        Did you study signal & slots topic ? Did you see signals in lineedit and slots in labels? These two hints should be able to solve your issue.

          MainWindow.h

          signals:
          void textChanged(const QString &text);
          
          //public slots:
          //void recvText(const QString &text);
          
          
          private slots:
            void on_pushButton_clicked();
          
            void on_lineEdit_textChanged(const QString &text);
          
            void on_label_linkActivated(const QString &link);
          

          MainWindow.cpp

             connect(ui->lineEdit,SIGNAL(textChanged(QString)),
                    ui->label,SLOT(linkActivated(QString)));
          
          // connect(ui->lineEdit,SIGNAL(textChanged(QString)),
              //      ui->label,SLOT(on_label_linkActivated(QString)));
          
          }
          
          MainWindow::~MainWindow()
          {
              delete ui;
          }
          
          void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
          {
          ui->lineEdit->show();
          ui->label->show();
          
          
          }
          
          void MainWindow::on_lineEdit_textChanged(const QString &text)
          {
             // emit textChanged(const QString  &text);
             // QString text = lineedit->text();
               emit textChanged(text);
          
               ui->label->show();
          
          }
          
          void MainWindow::on_label_linkActivated(const QString &text)
          {
              QString input= text;
              ui->label->clear();
              ui->label->setText(input);
              ui->label->update();
              ui->label->show();
          
          }

                Do you want a button and a label for each element in your list or just 1?

                      After input some text in edittext, QLabel will be changed with this text in QListWidgetItem.

                        Do you want to add items to the list?
                        Should the button enable the editing of existing items?
                        Do you really need the button (QListWidget by default does what you want on existing items)?

                          -> yes ,, i want to add items to the list .
                          ->i want to add some sample datas(EX: Hi ,,hello,,999,,22...etc)
                          just for testing

                          Actually the goal we must to do is adding and updating contacts in contacts listwidget.

                            ok, delete your label, lineedit, and pushbutton. try putting in your constructor

                            ui->listwidget->model()->insertRows(0,10);
                            

                            Now there should be 10 blank "labels" in your list widget, if you doubleclick on them a lineedit appears to let you change it and when you move away it goes back into "label mode". All 100% already managed by QListWidget. Is this what you were looking for?

                            Actually the goal we must to do is adding and updating contacts in contacts listwidget.

                            To add a new line you have 2 options:

                            • a button that adds a new line
                            • a system that creates a "ghost line" at the end that, when edited will become a real line (more or less like MS Access lets you change tables)

                                  @VRonin
                                  There's some sort of "history" mechanism going on here. The user types something somewhere, it is to be added to this list as the first item. User then types something again, this gets added as the next item in the list.... :)

                                  So to the OP, @Dimple: you need to write code so that after each text entered in the line edit it should insert/append one additional row, setting that row's text from the line edit.

                                      Hi,

                                      Did you took a look at the the example code in QListWidget's documentation ? It shows how to add new items.

                                          There are in the order you addItem them.
                                          However, there is also
                                          http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlistwidget.html#insertItem
                                          which allows you to insert at any row you want and hence put on top if you wish.
