[Qt-interest] Emulating selection with offsets

[sathya tej]

Dear all,

As per Stephen's advice i wrote the following code...

            QTextDocument *document =
textEditorArray[textEditorCount]->document();
            QTextCursor *cur = new QTextCursor(document);
            QTextCursor *cur1 = new QTextCursor(document);

            QTextCharFormat plainFormat(cur->charFormat());
            QTextCharFormat colorFormat = plainFormat;
            colorFormat.setForeground(Qt::red);
            cur1->beginEditBlock();

            cur->setPosition(startOffset);
            cur->setPosition(endOffset,QTextCursor::KeepAnchor);
            cur->mergeCharFormat(colorFormat);


Problem i am facing is that, the section of code which i wanted to be
highlighted in red color, is now not appearing at all.

All those sections are now blank.

I am using Qt 4.3.4 and ubuntu 8.04.

Please help me.

Thank You.

Sathya.
