[Qt-interest] QLabel wrap anywhere

[Ramesh]

There are two possibilities,

 

1)      You need to set the wordwrap property of Qlablel to true, but the
text gets wrapped only if it have spaces present in it else

    It will not.

 

2)

arecter-will-fit-to-screen-in-qt

using QFontMetrics <http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qfontmetrics.html>  get
the string width in pixels. But its still cumbersome,,

 

3)      If you feel none of the above methods are handy, then you hardcode
it. There are only 3 types of screen resolution you will have,

S60 5th edition phones one resolution, S603rd edition will have another
resolution and business series phones will have its own unique resolution
based on that you categorize and perform the operation.

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
