Setting text color on QLabel

[wysota]

It is just a string, you can replace it however and whenever you want.

Thanks!

I'm kinda unfamiliar with that HTML style markup. How can I set the text for the label to be taken from for example QString or QTime with that kind of color color setting? How do I wrap it so that it does not show you the variables name, but what is stored in them instead?

QString colour; // you can use also QColor
QString text;
// ...
QString template = tr("<font color='%1'>%2</font>");
somelabel->setText( template.arg( colour, text ) );

QString colour; // you can use also QColor
QString text;
// ...
QString template = tr("<font color='%1'>%2</font>");
somelabel->setText( template.arg( colour, text ) );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Qt Code:

1. QString colour; // you can use also QColor
2. QString text;
3. // ...
4. QString template = tr("<font color='%1'>%2</font>");
5. somelabel->setText( template.arg( colour, text ) );

Don't use template it's a keyword

Good point, I didn't notice that.

QString fonttemplate = tr("<font color='%1'>%2</font>");
somelabel->setText( fonttemplate.arg( colour, text ) );

Simply, but elegant!

It's hints like these that make this forum so valuable.

Jacke, if you are ever in Lincoln, NE then visit the Nebraska State Office Building and ask for me. I'll take you out for a steak dinner!!

Thank you! Unfortunately I have no overseas journeys in my plans now, but we'll see what the future holds.
