QLabel - visible text function or something else

hello,

I'm making something like music player and I'm using QLabel to display the track title.
Sometimes the track title is long and the result is:

I must create algorithm to show it all in parts. I want to ask: is there a function that return me only the visible text?

thanks all

Not sure of any such function.
I guess u want to show the whole text.
Would suggest 2 solutions -
1) Use setToolTip() to display the whole text
2) Inherit QLabel and make the text scrolling. Its easy. Set a fixed no of chars to display. Now display the string - fullString.mid(ith_position,no_of_chars_to_displaY ) using a QTimer .

Hope this helps :)

Yes, the scrolling is good method, but I don't know how many chars to display, because my form is resizable. May be I need to create funkction that calculate the chars from the label width.

Thank you...

There is such a function. Take a look at QFontMetrics::elidedText().
