Methods

The following are the methods provided by the QLabel class:

• setText(): This method assigns text to the Label widget
• setPixmap(): This method assigns pixmap, an instance of the QPixmap class, to the Label widget
• setNum(): This method assigns an integer or double value to the Label widget
• clear(): This method clears text from the Label widget

The default text of QLabel is TextLabel. That is, when you add a QLabel class to a form by dragging a Label widget and dropping it on the form, it will display TextLabel. Besides using setText(), you can also assign text to a selected QLabel object by setting its text property in the Property Editor window.
