

You don't need line 23 in your original post.

Maybe:

table->horizontalHeader()->setStretchLastSection(true);
OR
table->horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode(0, QHeaderView::Stretch);

table->horizontalHeader()->setStretchLastSection(true);
OR
table->horizontalHeader()->setResizeMode(0, QHeaderView::Stretch);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

are more to your liking?
