    Hi,

    A few weeks ago I find perfect class in Qt, which do:

    I have some long text like "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA", and my QLabel has fixed Width and it's smaller
    than size of my long text ( in pixels ). I would like to see in QLabel something like:

    "AAAA...AAAA".

    I know that is possible, but I don't remember the name of this class...

    EDIT:

    In this function in that class I have to add param: the size in pixels.

    EDIT2: Maybe QFontMetrics - I have to check that

      Maybe this example helps: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-widgets-elidedlabel-example.html

        @TomNow99
        And https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html#TextElideMode-enum, https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfontmetrics.html#elidedText.

        https://itqna.net/questions/14614/it-possible-use-elide-qlabel derives from QLabel, while the Qt example derives from QFrame. The last answer there is just 4 lines rather than a whole class. As you please.
