I have a QString
who's pixel length I can get by QFontmetrics::width()
, also I can have character length from QString
by QString::length()
, but here I am intended to cut QString
by specific amount of pixels.
Is there any way possible to have substring from QString
by giving pixel size?
Thanks!
Yes, you can use
QFontMetrics::elidedText
to do so. For example, to cut at 200 pixels use:The second parameter indicates the cut mode (more values here).
UPDATE: I'm not sure if it is a bug in Qt (Qt 5.10.0 for me), but indeed the
Qt::ElideNone
returns the same string. Here a workaround:A whole working example can be found here (you will need to add files to a new Qt project).
