Some QLineEdit questions

I'm using Python with PyQt and I have a few problems with my QLineEdits.

  1. First of all, I want to put text on them, but not the regular one, I mean the transparent text that disappears when you click on the QLineEdit.
  2. How can I disable clicking on my QLineEdit?
Solution

  • Pretty much like this:

    linedit = QtGui.QlineEdit()
linedit.setPlaceholderText("My grey text which disappear when I click on it")
linedit.setEnabled(False)

    with Qt minimum version 4.7 and latest PyQt 4.
