How to make the text scroll

[prakashmaiya]

Dear Experts,

Kindly could you help me out to make the text scrolling. May be text have the 20 characters, instead giving so much width to display (since there is a size constraints), I just wanted to give only less width where only can show some 10 characters at a time, but rest of the characters should scroll.

I would really appreciated your help and suggestions on this. Thanks in advance :)

Am using Linux os and 4.7.2 Qt version.

what do you mean by scrolling text /

are you using QTextEdit or QLineEdit or something else ?

If you are using either of the above scrolling is a default behavior.

Thanks.

I Mean -- Imagine a label with a fixed size containing a single-line text string which is too wide to fit inside the label. I need to design a widget which shows the complete text string by scrolling the text string from right to left - similar to a horizontal moving banner.

Will this QLineEdit, and QTextEdit help me to do it?

Regards,
Maiya

BTW: think about display short description on QLabel & display complete text as ToolTip.
