QLabel "break" word if too long

Question

are there ways to allow QLabel breaks words if those words are too long? I've seen

q_label->setWordWrap(true)

but it works with spaces, but if a single word is too long, then it will overflow...
I would like something like word-break: break-all for web development

I've also seen QTextDocument but it does not allow to have a fixed width and a not-fixed height

Answer 1

Just put Zero-width space between each char

from PySide2 import QtWidgets

app = QtWidgets.QApplication()
label = QtWidgets.QLabel()
text = "TheBrownFoxJumpedOverTheLazyDog"
label.setWordWrap(True)
label.setText("\u200b".join(text))  # The magic is here.
label.show()
app.exec_()

Or you can write your own QLabel

from PySide2 import QtWidgets


class HumanLabel(QtWidgets.QLabel):
    def __init__(self, text: str = "", parent: QtWidgets.QWidget = None):
        super().__init__("\u200b".join(text), parent)
        self.setWordWrap(True)

    def setText(self, arg__1: str) -> None:
        super().setText("\u200b".join(arg__1))

    def text(self) -> str:
        return super().text().replace("\u200b", "")


app = QtWidgets.QApplication()
text = "TheBrownFoxJumpedOverTheLazyDog"
label = HumanLabel(text)
assert label.text() == text
label.show()
app.exec_()
