## Member Function Documentation

### `[static]` QString QAbstractItemDelegate::elidedText(const QFontMetrics & fontMetrics, int width, Qt::TextElideMode mode, const QString & text)

Use QFontMetrics::elidedText() instead.

For example, if you have code like

    QFontMetrics fm = ...
    QString str = QAbstractItemDelegate::elidedText(fm, width, mode, text);

you can rewrite it as

    QFontMetrics fm = ...
    QString str = fm.elidedText(text, mode, width);
