how to set a text in line edit Qt Creator?

I am working in c++ Qt Creator. I have a form with labels and lineEdits. I would like to set as default in each lineEdit a text. It would be more efficient than writing the same stuff each time I run the application. Can you please tell me how to do this?

When you double click in the UI designer on the QTextEdit you can enter a default text which is set every time your application is run.

Alternate you can set the text using setText(QString) function in the constructor of your window.

Qt has a concept of properties, and for each property, there's usually a getter and a setter, in your case "Text" (as also displayed in the designer) -> void setText(QString), QString text().

As a serious advice: Learn to use the excellent documentation. Nearly everything in QtCreator lets you open a context-sensitive help via F1. And read some introductions;

Read thorugh the documentation.
Why not just set it to your default value at start? Would be the easiest way if you know how to set a textedit to a value anyhow.

hope this helps, tell me if you need aything more

Use 

void setText( const QString & )

You can set it in the constructor or maybe set all those defaults in an init() function.
