Center the Text of QTextEdit horizontally and vertically

Question

I want to center the text of my QTextEdit horizontally and vertically.

I tried this, but it didn\'t work.

m_myTextEdit = new QTextEdit(\"text edit\",

If you only need one line, you can use a QLineEdit instead:

QLineEdit* lineEdit = new QLineEdit("centered text");
lineEdit->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);

If you only want to display the text, not allow the user to edit it, you can use a QLabel instead. This works with line wrapping, too:

QLabel* label = new QLabel("centered text");
lineEdit->setWordWrap(true);
lineEdit->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
