Update label to display a text field's character count?

[Eskimo]

Hello folks. I'm new to this forum but I have already learned quite a bit.
First, thanks for such a great resource.

A quick search of the forum did not turn up an answer to this (I assume) easy question.

I have a form that has a text field and a label. I am trying to update the label's text property with the character count in the text field.

A pseudo-VB code may be something like:

On keypress()
lblCharacters.caption = len(txtTyping.text)

On keypress()
lblCharacters.caption = len(txtTyping.text)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Can someone help me with the equivalent in Qt?

Connect the textChanged() signal from QLineEdit (or an appropriate equivalent from QTextEdit) to a custom slot where you will read the text from the text widget (textChanged() signal carries it as a parameter), check its size using QString::size(), convert it from integer to string using QString::number() and set it on the label using QLabel::setText().

Thank you, I'll try that. I see I still have a lot to learn.
