'QHeaderView going out of viewport
I'm having couple of issues while trying to make a QHeaderView for my QTableView.
- I want QHeaderView to be resizable by the user (
Qt.ResizeMode.Interactive) while being able to stretch its sections proportionately when the window or QTableView is being resized. I found this problem online, and managed to mostly solve it but there is still some stuttering when the resizing begins and I think there should be a better solution than mine. Currently it's done by using QTimer to stop sections from going out of the viewport. Timer is being updated every millisecond. If the update interval is bigger, sections would go out of viewport and magically teleport back when the timer is updated, so once per millisecond in my case. There's still some stuttering visible if the user is dragging sections out of the viewport by dragging their mouse faster, not so visible when the mouse is slower, but visible none the less. - Every section should be resizable and movable, besides the first two. The first two sections should be immovable and fixed. I managed to make them fixed and they don't seem to have an effect on resizing of the sections, but I have no idea how to make them immovable while all the other sections are movable.
- Sections should have text eliding, which I managed to make an item delegate for, but setting it on QHeaderView seems to do absolutely nothing (
paint()method doesn't even get called). It's probably because item delegate isn't affecting sections, if so, how can I make a delegate that does affect them?
Here's my current code (it's a bit of a mess, but hopefully you'll get the idea):
