[Qt-interest] KeyPressEvent hinders eidting the QTextEdit

[Eric Clark]

Sujan,

Have you looked into using the QSyntaxHighlighter class to do this? Highlighting text while the user edits it is exactly what it is designed to do.

Thanks,
Eric

Dear Friend
I have a QTextEdit I want to capture the KeyPressEvent and take each of the text user enters through keyboard. Late I want to change the color of those text. But when I  reimplement  KeyPressEvent() my text edit becomes choked means I am not able to edit anything. Why this is happening I want to be able to write text in the editor. Any suggestion would be highly appreciated. Thanks sujan

Check the code snippet

void CTextEditor::keyPressEvent ( QKeyEvent * e )
{
        setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
        QString text = e->text();
        tree->hlighter->highlightBlock(text);
}

void CTextEditor::keyPressEvent ( QKeyEvent * e )
{
        setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
        QString text = e->text();
        tree->hlighter->highlightBlock(text);
}

Just because  I reimplemented KeyPressEvent I am not able to enter anything in the editor. Please give some suggestions.


Kind Regards,
