Qt Creator (Designer): Single text line with horizontal scrollbar

Question

How do I get a single text line with only a horizontal scollbar?

I think that's all there is to this question.

I've tried it with QLineEdit only or withing QScrollArea, with QTextEdit etc, and nothing was remotly close to working properly.

That's what I got so far:

It total it reads "Textexample", but the QLineEdit cuts it off and the QScrollArea doesn't provide a functional horizontal scrollbar.

In the end I'd like to have a single text line, with a horizontal scrollbar so with the scrollbar I can see everything that's inside the text line.

Thanks in advance. If more information is need, I'd be happy to help.

Can you please add a minimal reproducible example (as code) to your question to make your efforts visible and reproducible for us? THX :-) — R Yoda, Dec 01 '19 at 16:29
since I work with the qt creator designer i can only provide you with html code :/ — Cpt. Crazy, Dec 01 '19 at 16:33
Fair point :-) Did you try to set the `horizontalScrollBarPolicy` property of the `QTextEdit` to `ScrollBarAlwaysOn` — R Yoda, Dec 01 '19 at 16:38
@RYoda So if I had programmed everything with the creator itself, I coudl've just modified it with a single line in the code, but I can't find the option in the designer to do that and I don't think I can modify it in any other way :/ — Cpt. Crazy, Dec 01 '19 at 16:51
@Cpt.Crazy he told about replacing `QLineEdit` by `QTextEdit` — Vladimir Bershov, Dec 01 '19 at 16:56
I am confused. Without seeing your Object inspector it is difficult to say what's the problem... See may screen shot in the answer... — R Yoda, Dec 01 '19 at 16:56
Thanks. I was an idiot and looked into the `QLineEdit` options and not `QTextEdit`, my bad :D But now that i changed it, it works perfectly :) — Cpt. Crazy, Dec 01 '19 at 17:02
