[Qt-interest] How to set header on aQTableWidget to span two columns?

[Sriram Durbha]

Hi,
 Unfortunately following the FAQ linked below is not useful.  That solution
leads to a situation where the Header can be re sized independent of the
columns it is a header for.  This leads to some major inconsistency.  So I
am trying different approaches.

   1.  Make my own Table Widget from a Grid Layout ->  "Looks" like what i
   want, but lot of stuff that comes for free with QTableWidget needs to be
   redone.
   2. Make a Custom Class clled PairedLineEdits and use it as the
   QTableWidgeItem for the columns where it is needed.

Another approach might be to not display the Horizontal Header and just use
the Top Row as the Header ..
Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Thanks
Cheers
Ram
