Print text on the LineEdit

[redfox_02]

Hello everyone I am new to this forum and I enjoy a bit of time with QT 5.7 I've created a first graphical interface, but now I have a problem where I'm stuck printing LineEdit.
I post the code I was able to print in the textEdit text but if you want to print in a LineEdit simply replacing the previous me error:


void MainWindow:n_actionPrint_triggered()
{
QPrinter printer;
printer.setPrinterName("desierd printer name");
QPrintDialog dialog(&printer,this);
if(dialog.exec() == QDialog::Rejected) return;
ui->textEdit->print(&printer);
}


If as I said now I replace the textEdit the LineEdit me error will be changed because of something that row but do not know how ...

And also I should print various LineEdit not only so do not know even then how to assemble the various LineEdit because they are printed in the correct position.

If anyone has a solution thank you in advance.

I am not quite sure what you mean. I am a beginner myself but I wonder, can you first get the text from LineEdit and then send it to the printer function? Basically dividing the process into smaller steps to diagnose where the problem occurs.

#include <QDebug>
void MainWindow::on_actionPrint_triggered()
{
    // actionPrint triggered
    qDebug() << "actionPrint triggered."
 
    // instanciate new printer
    QPrinter printer;
    qDebug() << "Printer instanciated."
 
    // Set name
    printer.setPrinterName("Desired printer name");
    qDebug() << "Printer name set: " + printer.name;
 
    // Instanciate new QPrintDialog
    QPrintDialog dialog(&printer,this);
 
    // Dialog
    if(dialog.exec() == QDialog::Rejected)
    {
        qDebug() << "QDialog rejected!";
        return;
    }
 
    // get text from LineEdit
    QString toPrint = ui->lineEdit->text().toString();
    qDebug() << "LineEdit text retreived:\n" + toPrint;
 
    // Print text from LineEdit
    toPrint->print(&printer);
    qDebug() << "Text print function called.";

#include <QDebug>
void MainWindow::on_actionPrint_triggered()
{
    // actionPrint triggered
    qDebug() << "actionPrint triggered."

    // instanciate new printer
    QPrinter printer;
    qDebug() << "Printer instanciated."

    // Set name
    printer.setPrinterName("Desired printer name");
    qDebug() << "Printer name set: " + printer.name;

    // Instanciate new QPrintDialog
    QPrintDialog dialog(&printer,this);

    // Dialog
    if(dialog.exec() == QDialog::Rejected)
    {
        qDebug() << "QDialog rejected!";
        return;
    }

    // get text from LineEdit
    QString toPrint = ui->lineEdit->text().toString();
    qDebug() << "LineEdit text retreived:\n" + toPrint;

    // Print text from LineEdit
    toPrint->print(&printer);
    qDebug() << "Text print function called.";

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Maybe "QString toPrint" isn't what you should end up using in the end, you might change it to QDocument or something else, I amnot quite sure really since I have never worked with those classes. I just thought that having the qDebug telling you what is going on might help you narrow down your your problem occurs.

I have tried in many ways but nothing!
I thought of converting LineEdit in textedit and found a network code, but nn works write it below:

QString s = lineEdit->text();
QTextEdit textEdit;
textEdit.setPlainText(s);

but maybe something is missing or is that wrong.

Added after 1 29 minutes:

I solved by converting LineEdit in textedit and it works, now prints two LineEdit but though in two different pages and always to top.
How can I print LineEdit the same page and in the right position you are in the interface graphics ??

If someone politely knows how to do mail me the code. I write the code that found so far:


void MainWindow:n_actionPrint_triggered()
{
QPrinter printer;

QPrintDialog dialog(&printer, this);
if(dialog.exec() == QDialog::Rejected) return;

QString s;
QString t;

s = ui->lineEdit->text();
t = ui->lineEdit_17->text();

QTextEdit textEdit5;
QTextEdit textEdit6;

textEdit5.setPlainText(s);
textEdit6.setPlainText(t);

textEdit5.print(&printer);
textEdit6.print(&printer);

}

QPrinter is a QPaintDevice derived class, you can use QPainter to draw on it.
E.g. QPainter::drawText() to draw text.
