Detailed DescriptionThe QTextEdit class provides a widget that is used to edit and display both plain and rich text. Introduction and ConceptsQTextEdit 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. 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. If you find the HTML support insufficient for your needs you may consider the use of QtWebKit, which provides a full-featured web browser widget. 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 WidgetQTextEdit 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 for example it is often useful in a log viewer, then you can use QTextDocument's maximumBlockCount property for that. Read-only Key BindingsWhen QTextEdit is used read-only the key bindings are limited to navigation, and text may only be selected with the mouse:
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 EditorAll 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 setTextCursor(). 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 DropQTextEdit 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 BindingsThe list of key bindings which are implemented for editing:
To select (mark) text hold down the Shift key whilst pressing one of the movement keystrokes, for example, Shift+Right will select the character to the right, and Shift+Ctrl+Right will select the word to the right, etc. See also QTextDocument, QTextCursor, Application Example, Syntax Highlighter Example, and Rich Text Processing.

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:
| bool | acceptRichText() const |
| void | setAcceptRichText(bool accept) |
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:
| AutoFormatting | autoFormatting() const |
| void | setAutoFormatting(AutoFormatting features) |
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:
| int | cursorWidth() const |
| void | setCursorWidth(int width) |
document : QObject * const
Access functions:
| QTextDocument * | document() const |
documentTitle : QString
This property holds the title of the document parsed from the text.
By default, for a newly-created, empty document, this property contains an empty string.
Access functions:
| QString | documentTitle() const |
| void | setDocumentTitle(const QString & title) |
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().
By default, for a newly-created, empty document, this property contains text to describe an HTML 4.0 document with no body text.
Access functions:
| QString | toHtml() const |
| void | setHtml(const QString & text) |
Notifier signal:
| void | textChanged() |
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.
By default, this property contains a value of 0.
Access functions:
| int | lineWrapColumnOrWidth() const |
| void | setLineWrapColumnOrWidth(int w) |
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:
| LineWrapMode | lineWrapMode() const |
| void | setLineWrapMode(LineWrapMode mode) |
See also lineWrapColumnOrWidth.
overwriteMode : bool
This property holds whether text entered by the user will overwrite existing text.
As with many text editors, the text editor widget can be configured to insert or overwrite existing text with new text entered by the user.
If this property is true, existing text is overwritten, character-for-character by new text; otherwise, text is inserted at the cursor position, displacing existing text.
By default, this property is false (new text does not overwrite existing text).
This property was introduced in Qt 4.1.
Access functions:
| bool | overwriteMode() const |
| void | setOverwriteMode(bool overwrite) |
plainText : QString
This property gets and sets the text editor'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 if you call toPlainText(). The only exception to this is the non-break space, nbsp;, that will be converted into standard space.
By default, for an editor with no contents, this property contains an empty string.
This property was introduced in Qt 4.3.
Access functions:
| QString | toPlainText() const |
| void | setPlainText(const QString & text) |
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:
| bool | isReadOnly() const |
| void | setReadOnly(bool ro) |
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:
| bool | tabChangesFocus() const |
| void | setTabChangesFocus(bool b) |
tabStopWidth : int
This property holds the tab stop width in pixels.
By default, this property contains a value of 80 pixels.
This property was introduced in Qt 4.1.
Access functions:
| int | tabStopWidth() const |
| void | setTabStopWidth(int width) |
textInteractionFlags : Qt::TextInteractionFlags
Specifies how the widget should interact with user input.
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:
| Qt::TextInteractionFlags | textInteractionFlags() const |
| void | setTextInteractionFlags(Qt::TextInteractionFlags flags) |
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:
| bool | isUndoRedoEnabled() const |
| void | setUndoRedoEnabled(bool enable) |
wordWrapMode : QTextOption::WrapMode
This property holds the mode QTextEdit will use when wrapping text by words.
By default, this property is set to QTextOption::WrapAtWordBoundaryOrAnywhere.

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().
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::changeEvent(QEvent * e) [virtual protected]
Reimplemented from QWidget::changeEvent().
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]
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; }
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 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().
void QTextEdit::currentCharFormatChanged(const QTextCharFormat & f) [signal]

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().
void QTextEdit::paintEvent(QPaintEvent * event) [virtual protected]
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.
void QTextEdit::paste() [slot]
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.
To change the behavior of this function, i.e. to modify what QTextEdit can paste and how it is being pasted, reimplement the virtual canInsertFromMimeData() and insertFromMimeData() functions.
void QTextEdit::print(QPagedPaintDevice * printer) const
Convenience function to print the text edit's document to the given printer. This is equivalent to calling the print method on the document directly except that this function also supports QPrinter::Selection as print range.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.
See also QTextDocument::print().
void QTextEdit::redo() [slot]
Redoes the last operation.
If there is no operation to redo, i.e. there is no redo step in the undo/redo history, nothing happens.

Sets the font of the current format to f.
See also currentFont(), setFontPointSize(), and setFontFamily().
void QTextEdit::setDocument(QTextDocument * document)
Makes document the new document of the text editor.
Note: The editor does not take ownership of the document unless it is the document's parent object. The parent object of the provided document remains the owner of the object.
The editor does not delete the current document, even if it is a child of the editor.
See also document().
void QTextEdit::setExtraSelections(const QList<ExtraSelection> & selections)
This function allows temporarily marking certain regions in the document with a given color, specified as selections. This can be useful for example in a programming editor to mark a whole line of text with a given background color to indicate the existence of a breakpoint.
