Highlighting search

[dvillalobos]

Hi all,

I want to know how can I highlight a text like Qt Creator does when is searching text. When I search text I can see a border arround the text and a yellow background, how can I reproduce it in my app.

What component do you use to store and display the text? If you are using QLabel or another widget the easiest way to change the background is using a "style sheet":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qwidget.html#styleSheet-prop.

Hi Leon,

Thanks for your reply. This is what I need: when you search text in Qt Creator, the found text is sorrunded by a frame and the background color turns to yellow, that is the behavoir I need to implement.

I use QTextDocument.
