align to right

[Anonymous_Banned275]

Can somebody PLEASE suggest how to align the "appendPlainText " text to the right ?

   if(m_TAB_Connect)
    {
        // pass to debug window
        text = "Serial port      ";
        text += m_currentSettings.name;
        m_TAB_Connect->ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText(text);

        text = "Baud rate       ";
        text += QString::number(m_currentSettings.baudRate);
        m_TAB_Connect->ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText(text);
        text = "Data bits       ";
        text += QString::number(m_currentSettings.baudRate);
        m_TAB_Connect->ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText(text);

        text = "Parity         ";
        text += QString::number(m_currentSettings.baudRate);
        m_TAB_Connect->ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText(text);

        text = "Stop bits       ";
        text += m_ui->parityBox->currentText();
        m_TAB_Connect->ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText(text);

        text = "Flow control    ";
        text += m_ui->flowControlBox->currentText();
        m_TAB_Connect->ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText(text);




    }
    else
    {

    }

Thank you.

Hi, right-aligning I think does not help so much:
Instead, perhaps you need to split them into 2 columns.

@hskoglund Whops,,, wrong description on my part
I need this
Serial port portUSB0
Baud rate align 110

align the value (110 ) with (portUSB0) on the right ( so the zeros are in same location - in this example ) , BUT "it" won't let me to type it in aligned...

I thing I need to count the characters , get maximum count and then... what ?

You are appending plain text. The word plain implies that it can’t be formatted. See here, how it works. Reading documentation is always good.

I think I found the solution, it needs tweaking...

    // BUG runs twice  ??
    if(m_TAB_Connect)
    {
        // pass to debug window
        text = "Serial port      ";
        int TextLenght = text.size();

        text += m_currentSettings.name;
        m_TAB_Connect->ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText(text);

        int FullTextLenght = text.size();
        if( FullTextLenght >TextLenght  )
         {
            // BUG process
            text = "  BUG process    ";

            text = "Baud rate       ";
            QString Temp =  QString::number(m_currentSettings.baudRate);

TODO HERE 
            Temp = Temp.rightJustified(FullTextLenght," ");''

TODO HERE 
            text += Temp;
            //text += QString::number(m_currentSettings.baudRate);
            m_TAB_Connect->ui->plainTextEdit->appendPlainText(text);
            QString s = "apple";
            QString t = s.rightJustified(8, '.');    // t == "...apple"


        }
