In my Qt application, when the text width in the QLineEdit widget is greater than widget width, it seems QLineEdit can only display the right part of text (see below). No matter I set the widget to right alignment, or set cursor position to maxTextLength. I will have to click in the QLineEdit text box and hit Home to see the left part. Is it possible to have the left part displayed by default?
For example:
The text is "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" (26 characters), and the QLineEdit width is 11-character.
Right part displayed (pqrstuvwxyz):
[ line edit ]
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Left part displayed (abcdefghijk):
[ line edit ]
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Found the solution. Using void QLineEdit::home(bool mark).
