I'm building an GUI app in which i want to render a tree of lengthy text nodes (something like a typical hackernews webpage). Since Qt has a rich widget system and there are multiple ways to do the same thing, There is always a question of What is the best way to do it.
To render the tree i'm considering two widgets right now
Are there any other widgets/methods in Qt which handle my use case better?
QTreeWidget
is one option, QtWebEngine
is extremely heavy and I wouldn't touch it unless you have a clear need to render html content. This stuff can be implemented using a plain QTextDocument
as the data model, and QTextEdit
as a view.
