Individual QTreeWidgetItem indentation

Question

Is it possible to have individual indentation of items in a QTreeWidget?

In specific, I have have a column containing both text, icon and for some of them a CheckBox. The items without a CheckBox gets shifted to the left so the indentation of the icon and the text is not inline with the others. Could maybe be fixed with a hidden CheckBox if that is possible?

Answer 1

Maybe the use of Delegates will give you a nice and proper implementation. You'll have the opportunity to re-implement the paint() and sizeHint() methods, and therefore, choose the way your QTreeWidgetItem are being drawn...

Hope it helps a bit !

Answer 2

You can try using the QWidget::setContentMargins() on the widget returned by QTreeWidget::itemWidget().
