Multiline QListViewItems without linebreaks

Hello,

I would like to have a QListViewItem that shows its text in multiple lines. At first, I tried to set multiLinesEnabled(), but this unfortunately only works if there are linebreaks inside the text (which I don't have by default). It would be very convenient, if the word wrapping would be done automatically, so on every ResizeEvent as well. Does anybody have an idea how to do this?

Thanx in advance,
syntaxking.

Line size

One solution to the problem is to determine the width of the column and add a space within the text at that point. The text would therefore word wrap, even when resized.
Note you are not changing the value just what is displayed, maybe setting up a temp variable to hold the choped text.
