Detailed Description
The QListWidgetItem class provides an item for use with the QListWidget item view class.
The QListWidgetItem class provides a list item for use with the QListWidget class. List items provide label information that is displayed in list widgets.
The item view convenience classes use a classic item-based interface rather than a pure model/view approach. For a more flexible list view widget, consider using the QListView class with a standard model.
List items can be automatically inserted into a list when they are constructed by specifying the list widget:
new QListWidgetItem(tr("Hazel"), listWidget);
They can also be created without a parent widget, and later inserted into a list (see QListWidget::insertItem()).
List items are typically used to display text() and an icon(). These are set with the setText() and setIcon() functions. The appearance of the text can be customized with setFont(), setTextColor(), and setBackgroundColor(). List items can be aligned using the setAlignment() function. Tooltips, status tips and "What's This?" help can be added to list items with setToolTip(), setStatusTip(), and setWhatsThis().
Items can be made checkable by calling setFlags() with the appropriate value (see Qt::ItemFlags). Checkable items can be checked and unchecked with the setChecked() function. The corresponding checked() function indicates whether the item is currently checked.
The isItemHidden() function can be used to determine whether the item is hidden. Items can be hidden with setItemHidden().
