[Qt-interest] Alignment in QTableView

[Rob Simmermon]

I had to switch from a QTableView to a QTableWidget (Same for QTreeView) to
give me more control over columns and how they are laid out.  That led me to
have to implement my own set of utilities for using QSqlQuery's to populate
the views.

That's really my own complaint, too, about the MVC, is that in Qt, the
presentation of the data when using QTableView and QTreeView with models is
really not isolated.  It should be in the view and not the model.  Just like
Mr. Harmer said below.  Just getting the current properties of a displayed
view is a nightmare using QTableView and QTreeView.

Hope they can change that somehow in an upcoming release.

First thing that springs to mind is a very simple proxy model that overrides

the data() function for the Qt::TextAlignmentRole for the column that you
wish 
to customise.

Probably best to inherit your proxy model from QSortFilterProxyModel to save

yourself some headaches.

I agree that this type of presentational customisation should be handled by 
the views rather than the models though. To me, the model data should not 
include things like text colour, alignment etc.

HTH,

Sean
