[Qt-interest] Search text inside QPicture

Hi,
I need ability to search for text inside eg. QPrintPreviewWidget.

In win32 it's possible to search for text inside some print preview (via WMF
or EMF - metafiles).
QPicture is "meta-file" already, so I've maded simple routine 
QPoint QPicture::findText(QPoint fromPoint, QString searchText, int frompos,
Qt::CaseSensitivity cs = Qt::CaseSensitive);
which does the job. 
It's similar to QPicture::play(), but of course with different params, 
 I've copied private exec() call into new one execfindtext () with my new
params, and removed all painter calls inside execfindtext().
So now I can "search for particular text" inside QPicture.

This  solution is definitelly "non-elegant" one (patching QPicture), but
maybe there's something else  around ?

tnx.
