[Qt-interest] QLabel wrap anywhere

[Eric Clark]

Jordan,

Try using the QFontMetrics::width() or the QFontMetrics::boundingRect().width() functions. One of  these should give you what you need.

Thanks,
Eric

Subject: [Qt-interest] QLabel wrap anywhere

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to wrap a QLabel anywhere and not just on line breaks.  I know this is possible with QTextEdits and I have thought about just using those instead of QLabels where I need this behavior but I am running on a mobile device and I am worried about performance of this.  Is there a way to figure out how much text of a given string will fit in a given width?  I'm thinking it is probably possible with QFontMetrics but I'm not sure.

Thank You,

Jordan Upham
