[Solved] QLineEdit visible width setting?

weblife

How may I set the visible width of QLineEdit with Qt 4.8.1 and up. Example would be to set the visible width to some pixel size or character width. I wish to only use C++ not QML.

My thought is in the direction of this block:
@ QHBoxLayout *nameRow = new QHBoxLayout;

    QLineEdit   *firstNameText = new QLineEdit,
                *middleIntText = new QLineEdit,
                *lastNameText  = new QLineEdit;

    //Whatever method is needed here to edit visible width
    //firstNameText->???
    //middleIntText->???
    //lastNameText->???

    nameRow->addWidget(firstNameText);
    nameRow->addWidget(middleIntText);
    nameRow->addWidget(lastNameText);

    layout->addLayout(nameRow);

    QWidget window;
    window.setLayout(layout);
    window.show();@

Answer Update:
@ firstNameText->setMaximumWidth(100);
firstNameText->setFixedWidth(120);
middleIntText->setMaximumWidth(50);
middleIntText->setFixedWidth(60);
lastNameText->setMaximumWidth(100);
lastNameText->setFixedWidth(120);@

do you want to resize your widget?
use this :
@
//for width
ui->lineEdit->setFixedWidth(300);

//for height
ui->lineEdit->setFixedHeight(100);

//for both
ui->lineEdit->setFixedSize(300,100);

setFixedWidth will set both min and maximum width, so doing setMaximumWidth before is redundant.
