How do I make a QLineEdit show some predetermined gray text only when it's unfocused and empty? Kind of like the Filter box above the list of widgets in Qt Designer, so you know what I mean.

The "Q"
Re: Line Edit "hint" text
In Qt 4.7 this is a property of the line edit, in older versions you have to subclass QLineEdit and implement it yourself. You can also use QwwButtonLineEdit and its placeholderText property.
Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.
