[Qt-interest] QTableView and spans

[Lars Amsel]

Hi,

I want to use a table view with spans. The model behind is a list with 
transaction. Each transaction has several actions. I want to display all 
actions in that table. The first column should display the transaction itself.

This should look like this (monospaced font)

+----+---------------+
| T1 | action a      |
+----+---------------+
|    | action x      |
| T2 | action y      |
|    | action z      |
+----+---------------+
| T3 | action z      |
+----+---------------+

The spans works in Qt 4.5 I am using. What I don't like is, that I have to set 
the spans in the view component. I would rather implement this information on 
the model size (somehow), but there seems to be no support in Qt itself, 
neither in the QAbstractTableModel nor in the QTableView.

Is it planned to support spans on the model side in future versions? Or is 
there a special trick I don't know to have such simple spans without writing a 
single line of code on the view side?

regards

Lars
