Detailed Description

A replacement for QLabel that squeezes its text.

A label class that squeezes its text into the label

If the text is too long to fit into the label it is divided into remaining left and right parts which are separated by three dots.

Member Function Documentation

void KSqueezedTextLabel::clear

(

)

[slot]

Clears the text.

Same remark as above.

Definition at line 94 of file ksqueezedtextlabel.cpp.

void KSqueezedTextLabel::contextMenuEvent

(

QContextMenuEvent *

ev

)

[protected]

Reimplemented from superclass.

QString KSqueezedTextLabel::fullText

(

)

const

Get the full text set via setText.

Since:

4.4

void KSqueezedTextLabel::mouseReleaseEvent

(

QMouseEvent *

ev

)

[protected]

Reimplemented from superclass.

Definition at line 176 of file ksqueezedtextlabel.cpp.

void KSqueezedTextLabel::resizeEvent

(

QResizeEvent *

)

[protected]

Called when widget is resized.

Definition at line 65 of file ksqueezedtextlabel.cpp.

void KSqueezedTextLabel::setAlignment

(

Qt::Alignment

alignment

)

[virtual]

Overridden for internal reasons; the API remains unaffected.

Definition at line 125 of file ksqueezedtextlabel.cpp.

void KSqueezedTextLabel::setText

(

const QString &

text

)

[slot]

Sets the text.

Note that this is not technically a reimplementation of QLabel::setText(), which is not virtual (in Qt 4.3). Therefore, you may need to cast the object to KSqueezedTextLabel in some situations:

 KSqueezedTextLabel* squeezed = new KSqueezedTextLabel("text", parent);
 QLabel* label = squeezed;
 label->setText("new text");    // this will not work
 squeezed->setText("new text"); // works as expected
 static_cast<KSqueezedTextLabel*>(label)->setText("new text");  // works as expected

Parameters:

mode	The new text.

Definition at line 88 of file ksqueezedtextlabel.cpp.

void KSqueezedTextLabel::setTextElideMode

(

Qt::TextElideMode

mode

)

Sets the text elide mode.

Parameters:

mode	The text elide mode.

(

void

)

const [virtual]

Definition at line 77 of file ksqueezedtextlabel.cpp.

void KSqueezedTextLabel::squeezeTextToLabel

(

)

[protected]

does the dirty work

Definition at line 100 of file ksqueezedtextlabel.cpp.

Qt::TextElideMode KSqueezedTextLabel::textElideMode

(

)

const

Returns the text elide mode.
