Detailed Description

The QTextCursor class offers an API to access and modify QTextDocuments.

Text cursors are objects that are used to access and modify the contents and underlying structure of text documents via a programming interface that mimics the behavior of a cursor in a text editor. QTextCursor contains information about both the cursor's position within a QTextDocument and any selection that it has made.

QTextCursor is modeled on the way a text cursor behaves in a text editor, providing a programmatic means of performing standard actions through the user interface. A document can be thought of as a single string of characters with the cursor's position() being between any two characters (or at the very beginning or very end of the document). Documents can also contain tables, lists, images, and other objects in addition to text but, from the developer's point of view, the document can be treated as one long string. Some portions of that string can be considered to lie within particular blocks (e.g. paragraphs), or within a table's cell, or a list's item, or other structural elements. When we refer to "current character" we mean the character immediately after the cursor position() in the document; similarly the "current block" is the block that contains the cursor position().

A QTextCursor also has an anchor() position. The text that is between the anchor() and the position() is the selection. If anchor() == position() there is no selection.

The cursor position can be changed programmatically using setPosition() and movePosition(); the latter can also be used to select text. For selections see selectionStart(), selectionEnd(), hasSelection(), clearSelection(), and removeSelectedText().

If the position() is at the start of a block atBlockStart() returns true; and if it is at the end of a block atBlockEnd() returns true. The format of the current character is returned by charFormat(), and the format of the current block is returned by blockFormat().

Formatting can be applied to the current character (the character immedately after position()) using applyCharFormatModifier(), and to the current block (the block that contains position()) using setBlockFormat() and applyBlockFormatModifier(). The text at the current character position can be turned into a list using createList().

Deletions can be achieved using deleteChar(), deletePreviousChar(), and removeSelectedText().

Text strings can be inserted into the document with the insertText() function, blocks (representing new paragraphs) can be inserted with insertBlock().

Existing fragments of text can be inserted with insertFragment() but, if you want to insert pieces of text in various formats, it is usually still easier to use insertText() and supply a character format.

Various types of higher-level structure can also be inserted into the document with the cursor:

  • Lists are ordered sequences of block elements that are decorated with bullet points or symbols. These are inserted in a specified format with insertList().
  • Tables are inserted with the insertTable() function, and can be given an optional format. These contain an array of cells that can be traversed using the cursor.
  • Inline images are inserted with insertImage(). The image to be used can be specified in an image format, or by name.
  • Frames are inserted by calling insertFrame() with a specified format.

Actions can be grouped (i.e. treated as a single action for undo/redo) using beginEditBlock() and endEditBlock().

Cursor movements are limited to valid cursor positions. In Latin writing this is usually after every character in the text. In some other writing systems cursor movements are limited to "clusters" (e.g. a syllable in Devanagari, or a base letter plus diacritics). Functions such as movePosition() and deleteChar() limit cursor movement to these valid positions.

QTextTable * QTextCursor::insertTable ( int rows, int columns, const QTextTableFormat & format )

Creates a new table with the given number of rows and columns in the specified format, inserts it at the current cursor position() in the document, and returns the table object. The cursor is moved to the beginning of the first cell.

There must be at least one row and one column in the table.

See also currentTable().

QTextTable * QTextCursor::insertTable ( int rows, int columns )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Creates a new table with the given number of rows and columns, inserts it at the current cursor position() in the document, and returns the table object. The cursor is moved to the beginning of the first cell.

There must be at least one row and one column in the table.

See also currentTable().

void QTextCursor::insertText ( const QString & text )

Inserts text at the current position, using the current character format.

If there is a selection, the selection is deleted and replaced by text, for example:

    cursor.clearSelection();
    cursor.movePosition(QTextCursor::NextWord, QTextCursor::KeepAnchor);
    cursor.insertText("Hello World");

This clears any existing selection, selects the word at the cursor (i.e. from position() forward), and replaces the selection with the phrase "Hello World".

Any ASCII linefeed characters (\n) in the inserted text are transformed into unicode block separators, corresponding to insertBlock() calls.

See also charFormat() and hasSelection().

void QTextCursor::insertText ( const QString & text, const QTextCharFormat & format )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Inserts text at the current position with the given format.

bool QTextCursor::isCopyOf ( const QTextCursor & other ) const

Returns true if this cursor and other are copies of each other, i.e. one of them was created as a copy of the other and neither has moved since. This is much stricter than equality.

See also operator=() and operator==().

bool QTextCursor::isNull () const

Returns true if the cursor is null; otherwise returns false. A null cursor is created by the default constructor.

void QTextCursor::joinPreviousEditBlock ()

Like beginEditBlock() indicates the start of a block of editing operations that should appear as a single operation for undo/redo. However unlike beginEditBlock() it does not start a new block but reverses the previous call to endEditBlock() and therefore makes following operations part of the previous edit block created.

For example:

    QTextCursor cursor(textDocument);
    cursor.beginEditBlock();
    cursor.insertText("Hello");
    cursor.insertText("World");
    cursor.endEditBlock();

    ...

    cursor.joinPreviousEditBlock();
    cursor.insertText("Hey");
    cursor.endEditBlock();

    textDocument->undo();

The call to undo() will cause all three insertions to be undone.

See also beginEditBlock() and endEditBlock().

void QTextCursor::mergeBlockCharFormat ( const QTextCharFormat & modifier )

Modifies the block char format of the current block (or all blocks that are contained in the selection) with the block format specified by modifier.

See also setBlockCharFormat().

void QTextCursor::mergeBlockFormat ( const QTextBlockFormat & modifier )

Modifies the block format of the current block (or all blocks that are contained in the selection) with the block format specified by modifier.

See also setBlockFormat().

void QTextCursor::mergeCharFormat ( const QTextCharFormat & modifier )

Applies all the properties set in modifier to all the character formats that are part of the selection. Does nothing if the cursor does not have a selection.

See also hasSelection().

bool QTextCursor::movePosition ( MoveOperation op, MoveMode mode = MoveAnchor, int n = 1 )

Moves the cursor in accordance with the MoveOperation op, using MoveMode mode. The move is performed n (default 1) times.

If mode is 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.

int QTextCursor::position () const

Returns the absolute position of the cursor within the document. The cursor is positioned between characters.

See also setPosition(), movePosition(), and anchor().

void QTextCursor::removeSelectedText ()

If there is a selection, its content is deleted; otherwise does nothing.

See also hasSelection().

void QTextCursor::select ( SelectionType selection )

Selects text in the document according to the given selection.

void QTextCursor::selectedTableCells ( int * firstRow, int * numRows, int * firstColumn, int * numColumns ) const

If the selection spans over table cells, firstRow is populated with the number of the first row in the selection, firstColumn with the number of the first column in the selection, and numRows and numColumns with the number of rows and columns in the selection. If the selection does not span any table cells the results are harmless but undefined.

QString QTextCursor::selectedText () const

Returns the current selection's text (which may be empty). This only returns the text, with no rich text formatting information. If you want a document fragment (i.e. formatted rich text) use selection() instead.

QTextDocumentFragment QTextCursor::selection () const

Returns the current selection (which may be empty) with all its formatting information. If you just want the selected text (i.e. plain text) use selectedText() instead.

int QTextCursor::selectionEnd () const

Returns the end of the selection or position() if the cursor doesn't have a selection.

See also selectionStart(), position(), and anchor().

int QTextCursor::selectionStart () const

Returns the start of the selection or position() if the cursor doesn't have a selection.

See also selectionEnd(), position(), and anchor().

void QTextCursor::setBlockCharFormat ( const QTextCharFormat & format )

Sets the block char format of the current block (or all blocks that are contained in the selection) to format.

See also blockCharFormat().

void QTextCursor::setBlockFormat ( const QTextBlockFormat & format )

Sets the block format of the current block (or all blocks that are contained in the selection) to format.

See also blockFormat().

void QTextCursor::setCharFormat ( const QTextCharFormat & format )

Set the character format to the given format for the current selection. Does nothing if the cursor does not have a selection.

See also charFormat() and hasSelection().

void QTextCursor::setPosition ( int pos, MoveMode m = MoveAnchor )

Moves the cursor to the absolute position in the document specified by pos using a MoveMode specified by m. The cursor is positioned between characters.

See also position(), movePosition(), and anchor().

bool QTextCursor::operator!= ( const QTextCursor & other ) const

Returns true if the other cursor is at a different position in the document as this cursor; otherwise returns false.

bool QTextCursor::operator< ( const QTextCursor & other ) const

Returns true if the other cursor is positioned later in the document than this cursor; otherwise returns false.

bool QTextCursor::operator<= ( const QTextCursor & other ) const

Returns true if the other cursor is positioned later or at the same position in the document as this cursor; otherwise returns false.
