Problem with displaying % sign in a QString

[A Former User]

Hi,

I have tried various things to be able to display a % sign at the end of a string in a QLabel and have not been successful.
Here are some of the things I have tried:

1. Within the UI file:
   @
   <widget class="QLabel" name="processMemUsedLabel" >
   <property name="geometry" >
   <rect>.... </rect>
   </property>
   <property name="text" >
   <string>Used Mem %</string>
   </property>
   </widget>
   @

@
processMemUsedLabel->setTextFormat(Qt::RichText);
QString testStr = QString("Used Mem") + QString(QChar('%'));
processMemUsedLabel->setText(testStr);
@

Has anybody done this before? All that I want is a string to be displayed with a % sign at the end of the string.
I would appreciate any inputs to make this work.

Thanks!

RS

Never mind this issue.
Both my above approaches work when I increased the width of the rectangle for the QLabel.
I had specified 60 as the width and changing it to 80, made the % sign appear.
Looks like the width of the QLabel rectangle and length of the string to be displayed have a certain formula!
Thanks

Hi RS, Just an FYI, use code tag while writing code in post for better readability. (right most symbol on post area)

@//JustAnExample
processMemUsedLabel->setTextFormat(Qt::RichText);
QString testStr = QString(“Used Mem”) + QString(QChar(’%’));
processMemUsedLabel->setText(testStr);@
