Detailed Description

The QHeaderView class provides a header row or header column for item views.

A QHeaderView displays the headers used in item views such as the QTableView and QTreeView classes. It takes the place of Qt3's QHeader class previously used for the same purpose, but uses the Qt's model/view architecture for consistency with the item view classes.

The QHeaderView class is one of the Model/View Classes and is part of Qt's model/view framework.

The header gets the data for each section from the model using the QAbstractItemModel::headerData() function. You can set the data by using QAbstractItemModel::setHeaderData().

Each header has an orientation() and a number of sections, given by the count() function. A section refers to a part of the header - either a row or a column, depending on the orientation.

Sections can be moved and resized using moveSection() and resizeSection(); they can also be hidden and shown with hideSection() and showSection().

Each section of a header is described by a section ID, specified by its section(), and can be located at a particular visualIndex() in the header. A section can have a sort indicator set with setSortIndicator(); this indicates whether the items in the associated item view will be sorted in the order given by the section.

For a horizontal header the section is equivalent to a column in the model, and for a vertical header the section is equivalent to a row in the model.

Moving Header Sections

A header can be fixed in place, or made movable with setSectionsMovable(). It can be made clickable with setSectionsClickable(), and has resizing behavior in accordance with setSectionResizeMode().

Note: Double-clicking on a header to resize a section only applies for visible rows.

A header will emit sectionMoved() if the user moves a section, sectionResized() if the user resizes a section, and sectionClicked() as well as sectionHandleDoubleClicked() in response to mouse clicks. A header will also emit sectionCountChanged().

You can identify a section using the logicalIndex() and logicalIndexAt() functions, or by its index position, using the visualIndex() and visualIndexAt() functions. The visual index will change if a section is moved, but the logical index will not change.

Appearance

QTableWidget and QTableView create default headers. If you want the headers to be visible, you can use setVisible().

Not all ItemDataRoles will have an effect on a QHeaderView. If you need to draw other roles, you can subclass QHeaderView and reimplement paintEvent(). QHeaderView respects the following item data roles: TextAlignmentRole, DisplayRole, FontRole, DecorationRole, ForegroundRole, and BackgroundRole.

Note: Each header renders the data for each section itself, and does not rely on a delegate. As a result, calling a header's setItemDelegate() function will have no effect.

See also Model/View Programming, QListView, QTableView, and QTreeView.

Member Type Documentation

enum QHeaderView::ResizeMode

The resize mode specifies the behavior of the header sections. It can be set on the entire header view or on individual sections using setSectionResizeMode().

Constant Value Description
QHeaderView::Interactive 0 The user can resize the section. The section can also be resized programmatically using resizeSection(). The section size defaults to defaultSectionSize. (See also cascadingSectionResizes.)
QHeaderView::Fixed 2 The user cannot resize the section. The section can only be resized programmatically using resizeSection(). The section size defaults to defaultSectionSize.
QHeaderView::Stretch 1 QHeaderView will automatically resize the section to fill the available space. The size cannot be changed by the user or programmatically.
QHeaderView::ResizeToContents 3 QHeaderView will automatically resize the section to its optimal size based on the contents of the entire column or row. The size cannot be changed by the user or programmatically. (This value was introduced in 4.2)

The following values are obsolete:

Constant Value Description
QHeaderView::Custom Fixed Use Fixed instead.

See also setResizeMode(), setSectionResizeMode(), stretchLastSection, and minimumSectionSize.

Property Documentation

cascadingSectionResizes : bool

This property holds whether interactive resizing will be cascaded to the following sections once the section being resized by the user has reached its minimum size

This property only affects sections that have Interactive as their resize mode.

The default value is false.

This property was introduced in Qt 4.2.

Access functions:

bool cascadingSectionResizes() const
void setCascadingSectionResizes(bool enable)

See also setSectionResizeMode().

defaultAlignment : Qt::Alignment

This property holds the default alignment of the text in each header section

This property was introduced in Qt 4.1.

Access functions:

Qt::Alignment defaultAlignment() const
void setDefaultAlignment(Qt::Alignment alignment)

defaultSectionSize : int

This property holds the default size of the header sections before resizing.

This property only affects sections that have Interactive or Fixed as their resize mode.

By default, the value of this property is style dependent. Thus, when the style changes, this property updates from it. Calling setDefaultSectionSize() stops the updates, calling resetDefaultSectionSize() will restore default behavior.

Access functions:

int defaultSectionSize() const
void setDefaultSectionSize(int size)
void resetDefaultSectionSize()

See also setSectionResizeMode() and minimumSectionSize.

firstSectionMovable : bool

This property holds whether the first column can be moved by the user

This property controls whether the first column can be moved by the user. In a QTreeView, the first column holds the tree structure and is therefore non-movable by default, even after setSectionsMovable(true).

It can be made movable again, for instance in the case of flat lists without a tree structure, by calling this method. In such a scenario, it is recommended to call QTreeView::setRootIsDecorated(false) as well.

Setting it to true has no effect unless setSectionsMovable(true) is called as well.

This property was introduced in Qt 5.11.

Access functions:

bool isFirstSectionMovable() const
void setFirstSectionMovable(bool movable)

See also setSectionsMovable().

highlightSections : bool

This property holds whether the sections containing selected items are highlighted

By default, this property is false.

Access functions:

bool highlightSections() const
void setHighlightSections(bool highlight)

maximumSectionSize : int

This property holds the maximum size of the header sections.

The maximum section size is the largest section size allowed. The default value for this property is 1048575, which is also the largest possible size for a section. Setting maximum to -1 will reset the value to the largest section size.

With exception of stretch this property is honored by all resize modes

This property was introduced in Qt 5.2.

Access functions:

int maximumSectionSize() const
void setMaximumSectionSize(int size)

See also setSectionResizeMode() and defaultSectionSize.

minimumSectionSize : int

This property holds the minimum size of the header sections.

The minimum section size is the smallest section size allowed. If the minimum section size is set to -1, QHeaderView will use the maximum of the global strut or the font metrics size.

This property is honored by all resize modes.

This property was introduced in Qt 4.2.

Access functions:

int minimumSectionSize() const
void setMinimumSectionSize(int size)

See also setSectionResizeMode() and defaultSectionSize.

showSortIndicator : bool

This property holds whether the sort indicator is shown

By default, this property is false.

Access functions:

bool isSortIndicatorShown() const
void setSortIndicatorShown(bool show)

See also setSectionsClickable().

stretchLastSection : bool

This property holds whether the last visible section in the header takes up all the available space

The default value is false.

Note: The horizontal headers provided by QTreeView are configured with this property set to true, ensuring that the view does not waste any of the space assigned to it for its header. If this value is set to true, this property will override the resize mode set on the last section in the header.

Access functions:

bool stretchLastSection() const
void setStretchLastSection(bool stretch)

See also setSectionResizeMode().

[override virtual] void QHeaderView::setModel(QAbstractItemModel *model)

Reimplemented from QAbstractItemView::setModel().

[slot] void QHeaderView::setOffset(int offset)

Sets the header's offset to offset.

See also offset() and length().

[slot] void QHeaderView::setOffsetToLastSection()

Sets the offset to make the last section visible.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also setOffset(), sectionPosition(), and setOffsetToSectionPosition().

[slot] void QHeaderView::setOffsetToSectionPosition(int visualSectionNumber)

Sets the offset to the start of the section at the given visualSectionNumber. visualSectionNumber is the actual visible section when hiddenSections are not considered. That is not always the same as visualIndex().

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also setOffset() and sectionPosition().

void QHeaderView::setResizeContentsPrecision(int precision)

Sets how precise QHeaderView should calculate the size when ResizeToContents is used. A low value will provide a less accurate but fast auto resize while a higher value will provide a more accurate resize that however can be slow.

The number precision specifies how many sections that should be consider when calculating the preferred size.

The default value is 1000 meaning that a horizontal column with auto-resize will look at maximum 1000 rows on calculating when doing an auto resize.

Special value 0 means that it will look at only the visible area. Special value -1 will imply looking at all elements.

This value is used in QTableView::sizeHintForColumn(), QTableView::sizeHintForRow() and QTreeView::sizeHintForColumn(). Reimplementing these functions can make this function not having an effect.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.2.

See also resizeContentsPrecision(), setSectionResizeMode(), resizeSections(), QTableView::sizeHintForColumn(), QTableView::sizeHintForRow(), and QTreeView::sizeHintForColumn().

void QHeaderView::setSectionHidden(int logicalIndex, bool hide)

If hide is true the section specified by logicalIndex is hidden; otherwise the section is shown.

See also isSectionHidden() and hiddenSectionCount().

void QHeaderView::setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::ResizeMode mode)

Sets the constraints on how the header can be resized to those described by the given mode.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also sectionResizeMode(), resizeMode(), length(), and sectionResized().

void QHeaderView::setSectionResizeMode(int logicalIndex, QHeaderView::ResizeMode mode)

Sets the constraints on how the section specified by logicalIndex in the header can be resized to those described by the given mode. The logical index should exist at the time this function is called.

Note: This setting will be ignored for the last section if the stretchLastSection property is set to true. This is the default for the horizontal headers provided by QTreeView.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also setStretchLastSection() and resizeContentsPrecision().

void QHeaderView::setSectionsClickable(bool clickable)

If clickable is true, the header will respond to single clicks.

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also sectionsClickable(), sectionClicked(), sectionPressed(), and setSortIndicatorShown().

void QHeaderView::setSectionsMovable(bool movable)

If movable is true, the header sections may be moved by the user; otherwise they are fixed in place.

When used in combination with QTreeView, the first column is not movable (since it contains the tree structure), by default. You can make it movable with setFirstSectionMovable(true).

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.

See also sectionsMovable(), sectionMoved(), and setFirstSectionMovable().

[override virtual protected] void QHeaderView::setSelection(const QRect &rect, QItemSelectionModel::SelectionFlags flags)

Reimplemented from QAbstractItemView::setSelection().

Selects the items in the given rect according to the specified flags.

The base class implementation does nothing.

void QHeaderView::setSortIndicator(int logicalIndex, Qt::SortOrder order)

Sets the sort indicator for the section specified by the given logicalIndex in the direction specified by order, and removes the sort indicator from any other section that was showing it.

logicalIndex may be -1, in which case no sort indicator will be shown and the model will return to its natural, unsorted order. Note that not all models support this and may even crash in this case.

See also sortIndicatorSection() and sortIndicatorOrder().

[override virtual] void QHeaderView::setVisible(bool v)

Reimplemented from QWidget::setVisible().

void QHeaderView::showSection(int logicalIndex)
