Elided Labels in Qt
So for one of my projects I was dissatisfied with the fact that a
QLabel whose horizontal size policy is
Qt::Ignored will have its text clipped
instead of having an ellipsis at the end (or somewhere in there).
I whipped together a simple extension to
QLabel that puts an ellipsis at the
end based on the current size of the label. It's not complete
in general (e.g., doesn't really support multiple lines), but
for me it gets the job done. Feel free to use this code for
whatever purpose you please (i.e., it's in the public
domain).
