Create the label with line edit as parent and set the layout properly.

Put the text in the lineedit with setText(). Subclass the lineedit and capture keypresses so you can filter out the keypresses (cursor left, home, backspace) that would move the cursor into the forbidden area.

with yogeshgokul's solution, the LineEdit's cursor starts from the beginning,
the user inputs covers the label, label acts as a background.
How can you make the curor starts after the label?

Why dont you create your own widget? And design it how ever you want. Because in Qt any widget can be parent of any widget. So enjoy this freedom ;)

Because painting a QLineEdit with the blinking cursor is not as trivial as it seems for beginners... But after setting the label above the line edit just use QWidget::setContentsMargins() on the line edit (with the size of the label) and the label will stop to overlay the input text.

lineedit setContentsMargins() indents the lineedit box, it made the label out of the lineedit box.

Ups, I've ment: QLineEdit::setTextMargins().
