QListview force fixed item width, option.rect is too big

I want my QListView to not show a horizontal scollbar. All my items are of the same height so I set setUniformItemSizes(true); Now the list seems to check the width of the first item and resizes the following items to the maximum of the latter and the width of the QListView. How can I tell the QListView to give the items just its own width?

Actually I use my own QStyleItemDelegate and got a too large QRect from the option.rect. But the standard delegate shows the same behaviour, so I took out my delegate to reduce the amount of problem sources.

Solution

  • The answer is pretty simple: Dont allow the space bar.

    setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy(Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOff);

    This elides the text with the default delegate and reports proper option.rect in your custom delegate.
