How to Remove the Header in QTableView?

Question

As shown in the Image below, How can i remove the unwanted header section ?

My Table has to display only 4 column headers. It should not display the whole header section. Please Help to remove the Header Section which is displaying after the 4th column (Header section which is highlighted).

Solution 1

From your comments in the other answer, I wonder if, by 'it should not display the whole header section', you mean you want to remove the header altogether.

If so, here's how:

myTable->horizontalHeader()->hide();

Solution 2

You can stretch the last column to take all the avaiable space using the stretchLastSection property:

myTable->horizontalHeader()->setStretchLastSection(true);

Or you can hide it with a stylesheet:

myTable->setStyleSheet("QHeaderView {background-color: transparent;}");

Yes.. that's what i want. But, I just want to know, Is there anyother way of removing the Header section.

@NewMoon I don't think there is anything that is simpler than hiding it with a style sheet. You'd probably have to resize the header so it's the same width as the total width of your columns. If your columns are set to fixed width, then it is fairly simple, but I'd still go with the style sheets.

@NewMoon if you are not looking for easy ways, you may create your own widget, based on QHeaderView

@thuga: I think NewMoon might want to remove the header altogether, in which case, there is a simpler way than with a style sheet: stackoverflow.com/a/37994662/1450294

@MichaelScheper No. In his question he highlighted only the stretched section, and he stated Please Help to remove the Header Section which is displaying after the 4th column (Header section which is highlighted).

@thuga: Hmmm, yes, you're right. I think this is called not seeing the forest for the trees. ☺

Requires #include <QHeaderView>
