Remove extra space around QLabel

I tried stylesheets with 

padding:0px, 
text-ident:0px; 
margin:0px; 
border: none;

And through code, changing the Size Policy to Expanding.

The layout inside the widget which has the label has

QHBoxLayout* lyt = new QHBoxLayout();
setLayout(lyt);
lyt->setContentsMargins(0,0,0,0);

And setting contents margins to 0 in the parent widget too.

The only way i got to make it smaller was setting Fixed size to less of the size. But the text has the word wrap property on, so it can be bigger and i cannot control that.

What should i do?

I already found out what was happening. The margins and all the stuff was working.

enter image description here

The problem was related to the borders. The top and bottom borders are 5 px height. If you set a border height, no matter which margins or padding you have, it will be a barrier for the contents. I´ll create another post to see what happens here, if there is another way to fix this, and override the positions of the borders.

Thanks!

If you want to remove the extra spacing, then you can try the following on your layout. It worked for me.

lyt->setMargin( 0 );
lyt->setSpacing( 0 );

If you want to reduce the size of a particular QLabel, then you can set:

QLabel *myLabel = new QLabel( this );
myLabel->setMaximumWidth( MAX_WIDTH );
