Member Function Documentation

QTextEdit::​QTextEdit(QWidget * parent = 0)

Constructs an empty QTextEdit with parent parent.

QTextEdit::​QTextEdit(const QString & text, QWidget * parent = 0)

Constructs a QTextEdit with parent parent. The text edit will display the text text. The text is interpreted as html.

[virtual] QTextEdit::​~QTextEdit()

Destructor.

Qt::Alignment QTextEdit::​alignment() const

Returns the alignment of the current paragraph.

See also setAlignment().

QString QTextEdit::​anchorAt(const QPoint & pos) const

Returns the reference of the anchor at position pos, or an empty string if no anchor exists at that point.

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

Appends a new paragraph with text to the end of the text edit.

Note: The new paragraph appended will have the same character format and block format as the current paragraph, determined by the position of the cursor.

See also currentCharFormat() and QTextCursor::blockFormat().

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

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.

[virtual protected] void QTextEdit::​changeEvent(QEvent * e)

Reimplemented from QWidget::changeEvent().

[slot] void QTextEdit::​clear()

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().

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

Reimplemented from QWidget::contextMenuEvent().

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;
}

[slot] void QTextEdit::​copy()

Copies any selected text to the clipboard.

See also copyAvailable().

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

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().

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

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 copied 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 text edit with the right mouse button. It is called from the default contextMenuEvent() handler. The popup menu's ownership is transferred to the caller.

We recommend that you use the createStandardContextMenu(QPoint) version instead which will enable the actions that are sensitive to where the user clicked.

QMenu * QTextEdit::​createStandardContextMenu(const QPoint & position)

This function creates the standard context menu which is shown when the user clicks on the text edit with the right mouse button. It is called from the default contextMenuEvent() handler and it takes the position of where the mouse click was. This can enable actions that are sensitive to the position where the user clicked. The popup menu's ownership is transferred to the caller.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.4.

QTextCharFormat QTextEdit::​currentCharFormat() const

Returns the char format that is used when inserting new text.

See also setCurrentCharFormat().

[signal] void QTextEdit::​currentCharFormatChanged(const QTextCharFormat & f)

This signal is emitted if the current character format has changed, for example caused by a change of the cursor position.

The new format is f.

See also setCurrentCharFormat().

QFont QTextEdit::​currentFont() const

Returns the font of the current format.

See also setCurrentFont(), setFontFamily(), and setFontPointSize().

QTextCursor QTextEdit::​cursorForPosition(const QPoint & pos) const

[signal] void QTextEdit::​cursorPositionChanged()

This signal is emitted whenever the position of the cursor changed.

QRect QTextEdit::​cursorRect(const QTextCursor & cursor) const

returns a rectangle (in viewport coordinates) that includes the cursor.

QRect QTextEdit::​cursorRect() const

returns a rectangle (in viewport coordinates) that includes the cursor of the text edit.

[slot] void QTextEdit::​cut()

bool QTextEdit::​find(const QRegExp & exp, QTextDocument::FindFlags options = 0)

This is an overloaded function.

Finds the next occurrence, matching the regular expression, exp, using the given options. The QTextDocument::FindCaseSensitively option is ignored for this overload, use QRegExp::caseSensitivity instead.

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

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

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.

See also QTextDocument::loadResource().

void QTextEdit::​mergeCurrentCharFormat(const QTextCharFormat & modifier)

Merges the properties specified in modifier into the current character format by calling QTextCursor::mergeCharFormat on the editor's cursor. If the editor has a selection then the properties of modifier are directly applied to the selection.

If mode is QTextCursor::KeepAnchor, the cursor selects the text it moves over. This is the same effect that the user achieves when they hold down the Shift key and move the cursor with the cursor keys.

This function was introduced in Qt 4.2.

See also QTextCursor::movePosition().

[virtual protected] void QTextEdit::​paintEvent(QPaintEvent * event)

Reimplemented from QWidget::paintEvent().

This event handler can be reimplemented in a subclass to receive paint events passed in event. It is usually unnecessary to reimplement this function in a subclass of QTextEdit.

Warning: The underlying text document must not be modified from within a reimplementation of this function.

[slot] void QTextEdit::​paste()

Pastes the text from the clipboard into the text edit at the current cursor position.

If there is no text in the clipboard nothing happens.
