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?

Just to follow up it seems that we are doing something in our application that is negating the effects of resizeRowToContents(). I reduced our app to a toy problem with just a QTableWidget, put some dummy data in it and called resizeRowToContents() and the result was what I expected.

 Thanks to those that sanity checked this for me.
