QListWidget adjust size to content

Question

Is it possible to adjust QListWidget height and width to it\'s content?

sizeHint() always returns 256, 192 no matter what its content is.

Answer 1

In order to effectively use sizeHint, you have to override it, at least in c++. In my experience, the default implementations for widgets can be pretty useless when you want a specific behavior. Attempts to force what you want with spacers or layouts end in disaster. If you can derive from QListWidget and override sizeHint, you can iterate through your items and find the longest string, then do some kind of magic to determine how wide it should be.

That's what I'd do, anyway.
