<![CDATA[Which output (display) widget are available.]]>Hi,
sorry to ask a really simple question: but what if I want to display in a widget a float number produced in my code?
The only thing I find for this is a LCD_display that i don't like much.
Is not there something like a QtLineEdit (same fonts) that does not accept
mouse focus, or keystrokes? (maybe with a grayed out background, but not essential)
Thank you!
I use QtCreator 2.5.2, Qt version is 4.8.6, last one that works in Scientific Linux 6. Going forward from this is quite painful because of upgrading gcc.

Hello,
You probably want QLabel. It's simplistic, but it's the simplest display widget out there. You can also use a QLineEdit that has its readOnly property set.

Kind regards.

QLabel *myLabel = new QLabel(this);
myLayout->addWidget(myLabel);
myLabel->setText(QString::number(myFloat, 'f', 2));
