QCombBox with right-justified text

[Lykurg]

combo->setStyleSheet(QString::fromAscii("QComboBox QListView {padding-right: 20px;}"));

combo->setStyleSheet(QString::fromAscii("QComboBox QListView {padding-right: 20px;}"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Better use QLatin1String since it is faster.

The 20px width should be derived from combo somehow, not pulled from thin air

As told, look at QStyle. QStyle::subControlRect()

This is more simple than you think. My solution is in Python and PyQt, but you should be able to see the similarities.

comboBox = QComboBox()
view = comboBox.view()
view.setLayoutDirection(Qt.RightToLeft)

comboBox = QComboBox()
view = comboBox.view()
view.setLayoutDirection(Qt.RightToLeft)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Setting the layout direction to right-to-left moves the text in the pulldown further to the right than I want. What I would like is for the pulldown to not extend under the arrow. What's happened since my original posting is I said I would release my application when Qt 4.7 was ready. Well 4.7 was released a few days after my post, and I'm still not quite ready to release. I've stopped working on this relatively minor cosmetic issue for, as Qt bug reports often say, some future release of my program.
