QInputDialog::setInputMode doesn't work

[Sucharek]

Hi, I've been trying to set up QInputDialog::setInputMode, but I can't seem to get it to work. Here's what I tried:

QInputDialog getCustomText;
getCustomText.setInputMode(QInputDialog::InputMode (QInputDialog::UsePlainTextEditForTextInput));
qDebug() << getCustomText.inputMode(); //prints 0
if (getCustomText.exec() == QInputDialog::Accepted) {
    ...
}

Because QInputDialog::UsePlainTextEditForTextInput is an InputDialogOption, not an InputMode

Hi @Christian-Ehrlicher, oh ok, but there are only 3 options, not including textEdit. Can I have QTextEdit instead of QLineEdit?

Hi,

Use the setOption method.

Hi @SGaist, thank you, that is what I was looking for. It works perfectly. Code:

QString text;
QInputDialog getCustomText;
getCustomText.setOption(QInputDialog::UsePlainTextEditForTextInput);
getCustomText.setWindowTitle("Set a custom course");
getCustomText.setLabelText("Type in or paste an article.");
if (getCustomText.exec() == QInputDialog::Accepted) {
    text = getCustomText.textValue();
}
