Example code :

you could use a QLabel also…depending if you want to be able to edit.

Thanks Eddy, I’ll have a play.

Sorry to be a total noob but what I am trying to do is to load in the content from a .txt file that will contain code and display it in my program.

And I am not sure sure what kind of textbox should I use because I want to keep all the tabs and code structure, also with the example by Eddy how would I put that content into the text box?

Thank you

A QTextBrowser with a fixed size font would be a good start. To set the contents of a file to the text box, you can use:

You will have to add error checking (file open may fail).

Thank you Volker it worked wonders, I got another question if you don’t mind.
How would I load in another .txt file into the same text box just below the text that I loaded in from the precious file? Because I want to combine multiple text files into one textbox.
Thank you

In that case just replace setPlainText(content) with append(content).

Once again Volker thank you very much for your help!
