How to cut of right side of combo box text instead of left size when not enough space to show all text

[dporobic]

I have a combo box that can be shrunk to a size where not all text fits, currently the text on the left side is cut of in such a case, is there a possibility to cut of on the right side?

Thanks for the hint, got this solution working for me:

The only part that I'm not happy with is the hard coded button width, would have been nice if I could find that dynamically.

    auto fit_text = m_fileNameLabel->fontMetrics().elidedText( file_info.fileName(), Qt::ElideRight, m_fileNameLabel->size().width() );
    m_fileNameLabel->setText( fit_text );

I am using elidedText for my qlabel. It may be useful for you as well.

@dporobic query the width of the button inside resizeEvent(QResizeEvent * event). It is dynamic.
