How to customize a listview in Qt

Question

I want to customize a listview in Qt, can anyone provide me some example or hints of how to do it? I am new to Qt.

Answer 1

You can apply stylesheet to your QListView.

Check out here for the Qt documentation of customizing QListView using stylesheets.

Answer 2

If you're using a standard item model or a QListWidget (or any other model that uses QStandardItem), you can set appearance properties on the items using setData.

So, The following will add a red item to a list widget:

QListWidgetItem *colorItem = new QListWidgetItem("Red");
colorItem->setData(QBrush(QColor(Qt::red)), Qt::ForegroundRole);

list.addItem(colorItem);
