QComboBox in a Grid: text is clipped
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I am using a grid to vertically line a set of "label-value pairs". The label-value pairs are one of:
label + line edit
label + combo box (non editable)
label + spin box
The grid contains 2 columns (labels are in column 0, "values" in column 1). The reason I am using a grid is for the ability to align the items inside (the labels need to be right justified, the values left justified).
I am seeing that the combo boxes in the grid are sized in a way that some of the text is clipped. Some of the combo boxes have choices with longer strings that what is shown. When you popup the combo box view, those longer strings are also clipped.
I have tried calling QComboBox::sizeAdjustPolicy with QComboBox::AdjustToContents, and its still clips the strings.
Does anyone know how to make sure that the combo box is sized properly ?
I have tried setMinimimWidth(combo->width()) after the widget is completely created. In this case the strings displaying the current choices aren't clipped, but when you pop up the combo view, they are still clipped, so this isn't an optimal solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Susan

Forgot to mention that the style is Plastique. I am not seeing the same behavior in Windows or Motif.
