Customize QTreeView items

Question

I'm new to PySide and Qt at all, and now need to create an application which has a tree view with styled items. Each item needs two lines of text (different styles), and a button. Many items are supposed to be in the view, so I chose QTreeView over QTreeWidget. Now I managed to add simple text items (non-styled) to the QTreeView and have almost no idea about how to place several widgets on one item. Could you please give me an example of how to create such design?

I've found some samples on the Internet, that are similar to what I want, but they all are in C++, and it's not obvious how to convert delegates and other things to Python. I'm now really confused about it all...

Answer 1

I'd recomend you use simple QTreeWidget and insert complex widgets with setItemWidget. While Qt's widhets are alien, they are not so heavy to draw, but:

• You shouldn't create delegates.
• You shouldn't handle events (If you are going to place button in view and draw it using delegates, you had to handle all its events, such as mouseOver, focus changing, etc. It is a lot of work.
