How to make QLabel expand width geometry to accommodate text

Question

I currently have a QLabel that has some text in it. However when I put some text in it that exceeds its geometrical width then that extra text is not displayed. I do not want to enable wordwrap since I want the QLabel to expand horizontally. Is there anyway that Qlabel could increase its geometrical width based on its content.

Have you tried appropriate size policy for the label like expanding or minimum expanding? — Drake Guan, Dec 09 '13 at 02:44

Call QWidget::adjustSize() everytime you change the content of your label. I can't elaborate on other possible answers due to lack of information, but that will probably do the trick.
