[Qt-interest] Bounding box of the printout of a QTextDocument

Hi, 

I'm generating a printout for a form mask containing some QLineEdit, 
QComboBox, QTextEdit and other elements. The formatted content of the 
QTextEdit is printed by QTextDocument::drawContents(). To print other elements 
right and below this text I need to know the bounding box of the printout. Is 
there way to get this information? 

Currently I'm using the bounding box from the QTextEdit::toPlainText() string, 
which is a poor workaround. 

Or is there another more elegant way to print formatted text?

Thanks
	Mathias
