Hi,

I have an applciation with a simple status bar.

The issue is whenever I resize the main window, the texts in the status bar are overlapping with each other.

I want them to be a nicely cropped like any native windows application (e.g. Windows Word). Any idea on how to achieve that?

Following code shows how I initialize the text in this status bar.

Qt Code: 
  1. void SSDMainWindow::createStatusBar()
  2. {
  3. 	statusLabel = new QLabel(tr("Ready"));
  4. 	statusLabel->setIndent(3);
  5. 	statusBar()->addWidget(statusLabel);
  6.  
  7. 	gridSpacingLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Grid Spacing:                "));
  8. 	gridSpacingLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignVCenter);
  9. 	gridSpacingLabel->setMinimumSize(gridSpacingLabel->sizeHint());
  10. 	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(gridSpacingLabel);
  11. 	//statusBar()->addWidget(gridSpacingLabel);
  12. 	gridSpacingLabel->setText(tr(" Grid Spacing:"));
  13.  
  14. 	xPosLabel = new QLabel(tr(" X: 640        "));
  15. 	xPosLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignVCenter);
  16. 	xPosLabel->setMinimumSize(xPosLabel->sizeHint());
  17. 	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(xPosLabel);
  18. 	// statusBar()->addWidget(xPosLabel);
  19. 	xPosLabel->setText(tr(" X:"));
  20.  
  21. 	yPosLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Y: 480        "));
  22. 	yPosLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignVCenter);
  23. 	yPosLabel->setMinimumSize(yPosLabel->sizeHint());
  24. 	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(yPosLabel);
  25. 	// statusBar()->addWidget(yPosLabel);
  26. 	yPosLabel->setText(tr(" Y:"));
  27.  
  28. 	widthLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Width: 640        "));
  29. 	widthLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignVCenter);
  30. 	widthLabel->setMinimumSize(widthLabel->sizeHint());
  31. 	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(widthLabel);
  32. 	// statusBar()->addWidget(widthLabel);
  33. 	widthLabel->setText(tr(" Width:"));
  34.  
  35. 	heightLabel = new QLabel(tr(" Height: 480        "));
  36. 	heightLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft | Qt::AlignVCenter);
  37. 	heightLabel->setMinimumSize(heightLabel->sizeHint());
  38. 	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(heightLabel);
  39. 	// statusBar()->addWidget(heightLabel);
  40. 	heightLabel->setText(tr(" Height:"));
  41.  
  42. 	unsavedDataLabel = new QLabel();
  43. 	QPixmap pixmap(":changes.png");
  44. 	unsavedDataLabel->setPixmap(pixmap);
  45. 	unsavedDataLabel->setMinimumSize(unsavedDataLabel->sizeHint());
  46. 	statusBar()->addPermanentWidget(unsavedDataLabel);
  47. 	// statusBar()->addWidget(unsavedDataLabel);
  48. 	unsavedDataLabel->clear();
  49.  
  50. 	if (statusBarManager) {
  51. 		statusBarManager->connectUnsavedData(this, SLOT(unsavedData(bool)));
  52. 		statusBarManager->connectPositionChanged(this, SLOT(positionChanged(qreal, qreal)));
  53. 		statusBarManager->connectSizeChanged(this, SLOT(sizeChanged(qreal, qreal)));
  54. 		statusBarManager->connectGridSpacingChanged(this, SLOT(gridSpacingChanged(int)));
  55. 	}
  56. }
