Methods

A QLabel variant that will elide text (could add '…') to fit width.

QElidingLabel() QElidingLabel(parent: Optional[QWidget], f: Qt.WindowFlags = ...) QElidingLabel(text: str, parent: Optional[QWidget] = None, f: Qt.WindowFlags = ...)

For a multiline eliding label, use setWordWrap(True). In this case, text will wrap to fit the width, and only the last line will be elided. When wordWrap() is True, sizeHint() will return the size required to fit the full text.

setElideMode(mode: Qt.TextElideMode) -> None

Set the elide mode to a Qt.TextElideMode.

setEllipsesWidth(width: int) -> None

A width value to take into account ellipses width when eliding text.

The value is deducted from the widget width when computing the elided version of the text.
