I need to create a text input dialog with multiple lines. Is there any way to do this using QInputDialog?
If not, is the simplest recommendation to subclass QPlainTextEdit?

QInputDialog and more precisely getText work only with a QLineEdit.
Just implement a small dialog sublass which contains a QPlainTextEdit. Shouldn’t be too much work. Not as fast as QInputDialog, but not too much effort either.
Update: since version Qt 5.2, QInputDialog has getMultiLineText.
