QML - Wrapmode not compelling the text into the rectangle

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 ?

Solution

  • 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.
