QLabel auto multiple lines

Question

For example, we have a QLabel with MaximumWidth set to 400.
When we try to display some text with pixel width more than 400, it's shown cut off.
Is there any way to make QLabel display this string in multiple lines without using QFontMetrics or the like?

Answer 1

If I understood your question correctly, you should use the setWordWrap function for your label, with true as its parameter.

QLabel lbl("long long string");
lbl.setWordWrap(true);

Answer 2

In order to show multiple lines in QLabel, right click on QLabel and select 'change rich text'. This brings up dialog where you can type the text as you want to see including enter key. Setting the word wrap is not required for this.

If you set the word wrap as well (in QLabel properties) than it will wrap each individual line in the Qlabel if it was longer than the real estate.
