Is there a stylesheet tag I can use to change the font/font size of the placeholder text (and just that, leave the normal edit text as is) in QLineEdit?
The placeholder is shown only if text() is empty. Connect textChanged to your slot and set appropriate font using setFont. If text() is empty, set placeholder font, instead set normal font.

My splitButton should not have any text on the button. So when I try to achieve this using by providing blank value for the value attribute, the button shrinks to a very small size. I want it to remain the size of the dropdown button which appears beside it. I don't have an actionListener, therefore I need the button to display no text.
Is there no default size set to the button when it contains no text? Or is it possible to apply a style property to it?
Put the value attribute like this:
value=" "
For example, we have a QLabel with MaximumWidth set to 400.
When we try to display some text with pixel width more than 400, it's shown cut off.
Is there any way to make QLabel display this string in multiple lines without using QFontMetrics or the like?
If I understood your question correctly, you should use the setWordWrap function for your label, with true as its parameter.
QLabel lbl("long long string");
lbl.setWordWrap(true);
In order to show multiple lines in QLabel, right click on QLabel and select 'change rich text'. This brings up dialog where you can type the text as you want to see including enter key. Setting the word wrap is not required for this.
If you set the word wrap as well (in QLabel properties) than it will wrap each individual line in the Qlabel if it was longer than the real estate.
As another option to wrap text using Qt Designer, you can check the box under Property Editor for a QLabel:
I want the line to appear only when we hovered or press the hyperlink text not in normal state and i want to change the color of the text also. i have tried Qpalette but i found no change in color.
You can add a style attribute to your anchor tag:
QLabel *label = new QLabel("<a style='text-decoration:none' "
"href='http://www'>your link</a>);
See the HTML subset supported by Qt's rich-text widgets for details.
When I go into the In-Place Editor Repository and set the WordWrap property = Wrap on a TextEdit (it is being used as the editor in the Vertical Grid) there is no wrapping at runtime. The text tickertapes instead.
My users are clamoring for wordwrap, and they also want to see the text in the field too --not like the MemoExEdit which displays a two-state icon: "empty" and "has some text" and the user only gets to see the text when they give the editor focus.
Is it possible to get wordwrap on an in-place TextEdit? Or is that property setting ignored?
TextEdit is a single-line editor.
You should use MemoEdit instead.
The MemoExEdit can be used as well. Simply set the ShowIcon property to false and the text in the field will be displayed instead of the icon.
I'm having this problem of adding an image to the textArea in RichTextEditor (RTE) on the fly and this image seems to "reset" the html properties of the textArea.
Better explained:
The user starts writing something in the TextArea (with Verdana in size:12 font settings). When he adds an image to the text area, the cursor right after the image gets very small and the font settings are reset to HUM777B in size:2.
How could I avoid this behavior?
It seems Flex adds additional HTML code before the image tag. If there was any way to avoid this I would be able to add my own settings to the tags.
Just before you programmatically add the image to the textArea, create a variable and store a reference to the textArea styling info. Set the styling info using this variable after you have added the image.
