I am posting because I want a text the be wrap into a rectangle (if the text is too long, it will be cut and the end of it won't be display)
For now I tried with :
Rectangle {
id: form
property alias px: form.x
property alias py: form.y
property alias pheight: form.height
property alias pwidth: form.width
property ItemControl itemControl
color: itemControl.backgroundColor
border.width: 1
border.color: itemControl.color
radius: 1
Text {
id: text_field
height: parent.height
width: parent.width
anchors.centerIn: parent
text:itemControl.text
color: itemControl.color
font.pixelSize: 16
font.family: robotoMono.name
font.bold: false
wrapMode: text_field.WordWrap
maximumLineCount: 1
}
}
But I don't have the expected result. The text is still continuing after the end of the rectangle. Does anyone knows how to compel the text into the rectangle ?
You used Text.WordWrap but the text only contains one word (the . and underscores aren't treated as word separators). Text.Wrap and Text.WrapAnywhere may be more appropriate in this case. Moreover, maximumLineCount: 1 will limit Text to only show one line.
Consider making the font smaller, the rectangle larger, or redesign the UI for this bit.

The following code to create a rounded TextField
TextField {
id: usernameTextField
placeholderText: qsTr("username")
width: 250
height: 40
anchors {
top: parent.top
topMargin: giveDetailsLabel.anchors.topMargin + 36
horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
horizontalCenterOffset: 0
}
background: Rectangle {
radius: 20
border.color: "#C9C9C9"
border.width: 1
}
verticalAlignment: TextField.AlignVCenter
font.pixelSize: 16
font.weight: Font.Normal
font.family: "Open Sans"
leftPadding: 10
}
The problem with the following code, the text is not in the center it's shifted up for some reason and I try many different ways like anchors the background rectangle to fit the parent and it not work, using verticalAlignment: TextField.AlignVCenter not work properly
another question is I have the same exact text field but I used echoMode: TextField.Password to make the password, the password dots are so big, I try to decrease the font but the text also decrease before it converts to dot, so how to decrease the dot only without decrease the text size so user see what they are writing in big font before the character converts, here how it looks on Android
and also again the text shifted up and for dots for character and never center inside the text.
using QT 6.2
Text type has this nice feature fontSizeMode, which tries to fit the font size to the actual size of the visual component. So that when I set the font size to 20 and I resize the window so this font size is too big, it automatically lowers the font size.
Text {
text: qsTr("Text")
font.pointSize: 20
fontSizeMode: Text.Fit
}
Now I wanted to use this functionality with the TextInput type, but there is no fontSizeMode available. So my question is, how can I achieve the same functionality with TextInput? Now, when the font size is set and I downsize the window, the string in the TextInput is cut in half like this:
You can scale the element down to constrain it to a specific width:
Rectangle {
width: 100
height: 50
color: "red"
TextInput {
anchors.centerIn: parent
font.pointSize: 20
text: "test"
scale: Math.min(1, parent.width / contentWidth)
Rectangle {
color: "white"
anchors.fill: parent
z: -1
}
}
}
I sticked with this solution. Bind the font.pixelSize property to the parent height. Although I'm not sure if it is 100% correct, it does exactly what I want. If there is some problem about it, please make me know.
Text {
text: qsTr("Text")
font.pixelSize: 0.1 * parent.height
}
I am developing a Qt program using QML in which a user has to enter a variable-sized input (up to 50 chars). Since the program window is not big enough I cannot accommodate a 50 char-wide input rectangle. I would like the input box ("inputNameField" below) to act as a mask over the text so that the characters that are out of the input box are not visible. Here is my base code:
Rectangle
{
id: inputNameBox
onVisibleChanged: if (visible) textNameInput.forceActiveFocus()
anchors.verticalCenter: parent.verticalCenter
anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
color: 'grey'
radius: 5
height: parent.height/8
width: parent.width/4
TextInput
{
id: textNameInput
autoScroll: true
anchors.margins: inputNameBox.radius
anchors.fill: inputNameBox
font.pixelSize: inputNameBox.height/2
maximumLength: 50
horizontalAlignment: TextInput.AlignHCenter
verticalAlignment: TextInput.AlignVCenter
}
}
I have tried using the inputNameField as an OpacityMask over the textNameInput to no avail.
EDIT: duplicate of Custom TextEdit, how to hide TextInput when it goes wide
I want to draw a rectangle around a QML Text object that is using word wrapping. TextMetrics seems like it would be ideal, but it does not appear to support wrapped text.
How can I measure how text is laid out in a Text object? Must I match the wrapping logic and manually calculate the offsets using TextMetrics and FontMetrics?
You can use contentWidth and contentHeight:
Text {
text: "..."
wrapMode: Text.Wrap
Rectangle {
border.color: "red"
color: "transparent"
width: parent.contentWidth
height: parent.contentHeight
}
}
I've been having trouble with different OSs (tried Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.10) having different font widths and heights. I tried setting pixelSize and pointSize and both results in different sizes in both Arial and Courier font texts (Windows fonts are generally bigger).
Here is an example:
Rectangle {
width: 312
height: 44
Text {
id: text_1
text: qsTr("1234567890123456789012345678901234567890")
anchors.top: parent.top
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
font.family: "Courier"
font.pointSize: 10
}
Text {
id: text_2
text: qsTr("123456789012345678901234567890")
anchors.top: text_1.bottom
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
font.family: "Courier"
font.pointSize: 10
}
Text {
id: text_3
text: qsTr("12345678901234567890123456789012345")
anchors.top: text_2.bottom
anchors.left: parent.left
anchors.right: parent.right
font.family: "Courier"
font.pointSize: 10
}
}
This rectangle's width and height are defined by trial and error to fit the 3 text's in Ubuntu. See screenshots below:
In my application, I'd like one text object (with Courier font) to fill it's parent's width (text is fixed). In another rectangle, I'd like the text objects (more than one, anchored just like in the example above, with Arial font) to fill the parent's height.
Currently, I'm looking for a way to set the parent's width and height dynamically, calculated from the fixed text content, but I can't shake the feeling there's got to be a simpler way to do this.
Any tips are appreciated.
Choosing a parent height/width in this case in a bad idea - as you can see, it's not portable; and what if you decided to change your font later, would you want to recalculate everything? This is something you want to delegate to QML.
I suggest using Layouts, like this :
import QtQuick.Layouts 1.1 // Necessary to use ColumnLayout
ColumnLayout { // A Single Column
Text {
id: text_1
text: qsTr("1234567890123456789012345678901234567890")
// No need for anchoring ! You may want to use Layout.fillWidth: true in some cases
font.family: "Courier"
font.pointSize: 10
}
Text {
id: text_2
text: qsTr("123456789012345678901234567890")
font.family: "Courier"
font.pointSize: 10
}
Text {
id: text_3
text: qsTr("12345678901234567890123456789012345")
font.family: "Courier"
font.pointSize: 10
}
}
