Within a task I want to read in an Excel document and display it with a PyQt5 GUI. As indicator I wanted to use the QTabelWidget. However, the Excel table has long strings, which are to be displayed using line wrap. Unfortunately, so far I haven't found a way to enable a line wrap on a QTabelWidget. Is such a thing possible at all? So far I have read that there is probably a way using the QTextDocument class. However, this has not worked for me yet either.
Below you will find a minimal example in which simply two constant strings are to be displayed in the widget.
import PyQt5.QtWidgets as qtw
import PyQt5.QtCore as qtc
import PyQt5.QtGui as qtg
class MainWindow(qtw.QMainWindow):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.window_width, self.window_height = 300, 200
self.resize(self.window_width, self.window_height)
layout = qtw.QVBoxLayout()
self.setLayout(layout)
self.table = qtw.QTableWidget()
layout.addWidget(self.table)
self.button = qtw.QPushButton('&Load Data')
layout.addWidget(self.button)
widget = qtw.QWidget()
widget.setLayout(layout)
self.setCentralWidget(widget)
self.button.clicked.connect(self.Set)
self.show()
def Set(self):
string0 = 'These is String zero'
string1 = 'This is a super long text that should be displayed using line breaks. This is a super long text that should be displayed using line breaks.'
self.table.setRowCount(2)
self.table.setColumnCount(2)
self.table.setHorizontalHeaderLabels(['String1', 'String2'])
self.table.setItem(0,0, qtw.QTableWidgetItem(string0))
self.table.setItem(0,1, qtw.QTableWidgetItem(string1))
if __name__== '__main__':
import sys
app = qtw.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MainWindow()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
The ouput looks like this: Output
Hope someone can help & Thanks.
