[Interest] Dynamically Resizing the height of a Row in a QTableWidget or QTableView

[Eric Clark]

Hello Mike,

I am not sure about dynamically resizing the row height, but I have a suggestion that you may or may not find helpful...

Instead of placing the entire portion of text in the table cell, why not use the QFontMetrics::elidedText(...) function to add ellipsis to the left, right or middle of your text and then set the tooltip on the cell to show the entire text when the text is too long? 

Hope this helps...
Eric
