QTextEdit -> add Text

[jpn]

Yes, a scroll bar should appear by default as needed.

PS. You can extremely easily verify it with only a few lines of code:

// main.cpp
#include <QtGui>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QTextEdit t;
    t.show();
    return a.exec();
}

// main.cpp
#include <QtGui>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QTextEdit t;
    t.show();
    return a.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Then just type in the magic combo

qmake -project
qmake
make
./app

...and start typing to see whether a scroll bar appears. In the end it will take less time to test such things than to post a question on the forums.

But then again i am asking myself, why my current QTextEdit no longer displays its scrollbars.

Could that be related with my layout and my defined size of the object itself ?


EDIT: solved
i have to damn myself. Actually i am working with a fix window size (which was changed lately) and the QTextEdit had a fix sized too....which i forgot to change too during that resizing action in my source.


guess best thing is not to work with fixed sizes, if i am not forced too.


Thanks again to all helping people inhere.

Definitely. Not everyone has same resolution. A fixed size of a window/control might be completely inappropriate for somebody else. Fixed sizes will also make localization unnecessarily hard. Imagine that same widget should have different textual content depending on the chosen language. Very easy with flexible layouts, a pain with fixed sizes.

You're welcome.
