I'm trying to setup text alignment for QTableView , by:
setStyleSheet("QTableView {Alignment: center;}");
But it doesn't seem to work at all.
And if this ain't going to work , is there any other solution rather than re-implementing a model ?
Thanks
I'm pretty sure there's no way to set the text alignment of a QTableView item via CSS, instead it's something that has to be expressed by reimplementing the model. The reasoning (I believe) being that QTableView elements can be 'anything' so textual alignment is too abstract.
On the plus side, once you set it for the column, it 'just works'.
For reference, stylesheet documentation

I have a QGridLayout with QLabels in it that are displaying some values and the units to that values. For good readability I want the value to be left-aligned within the QLabel and the unit to be right-aligned.
At first I wanted to do this with QtStyleSheets but the only way I found was to change the text-alignment of the whole widget like this:
myLabel.setStyleSheet("QLabel {qproperty-alignment: AlignRight}")
My second thought was to do it via HTML but there I also encountered several problems. Here is what I tried:
myLabel.setText("<div align=\"left\">Value<\div><div align=\"right\">Unit<\div>")
This does the right thing, after that the value is left-aligned and the unit right-aligned, but they are not on the same line anymore. Nevertheless it appears to me the more promising approach. Unluckily I am not very familiar with HTML.
Can anybody help?
Or if you really just want go on with html in QLabel use table instead of div's. But #saeed is right, better use Qt Layouts and spacer between them.
Example with HTML:
myLabel.setText("<table width=\"100%\"><td width=\"50%\" align=\"left\">Value</td><td width=\"50%\" align=\"right\">Unit</td></table>");
I suggest you to use two Qlabels and a Horizontal spacer like image below , this is fast and you can let Qt handle whole design layout.
I am kind of a Newbie in nattable, I want change the alignment of first header column in nattable to the left and the rest remain on the right, I know that alignment is generally defined like this:
this.cHeaderHAlign = HorizontalAlignmentEnum.RIGHT;
Is it possible and How can I do it?
From your code snippet it looks like you are referring to theme configurations. But without going into details how this can be done using themes you need to understand how the basics are working.
In general you need to add a custom label to the first column in the column header and then apply a style object with the needed alignment for that label.
Have a look at the NatTable - Getting Started Tutorial to get an idea how this can be achieved.
I'm trying to produce a pay check. I will allow the user to setup the position of the items according to their check style.
From my research, it seems that the position of text boxes in SSRS is static and not dynamic. There is no "expression" option for Top/Left. I thought a way to get around this might be to make the text boxes large and overlapping and then set the padding top/left based on expressions to the positions that user has selected. However, it seems that similar to HTML, the text boxes either float around the higher level text boxes or simply drop out of view.
This would be simple if there were a way to tell SSRS not to be concerned with the order of the text boxes and simply display them overlapping, however I don't feel that there is.
Given that, what other options to I have for dynamically positioning text boxes in an SSRS 2008 report? I'm moving right along with this project but I've hit this stumbling block.
SSRS gives you a lot of options for dynamic formatting but Size and Location are fixed. You cannot change this. Overlapping of textboxes does not work in the soft-break renderers like HTML and Excel but does work in hard-break renderers like PDF or TIFF. Have you tried your padding technique and output the report as PDF?
I'm not sure what are going to do in your report, But in similar cases I usually use Space character to position a text. For instance,
IIf(Len(Fields(YourColumn.valu)) > 10, Fields(YourColumn.valu), " ")
Note that you have to ensure it can implemented in your case or not. I'm not sure that it is helpful but as long as the location and width properties are fix this is the only option
Note 2 : I'm using Unbreakable Space character instead of simple Space so that SSRS render it without any problem
I'm new on this particular project, and I've been tasked with resolving an issue that's appearing in IE8.
If you check http://funds.ft.com/ETFHomepage.aspx, There's a section called "News". In that section, there's a column called "Most Popular ETFs". This should be the same width as the "Recently Viewed ETFs" column.
For reference, this page is appearing correctly in Firefox. Can somebody please point out what I can do with CSS or (some other means)* to resolve this?
*I know the best way to resolve this issue is to scrap the terrible design and implement it correctly!! :-) -- we're actually doing that right now. It's a big job, so it's taking a long time. In the mean time however, we have to fix the bugs as they appear. Thanks
Update: just to note what I've said to Hristo, "I think the problem is with the table (rather, nested tables) on the left. The table in the center has its width defined by the image, and the table on the right doesn't have an image so it gets crushed"
Well the reason this is happening is because of the url you have under the "Alphaville: Overcoming the Volcker rule, with ETFs" header. Since the url has no whitespace in it, the table tries to give it space. So there are a couple of ways to fix this problem:
Plain text urls aren't very becoming on a webpage (especially when they're not in anchor tags so you can click on them.) Could you update the content so that you don't have a raw url in your content?
If you must be able to handle long lines of text with no whitespace then you need to figure out how to change the layout of the page so it forces the text to either wrap or clip to fit the container. Try playing around with putting "table-layout: fixed" on your tables to force the column widths to be sized based on the table's specifications only (instead of content). Firefox seems to be wrapping on dashes and slashes in the url whereas IE only wants to wrap on the dashes in the url.
I would say your layout is fine, and you just need to fix the content generation so it doesn't include any long plain text urls (option 1 above)
EDIT: If you do decide to go with option 2 above, then look into the css rule "word-break: break-all". It is IE only and it forces the text to break as soon as it reaches the end of the container. Not good for words, but it works for url's. So you couldn't apply this to the whole news table, but you could to just the cell that contains the url.
In actionscript 3, my TextField has :
CSS styling
embedded fonts
textAlign : CENTER
autoSize : CENTER
... when italics are used the very right character gets slightly cut off (specially caps).
It basically seems that it fails detecting the right size.
I've had this problem before but just wondered is there a nice workaround (instead of checking textWidth or offsetting text etc.)?
Initialize your textField as you always do, using multiline, autosize, htmlText...
Then do this little trick :
// saving wanted width and height plus 1px to get some space for last char
var savedWidth = myTextField.width + 1;
var savedHeight = myTextField.height + 1;
// removing autoSize, wich is the origin of the problem i think
myTextField.autoSize = "none";
// now manually autoSizing the textField with saved values
myTextField.width = savedWidth;
myTextField.height = savedHeight;
Not that it is much comfort to you, but Flash sometimes has trouble with this seemingly simple task. CSS styling of html TextField was a nice addition but it has caused headaches for text-rendering. In fact I very rarely use CSS for styling text for that reason. I can only imagine that combining bold, italic and normal type faces within the HTML causes Flash to get some of the width calculations wrong which causes autoSize to set the mask a tiny bit short. I hope very much that the new text rendering engine in Flash Player 10 will finally fix these issues (it certainly looks better in theory).
So my solution is never to use HTML with the exception being when I require <a> links in my text ... and there are even some tricky text shifting issues there. In those cases I avoid mixing different font weights and font styles within the same text field. All other cases I use TextFormat directly on TextField.
I suppose if you can't get out of your current architecture (for some reason) you could try adding to the end of your html encoded strings. Or you could manually set the width of the field and not rely on autoSize (as you have mentioned). But if you keep on the CSS/HTML route you may find another new and painful limitation just when you don't want it.
I've had issues with TextField masks behaving differently in the Flash preview, and in the actual browser plugin. Usually, and this is strange to me, it would appear more correctly in the browser. Have you tried running the swf in a browser to see if the problem is actually an annoyance rather than a permanent problem?
I had said this:
My in-ideal approach to solving this is to attach a change event to the TextField which always adds a space after the last character of the field. And then to remember to trim this space off when using the value.
But that didn't take into account that this probably doesn't have a change event and that it's an HTML rendered text field. To add a trailing space in the HTML text field throw in an again, that's not really fixing the problem.
