Detailed Description

The QTextEdit class provides a widget that is used to edit and display both plain and rich text.

Introduction and Concepts

QTextEdit is an advanced WYSIWYG viewer/editor supporting rich text formatting using HTML-style tags. It is optimized to handle large documents and to respond quickly to user input.

QTextEdit works on paragraphs and characters. A paragraph is a formatted string which is word-wrapped to fit into the width of the widget. By default when reading plain text, one newline signifies a paragraph. A document consists of zero or more paragraphs. The words in the paragraph are aligned in accordance with the paragraph's alignment. Paragraphs are separated by hard line breaks. Each character within a paragraph has its own attributes, for example, font and color.

QTextEdit can display images, lists and tables. If the text is too large to view within the text edit's viewport, scroll bars will appear. The text edit can load both plain text and HTML files (a subset of HTML 3.2 and 4).

If you just need to display a small piece of rich text use QLabel.

Note that we do not intend to add a full-featured web browser widget to Qt (because that would easily double Qt's size and only a few applications would benefit from it). The rich text support in Qt is designed to provide a fast, portable and efficient way to add reasonable online help facilities to applications, and to provide a basis for rich text editors.

The shape of the mouse cursor on a QTextEdit is Qt::IBeamCursor by default. It can be changed through the viewport()'s cursor property.

Using QTextEdit as a Display Widget

QTextEdit can display a large HTML subset, including tables and images.

The text is set or replaced using setHtml() which deletes any existing text and replaces it with the text passed in the setHtml() call. If you call setHtml() with legacy HTML, and then call toHtml(), the text that is returned may have different markup, but will render the same. The entire text can be deleted with clear().

Text itself can be inserted using the QTextCursor class or using the convenience functions insertHtml(), insertPlainText(), append() or paste(). QTextCursor is also able to insert complex objects like tables or lists into the document, and it deals with creating selections and applying changes to selected text.

By default the text edit wraps words at whitespace to fit within the text edit widget. The setLineWrapMode() function is used to specify the kind of line wrap you want, or NoWrap if you don't want any wrapping. Call setLineWrapMode() to set a fixed pixel width FixedPixelWidth, or character column (e.g. 80 column) FixedColumnWidth with the pixels or columns specified with setLineWrapColumnOrWidth(). If you use word wrap to the widget's width WidgetWidth, you can specify whether to break on whitespace or anywhere with setWordWrapMode().

The find() function can be used to find and select a given string within the text.

If you want to limit the total number of paragraphs in a QTextEdit, as it is for example open useful in a log viewer, then you can use QTextDocument's maximumBlockCount property for that.

Read-only Key Bindings

When QTextEdit is used read-only the key bindings are limited to navigation, and text may only be selected with the mouse:

KeypressesAction
Qt::UpArrowMoves one line up.
Qt::DownArrowMoves one line down.
Qt::LeftArrowMoves one character to the left.
Qt::RightArrowMoves one character to the right.
PageUpMoves one (viewport) page up.
PageDownMoves one (viewport) page down.
HomeMoves to the beginning of the text.
EndMoves to the end of the text.
Alt+WheelScrolls the page horizontally (the Wheel is the mouse wheel).
Ctrl+WheelZooms the text.
Ctrl+ASelects all text.

The text edit may be able to provide some meta-information. For example, the documentTitle() function will return the text from within HTML <title> tags.

Using QTextEdit as an Editor

All the information about using QTextEdit as a display widget also applies here.

The current char format's attributes are set with setFontItalic(), setFontWeight(), setFontUnderline(), setFontFamily(), setFontPointSize(), setTextColor() and setCurrentFont(). The current paragraph's alignment is set with setAlignment().

Selection of text is handled by the QTextCursor class, which provides functionality for creating selections, retrieving the text contents or deleting selections. You can retrieve the object that corresponds with the user-visible cursor using the textCursor() method. If you want to set a selection in QTextEdit just create one on a QTextCursor object and then make that cursor the visible cursor using setCursor(). The selection can be copied to the clipboard with copy(), or cut to the clipboard with cut(). The entire text can be selected using selectAll().

When the cursor is moved and the underlying formatting attributes change, the currentCharFormatChanged() signal is emitted to reflect the new attributes at the new cursor position.

QTextEdit holds a QTextDocument object which can be retrieved using the document() method. You can also set your own document object using setDocument(). QTextDocument emits a textChanged() signal if the text changes and it also provides a isModified() function which will return true if the text has been modified since it was either loaded or since the last call to setModified with false as argument. In addition it provides methods for undo and redo.

Drag and Drop

QTextEdit also supports custom drag and drop behavior. By default, QTextEdit will insert plain text, HTML and rich text when the user drops data of these MIME types onto a document. Reimplement canInsertFromMimeData() and insertFromMimeData() to add support for additional MIME types.

For example, to allow the user to drag and drop an image onto a QTextEdit, you could the implement these functions in the following way:

 bool TextEdit::canInsertFromMimeData( const QMimeData *source ) const
 {
     if (source->hasImage())
         return true;
     else
         return QTextEdit::canInsertFromMimeData(source);
 }

We add support for image MIME types by returning true. For all other MIME types, we use the default implementation.

 void TextEdit::insertFromMimeData( const QMimeData *source )
 {
     if (source->hasImage())
     {
         QImage image = qvariant_cast<QImage>(source->imageData());
         QTextCursor cursor = this->textCursor();
         QTextDocument *document = this->document();
         document->addResource(QTextDocument::ImageResource, QUrl("image"), image);
         cursor.insertImage("image");
     }
 }

We unpack the image from the QVariant held by the MIME source and insert it into the document as a resource.

Editing Key Bindings

The list of key bindings which are implemented for editing:

KeypressesAction
BackspaceDeletes the character to the left of the cursor.
DeleteDeletes the character to the right of the cursor.
Ctrl+CCopy the selected text to the clipboard.
Ctrl+InsertCopy the selected text to the clipboard.
Ctrl+KDeletes to the end of the line.
Ctrl+VPastes the clipboard text into text edit.
Shift+InsertPastes the clipboard text into text edit.
Ctrl+XDeletes the selected text and copies it to the clipboard.
Shift+DeleteDeletes the selected text and copies it to the clipboard.
Ctrl+ZUndoes the last operation.
Ctrl+YRedoes the last operation.
LeftArrowMoves the cursor one character to the left.
Ctrl+LeftArrowMoves the cursor one word to the left.
RightArrowMoves the cursor one character to the right.
Ctrl+RightArrowMoves the cursor one word to the right.
UpArrowMoves the cursor one line up.
Ctrl+UpArrowMoves the cursor one word up.
DownArrowMoves the cursor one line down.
Ctrl+Down ArrowMoves the cursor one word down.
PageUpMoves the cursor one page up.
PageDownMoves the cursor one page down.
HomeMoves the cursor to the beginning of the line.
Ctrl+HomeMoves the cursor to the beginning of the text.
EndMoves the cursor to the end of the line.
Ctrl+EndMoves the cursor to the end of the text.
Alt+WheelScrolls the page horizontally (the Wheel is the mouse wheel).

To select (mark) text hold down the Shift key whilst pressing one of the movement keystrokes, for example, Shift+Right Arrow will select the character to the right, and Shift+Ctrl+Right Arrow will select the word to the right, etc.

Property Documentation

acceptRichText : bool

This property holds whether the text edit accepts rich text insertions by the user.

When this propery is set to false text edit will accept only plain text input from the user. For example through clipboard or drag and drop.

This property's default is true.

This property was introduced in Qt 4.1.

Access functions:

autoFormatting : AutoFormatting

This property holds the enabled set of auto formatting features.

The value can be any combination of the values in the AutoFormattingFlag enum. The default is AutoNone. Choose AutoAll to enable all automatic formatting.

Currently, the only automatic formatting feature provided is AutoBulletList; future versions of Qt may offer more.

Access functions:

cursorWidth : int

This property specifies the width of the cursor in pixels. The default value is 1.

This property was introduced in Qt 4.2.

Access functions:

documentTitle : QString

This property holds the title of the document parsed from the text.

Access functions:

html : QString

This property provides an HTML interface to the text of the text edit.

toHtml() returns the text of the text edit as html.

setHtml() changes the text of the text edit. Any previous text is removed and the undo/redo history is cleared. The input text is interpreted as rich text in html format.

Note: It is the responsibility of the caller to make sure that the text is correctly decoded when a QString containing HTML is created and passed to setHtml().

Access functions:

See also Supported HTML Subset and plainText.

lineWrapColumnOrWidth : int

This property holds the position (in pixels or columns depending on the wrap mode) where text will be wrapped.

If the wrap mode is FixedPixelWidth, the value is the number of pixels from the left edge of the text edit at which text should be wrapped. If the wrap mode is FixedColumnWidth, the value is the column number (in character columns) from the left edge of the text edit at which text should be wrapped.

Access functions:

See also lineWrapMode.

lineWrapMode : LineWrapMode

This property holds the line wrap mode.

The default mode is WidgetWidth which causes words to be wrapped at the right edge of the text edit. Wrapping occurs at whitespace, keeping whole words intact. If you want wrapping to occur within words use setWordWrapMode(). If you set a wrap mode of FixedPixelWidth or FixedColumnWidth you should also call setLineWrapColumnOrWidth() with the width you want.

Access functions:

See also lineWrapColumnOrWidth.

overwriteMode : bool

This property was introduced in Qt 4.1.

Access functions:

plainText : QString

This property gets and sets the text edit's contents as plain text. Previous contents are removed and undo/redo history is reset when the property is set. If the text edit has another content type, it will not be replaced by plain text when you call toPlainText().

This property was introduced in Qt 4.3.

Access functions:

See also html.

readOnly : bool

This property holds whether the text edit is read-only.

In a read-only text edit the user can only navigate through the text and select text; modifying the text is not possible.

This property's default is false.

Access functions:

tabChangesFocus : bool

This property holds whether Tab changes focus or is accepted as input.

In some occasions text edits should not allow the user to input tabulators or change indentation using the Tab key, as this breaks the focus chain. The default is false.

Access functions:

tabStopWidth : int

This property holds the tab stop width in pixels.

This property was introduced in Qt 4.1.

Access functions:

textInteractionFlags : Qt::TextInteractionFlags

Specifies how the label should interact with user input if it displays text.

If the flags contain either Qt::LinksAccessibleByKeyboard or Qt::TextSelectableByKeyboard then the focus policy is also automatically set to Qt::ClickFocus.

The default value depends on whether the QTextEdit is read-only or editable, and whether it is a QTextBrowser or not.

This property was introduced in Qt 4.2.

Access functions:

undoRedoEnabled : bool

This property holds whether undo and redo are enabled.

Users are only able to undo or redo actions if this property is true, and if there is an action that can be undone (or redone).

Access functions:

wordWrapMode : QTextOption::WrapMode

This property holds the mode QTextEdit will use when wrapping text by words.

Access functions:

See also QTextOption::WrapMode.

bool QTextEdit::canInsertFromMimeData ( const QMimeData * source ) const   [virtual protected]

This function returns true if the contents of the MIME data object, specified by source, can be decoded and inserted into the document. It is called for example when during a drag operation the mouse enters this widget and it is necessary to determine whether it is possible to accept the drag and drop operation.

Reimplement this function to enable drag and drop support for additional MIME types.

bool QTextEdit::canPaste () const

Returns whether text can be pasted from the clipboard into the textedit.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

void QTextEdit::clear ()   [slot]

Deletes all the text in the text edit.

Note that the undo/redo history is cleared by this function.

See also cut(), setPlainText(), and setHtml().

void QTextEdit::contextMenuEvent ( QContextMenuEvent * event )   [virtual protected]

Shows the standard context menu created with createStandardContextMenu().

If you do not want the text edit to have a context menu, you can set its contextMenuPolicy to Qt::NoContextMenu. If you want to customize the context menu, reimplement this function. If you want to extend the standard context menu, reimplement this function, call createStandardContextMenu() and extend the menu returned.

Information about the event is passed in the event object.

 void MyTextEdit::contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event)
 {
     QMenu *menu = createStandardContextMenu();
     menu->addAction(tr("My Menu Item"));
     //...
     menu->exec(event->globalPos());
     delete menu;
 }

Reimplemented from QWidget.

void QTextEdit::copy ()   [slot]

Copies any selected text to the clipboard.

See also copyAvailable().

void QTextEdit::copyAvailable ( bool yes )   [signal]

This signal is emitted when text is selected or de-selected in the text edit.

When text is selected this signal will be emitted with yes set to true. If no text has been selected or if the selected text is de-selected this signal is emitted with yes set to false.

If yes is true then copy() can be used to copy the selection to the clipboard. If yes is false then copy() does nothing.

See also selectionChanged().

QMimeData * QTextEdit::createMimeDataFromSelection () const   [virtual protected]

This function returns a new MIME data object to represent the contents of the text edit's current selection. It is called when the selection needs to be encapsulated into a new QMimeData object; for example, when a drag and drop operation is started, or when data is copyied to the clipboard.

If you reimplement this function, note that the ownership of the returned QMimeData object is passed to the caller. The selection can be retrieved by using the textCursor() function.

QMenu * QTextEdit::createStandardContextMenu ()

This function creates the standard context menu which is shown when the user clicks on the line edit with the right mouse button. It is called from the default contextMenuEvent() handler. The popup menu's ownership is transferred to the caller.

Reimplement this function to enable drag and drop support for additional MIME types.

void QTextEdit::insertHtml ( const QString & text )   [slot]

Convenience slot that inserts text which is assumed to be of html formatting at the current cursor position.

It is equivalent to:

 edit->textCursor().insertHtml(fragment);

Note: When using this function with a style sheet, the style sheet will only apply to the current block in the document. In order to apply a style sheet throughout a document, use QTextDocument::setDefaultStyleSheet() instead.

void QTextEdit::insertPlainText ( const QString & text )   [slot]

Convenience slot that inserts text at the current cursor position.

It is equivalent to

 edit->textCursor().insertText(text);

QVariant QTextEdit::loadResource ( int type, const QUrl & name )   [virtual]
