[Qt-interest] Change default background color for search results (QPlainTextEdit)

[NoRulez]

But the problem is, that if I merge the char format
(find_cursor.mergeCharFormat(format)), then I can’t remove the format if I
search for a different text

 

Best Regards

Oops, forgot to mention you need to set the text cursor again at the end:

 

setTextCursor(cursor);

Maybe something like this:

 

QTextCursor find_cursor = document()->find(search_string,textCursor());

QTextCharFormat format(find_cursor.charFormat());

format.setBackground(QBrush(Qt::green);

find_cursor.mergeCharFormat(format);

 

I've used something like this to highlight specific words in a class which
inherits QPlainTextEdit.

 

Hope it helps,

Cheers

Hi,

 

if I use „QPlainTextEdit::find(searchText, searchFlags)” then the search
results have a gray background.

Is there a simple way to tell QPlainTextEdit, to use an alternative color,
such as green, orange, yellow, ...

 

Thanks in advance
