Question

My code is very simple:

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent), ui(new Ui::Widget)
{
    lineEdit = new QLineEdit();
    label = new QLabel("");
    connect(lineEdit, SIGNAL(textChanged(QString)), label, SLOT(setText(QString)));
    ui->setupUi(this);
}

I compiled it, and no error or warning.

But When I run it, The UI like this:

Why QLabel‘s default text was TextLabel?

You should read some tutorials from Qt docs. You’re mixing QtDesigner ui with manual widget creation. Your default text on label comes from your ui file. Also you don’t need to create your labels/line edits when you use ui file. Just get them stright from ui class. So if you’ll get your ui file back to normal, then you may do something like this:

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent), ui(new Ui::Widget)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    connect(ui->lineEdit, SIGNAL(textChanged(QString)), ui->label, SLOT(setText(QString)));
}

Also change text in your label with Qt Designer by doubleclick on it.
