[SOLVED] How to add Word-Wrapping to a QPushButton

I'm working on a Qt project and I have a QPushButton on which I'd like to allow word wrapping:
I know I can change it to a QLabel, but due to the specific purpose of the application, it needs to be clickable (so I think that means it must be a QPushButton). I've searched around online a bit and the only solution I've been able to find is "inheriting." However, I can't seem to figure out how to do it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

I don't think that is possible, as it is against QPushButton's intended design.
However, you could easily derive a class from QLabel and overload the
virtual void QWidget::keyPressEvent ( QKeyEvent * event )
function or install an event filer (http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/eventsandfilters.html)
on a "plain" QLabel to do the exactly same.

How Can I Word-wrap a Value?

How can I force a selection in a drop-down menu to word-wrap in the value portion of an object? I can achieve my desired result in the caption portion by increasing the height of the object. However, when I increase the size of the object, the value portion does not wrap.

Are you sure that a drop down menu is the best option for what you're doing? Maybe another Object type would suit your purposes better--like radio buttons.
Anyway, You can edit the XML source and add a CDATA tag around the items in your list. So, if you have a drop down list with {Something really long goes here, Something else really long here, And another really long thing} as your options, click on the XML Source tab.
Add
<![CDATA[Something really long
goes here]]>
Now, this will break the line as you're wanting to do, but it's going to cause a different problem--The list of items was originally selected by the first, second, and third lines in the dropdown list. They still are. So, you have 6 different lines, and only the first three can select something. If you're just wanting to have a dropdown that the user selects to read a list and not to select something, then this is probably ok. If you want the user to select an item, then this is a terrible idea.
If your lines are just a little bit too long to fit, you can set the value's font to "0" Then it will shrink and expand the font size to fit the largest selection. Two notes, the dropdown arrow will cover the last bit of the line, and there is a limit to how small it can get.

How to add words from a JTextField to a JList

Im working on my final project for Java programming class using JApplet.
Im trying to create a spelling test/wordfind
I want to be able to have the user type a word in the JtextField press the "Add" button (Jbutton) and have the word be added to the JList.
then click the "Start" Button and have the all the words from the JList be put in random stops in a panel and fill around all the words with random letters.
then when the user clicks on the letter of the words they are finding it will change colors if they click on it again it will change back to its original color.
So far I have my layout set up its adding the proper Listeners and events to achieve the desired results.
I know this is way more advanced than what My Instructor is even teacher but I am very interested in Java and want to learn a lot more about it.
If anyone has suggestions or know where i can find the information Im looking for please let me know.
Thanks

Read the first posting titled "Welcome to the new home" to learn how to use code tags. Then you can edit your posting so the code is formatted and readable.
I want to be able to have the user type a word in the JtextField press the "Add" button (Jbutton) and have the word be added to the JList.Read the JList API and follow the link to the Swing tutoral on "How to Use Lists" where you will find a working example.
So far I have my layout Actually you haven't. You should learn how to use layout managers. Again the Swing tutorial explains what layout managers are and provides working example of using them.
I am very interested in Java and want to learn a lot more about it.A great place to start is by read tutorials because they always contain working example. Here are some [url http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/]Java tutorrial.

Reason enough IMO. But anyway... you refer to the Traditional build method in the wiki, but is it possible you didn't really read it? Or maybe you only skimmed it? Did you run make menuconfig? Did you try to build everything in instead of using modules? That mkinitcpio output suggests that you did.
As suggested there for first-timers, it's a good idea to start with a kernel configuration that is known to work - the Arch config is the obvious choice, but there are other sources e.g. http://kernel-seeds.org/ .

[SOLVED]How to add multiple gateways in Arch

Hi, can someone please advise how to add multiple gateway address for multiple interfaces.
In my case I have two wired LAN cards. I use Arch network daemon to manage my NIC's.
I know in Gentoo it could be done through : 'gateway_ethX=( "default gw xx.xx.xx.xx dev ethX" )'
but doing so in arch wont connect to router/gateway.
Also in rc.conf it says :
# Routes to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each route then list in ROUTES
# - prefix an entry in ROUTES with a ! to disable it
How to declare each route, and then how to list it in ROUTES?
I read the following thread:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=52992, but after adding the suggested lines in rc.conf and restarting the network it fails and says hostname not found.
Thanks.

In that case, your routing table should look something like this:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth1
rc.conf:
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.14 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
# You may need to add 'dev eth1' to the end of this after '.1.1'
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)

[SOLVED]How to add OAL driver level functionality in the AM335x BSP source code???

Dear developers,
Greetings!!!
As, my platform is WinCE 7 with AM335x BSP and I would like to copy one driver and update the driver as per my requirements. The location from where I have taken the existing driver is -
BSP\SRC\CSP\COMMON_TI_AMXX\OAL --
Existing diver is OALRTC and new driver is abc_I2C under the same location and I have tailored the driver according to my requirements.

You should be able to just add a space in your prompt. Can you post the prompt you have now?
Have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
The prompt goes between the ' ' - the last two characters are $ and a space. Try doing something similar.

[SOLVED] How to add files to iso file for Live USB ?

I created a Live USB by dd command of the dual iso. Now I want to write a shell script to collect commands I need during installation process. Since dd command writes from sector to sector on the USB drive, it is not editable. How can I add my shell script to be available when booting by the arch Live USB ?

Sorry for inappropriate posting. This is an advanced customization, but I need a simple manual approach to add my shell script to the iso archive.

It is an audio cd, I'm playing around with EAC (I know, I know, there are good native replacements).
If I open the 'drives' tab in winecfg and try 'autodetect' it doesn't list my drive. If I try to add it manually I have to navigate to it but cdda doesn't exist anywhere for me to navigate to.

It is now solved. I installed extensions from here . These extensions make available gnome 2 features in gnome 3 by using native gnome 3 code and not by making to fall back to gnome 2. But these extensions doesn't have one feature i am looking for , which is launchers. For that only i found was to install gnome-panel. Which is a gnome2 thing. Unfortunately i couldn't find any gnome 3 things that would do this. So i installed gnome-panel which contains gnome-desktop-item-edit file. Then i ran the following to create a launcher :
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop
But the problem is that the site says it might break with gnome 3 updates.

It is the next screen Pick the command, click OK. It then throws up a box telling you to press the key combination. It will show as you push meta, shift and control modifiers. When you hit a character that generates a keystroke, it saves it, along with the modifiers.
