'PyQt5: How can I have separate username and message areas for my GUI chat client?
In the attached image (from HexChat), the wrapped message never goes to the same level as [21:44:03] -Global-, anyone have any idea how I can implement this in my GUI program? Preferably with PyQt5 but just a general idea on how to implement it would also be great.
One thing I have thought of is creating a whole new widget of two widgets: a QLabel for the name and another QLabel with setWordWrap(True) for the message, and adding it to a layout or to a QListView every time a new message appears:
# Each box is a new widget
___________________________________________
| name_widget_1|text_wrapped_message_widget |
| |text_wrapped_message_widget |
| |text_wrapped_message_widget |
| |text_wrapped_message_widget |
-------------------------------------------
___________________________________________
| name_widget_2|text_wrapped_message_widget |
| |text_wrapped_message_widget |
| |text_wrapped_message_widget |
-------------------------------------------
, but that will probably be memory heavy? Or not? Maybe that's how it's typically done?
