Using QFont

[ivanicy]

Hello!

I'm trying to change the ui's labels' fonts with code. I have a variable which saves the new font size, for example:

int labelSize = 12;
ui->label->font().setPointSize(labelSize);

But I have the following error:

'void QFont::setPointSize(int)' : cannot convert 'this' pointer from 'const QFont' to 'QFont &'

and I don't know how to fix it.

Thank you very much!!

Hi,

Technically it should rather be:

QFont font = m_label->font();
font.setPointSize(50);
m_label->setFont(font);

So you are always sure to modify the font from a given widget which might have bee changed elsewhere.
