We are trying to display some error messages in a table and some of the messages are very short (just a few words) and some of very long (lots and lots of words). Can this be done with a QTableWidget or should we move to a QTableView and custom model? Does anyone have any example code?

Hmm, I have tried that but nothing is really working. I have turned on "wordwrap", set the various properties for both the vertical and horizontal header but nothing seems to work. I think I may be going about this wrong. Basically I think I want a certain column to be a specific width (say 200 pixels) and then as the text that gets displayed in that column becomes too wide I would like the row height to be adjusted to show all of the text. So do I need to somehow set the column width to a fixed size?

Thanks
