## Detailed Description

The QColumnView class provides a model/view implementation of a column view.

QColumnView displays a model in a number of QListViews, one for each hierarchy in the tree. This is sometimes referred to as a cascading list.

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

QColumnView implements the interfaces defined by the QAbstractItemView class to allow it to display data provided by models derived from the QAbstractItemModel class.

See also Model/View Programming.

## Property Documentation

### resizeGripsVisible : bool

This property holds the way to specify if the list views gets resize grips or not.

By default, `visible` is set to true

Access functions:

- bool resizeGripsVisible () const
- void setResizeGripsVisible ( bool visible )

See also setRootIndex().

## Member Function Documentation

### QColumnView::QColumnView ( QWidget * parent = 0 )

Constructs a column view with a parent to represent a model's data. Use setModel() to set the model.

See also QAbstractItemModel.

### QColumnView::~QColumnView ()

Destroys the column view.

### QList<int> QColumnView::columnWidths () const

Returns a list of the width of all the columns in this view.

See also setColumnWidths().

### QAbstractItemView * QColumnView::createColumn ( const QModelIndex & index ) `[virtual protected]`

To use a custom widget for the final column when you select an item overload this function and return a widget. index is the root index that will be assigned to the view.

Return the new view. QColumnView will automatically take ownership of the widget.

See also setPreviewWidget().

### void QColumnView::initializeColumn ( QAbstractItemView * column ) const `[protected]`

Copies the behavior and options of the column view and applies them to the column such as the iconSize(), textElideMode() and alternatingRowColors(). This can be useful when reimplementing createColumn().

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

See also createColumn().

### QWidget * QColumnView::previewWidget () const

Returns the preview widget, or 0 if there is none.

See also setPreviewWidget() and updatePreviewWidget().

### void QColumnView::setColumnWidths ( const QList<int> & list )

Sets the column widths to the values given in the list. Extra values in the list are kept and used when the columns are created.

If list contains too few values, only width of the rest of the columns will not be modified.

See also columnWidths() and createColumn().

### void QColumnView::setPreviewWidget ( QWidget * widget )

Sets the preview widget.

The widget becomes a child of the column view, and will be destroyed when the column area is deleted or when a new widget is set.

See also previewWidget() and updatePreviewWidget().

### void QColumnView::updatePreviewWidget ( const QModelIndex & index ) `[signal]`

This signal is emitted when the preview widget should be updated to provide rich information about index
