Resizable width of vertical Header in QTableWidget

[zizou2981]

Hello,

I program currently a GUI with PyQt and I've created a QTableWidget where vertical and horizontal headers are visible.

My problem is currently that I can not change the width of the vertical header with the mouse. The width of the other columns can I change already.

Changeable width:

Not Changeable width:

My question is whether it is possible to make the width of vertical header resizable.

Thanks

I don't see any vertical header, but maybe you mean the first column/section of the horizontal header?

You could try calling QHeaderView::setSectionResizeMode() for section 0.

@anda_skoa: the vertical Header is exists (see image) and i use this function already, but it set only the size mode of Sections and not of vertical headers.

You could try setting the size policy of the vertical header view so that it allows shrinking.

My Problem is that some vertical header in my QTableWidget have a long names. So as altenative for resizable vertical header i want to set a fixed width fo the Header and make a text elided.

My Question is how can i make a text of a header elided?

Thanks

Since you wrote QTableWidget, do you set header items for the vertical header?

If setting different size hint does not work, you could try setting elided texts, e.g. using QFontMetrics::elidedText().

Thanks for your help anda_skoa. I use now elided text with fixed header width and it works.
