Question

Here is my example code:

QInputDialog* inDialog = new QInputDialog();
inDialog->setMaximumWidth(100);
inDialog->setLabelText(QString("long and very long......you can say very long"));

The input box showing really long (as long as the string), I was expected the way to set word-wrap for the LabelText, but it seem QInputDialog has no method for that!!!

What can I do now? Write my own InputDialog class? Oh no…!
I hope there is a better way for it!

Answer 1

I would do it myself, like this for example :

QString s = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut" ;
QString wrapped ;
if(s.length()>35)
{
    wrapped = s.left(15) + QString(".....") + s.right(15) ;
}
else
{
    wrapped = s ;
}
inDialog->setLabelText(wrapped) ;
