[Qt-interest] problem with QTextCursor

[Keshava Krishna]

hi,
'm building a text editor that uses a text cursor.
i use the following code to open a text doucument...


void open_text()
{

   textfileName=QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,tr("Open
File"),"/home/keshava");
  QFileInfo fi(textfileName);
  QFile file(textfileName);
  if (file.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite))
  {
    QString data(file.readAll());
    if (textfileName.endsWith(".html"))
      textEditor->setHtml(data);
    else
      textEditor->setPlainText(data);
  }
  document=textEditor->document();
  textCursor = new QTextCursor(document);
 textCursor->setPosition(0);
}

now i want to get the offset position of the cursor (after i change it by
using mouse) in a dialog, so i used the following code

void  display_offset()
{
    QDialog *offset_dialog =new QDialog();
    QTextEdit *offset_text = new QTextEdit(offset_dialog);
    int i=textCursor->position();//this returns the current position
    QString *offset= new QString();
    *offset=offset->setNum(i);
    offset_text->setText(*offset);    //set the position as text in the
dialog
     offset_dialog->show();

}


but the dialog shows only 0, it does not show the changed position, if i set
the intia position as say 10 in opening function, it shows 10 itself...
is the cursor i see on the screen different(whose position can be changed
using mouse)??
can anyone help me out??

Regards,
Keshava.
