Member Function Documentation

◆ setDescription()

void AzQtComponents::ElidingLabel::setDescription ( const QString &  description)

Sets the description for this label. The description is shown in the label's tooltip, either on its own or alongside the full text in case of elision.

◆ setFilter()

void AzQtComponents::ElidingLabel::setFilter ( const QString &  filter)

Set the label's filter string. If the filter string is a substring of the current text, it will appear highlighted in the label. Used in conjunction with search filters to highlight results.

◆ TextMatchesFilter()

bool AzQtComponents::ElidingLabel::TextMatchesFilter ( ) const

Returns if the label text matches the current filter string. If no filter string has been set, returns true.
