QListWidget very long text

I'm asking this question because i dont know how to google it, i dont find the right keywords.

I have a QListWidget with strings inside. The strings are very long and if i disable horizontal scrolling, which is what i want, then the text ends with ... because it is too long.

I would like to have the text to display the end of the text and the beginning like:

This is very long text to This is ... text instead of This is very long ...

Is there any simple way to achieve this without having to manipulate the string? I need the full string afterwards and i dont want to store extra data. Any help is appreciated.

Solution

  • There is indeed a very easy solution: Lock for TextElideMode and Qt::ElideMiddle (setTextElideMode ( Qt::TextElideMode mode )).
