qlineedit auto resize to content

问题

I'm trying to do a small widget with a lineedit and a pushbutton. If the button is clicked, it should open a filedialog where I can select a file. The file name should then showed in the lineedit. Here is what i got so far:

#include "widget_openimage.h"
#include <QFontMetrics>

Widget_openimage::Widget_openimage(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent) {

// horizontal layout
layout = new QHBoxLayout();

// linedit on the left which shows the path of the chosen file
lineedit = new QLineEdit();
lineedit->setReadOnly(true);

// pushbutton on the right to select the file
btn = new QPushButton("...");
btn->setFixedSize(20,20);
connect(btn, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(btn_clicked()));
connect(lineedit, SIGNAL(textChanged(QString)), this, SLOT(resize_to_content()));

layout->addWidget(lineedit);
layout->addWidget(btn);
this->setLayout(layout);
}

void Widget_openimage::btn_clicked() {
QString filename = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,tr("Open"), "", tr("Image Files (*.png *.jpg *.bmp));
if (filename.isEmpty())
return;
else {
      lineedit->setText(filename);
     }
}

void Widget_openimage::resize_to_content() {
QString text = lineedit->text();
QFontMetrics fm = lineedit->fontMetrics();
int width = fm.boundingRect(text).width();
lineedit->resize(width, lineedit->height());
}

the openfile function of the button works fine, and the right path is shown in the lineedit too. however the resize doesnt work. can anyone lend me a hand?

回答1:

First of all, there are some formatting issues with your code so i edited them and added some of my own. I used setFixedSize() instead of resize() because the user can decide to minimize the window and if that happens then why must you bother showing the full file path (I am guessing you want to show the full path at all times for a reason and not have the user being able to minimize the window to a point where not all the text in the lineedit shows.

Widget_openimage::Widget_openimage(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent) {

    // horizontal layout
    layout = new QHBoxLayout();

    // linedit on the left which shows the path of the chosen file
    lineedit = new QLineEdit;
    lineedit->setReadOnly(true);

    // pushbutton on the right to select the file
    btn = new QPushButton("...");
    btn->setFixedSize(20,20);

    connect(btn, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(btn_clicked()));

    //do this connection so when the text in line edit is changed, its size    changes to show the full text
    connect(lineedit, SIGNAL(textChanged(QString)), this, SLOT(resize_to_content()));

    layout->addWidget(lineedit);
    layout->addWidget(btn);
    this->setLayout(layout);
}

void Widget_openimage::btn_clicked() {
    QString filename = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,tr("Open"), "", tr("Image Files (*.png *.jpg *.bmp)"));

    //you have to set the file path text somewhere here
    lineedit->setText(filename);

    if (filename.isEmpty()) {
        return;
    }
}

void Widget_openimage::resize_to_content() {
    QString text = lineedit->text();

    //use QFontMetrics this way;
    QFont font("", 0);
    QFontMetrics fm(font);
    int pixelsWide = fm.width(text);
    int pixelsHigh = fm.height();

    lineedit->setFixedSize(pixelsWide, pixelsHigh);

    Widget_openimage::adjustSize();
}
