How to create a valid and "usable" QTextFrameFormat

@Nixxer
hmm so it dont like format1.
Only thing that spring to mind is the cursor thing. but firstCursorPosition should be fine too?If we look at sample code:
QTextEdit *editor = new QTextEdit; QTextCursor cursor(editor->textCursor()); cursor.movePosition(QTextCursor::Start); QTextFrame *topFrame = cursor.currentFrame(); QTextFrameFormat topFrameFormat = topFrame->frameFormat(); topFrameFormat.setPadding(16); topFrame->setFrameFormat(topFrameFormat); ... QTextCharFormat boldFormat; boldFormat.setFontWeight(QFont::Bold); cursor.insertText("A company", boldFormat);It looks like yours alot.

One thing that differs is that i declare all my variables in the stack, while the example declares them in the heap, but i hope that all that works in the heap should work also in the stack and vice-versa...My intention was to make a QTextDocument, put in this a QTextFrame, put a text in it with a QTextCursor, create a QTextFrameFormat to be applied to the QTextFrame...

minimal sample that works for me
QTextEdit *editor = new QTextEdit;
QTextCursor cursor(editor->textCursor());
cursor.movePosition(QTextCursor::Start);
QTextFrame *topFrame = cursor.currentFrame();
QTextFrameFormat topFrameFormat = topFrame->frameFormat();
topFrameFormat.setPadding(16);
topFrame->setFrameFormat(topFrameFormat);
cursor.insertBlock();
cursor.insertText("321 City Street"); -

One thing I wondered:
The sample does not new / create a QTextDocument as far as I can see.
I wonder if it is needed to do , or I simply don't understand what you want to do :)@mrjj
I'll try this snippet, maybe I'll learn something...I begin with the QTextDocument because I'd like to make a program to make documents, like a list of properties of a client, so I thought that I could make a QTextDocument in which inserting one after one these properties with different frames and their ...
Maybe I took the problem by the wrong way...
Btw, I was thinking to make this program as a exercise to begin to "mess" with Qt...

Hi,
In that case, I'd recommend the excellent "C++ GUI Programming with Qt 4 (2nd Edition)" from Mark Summerfield and Jasmin Blanchette. Although it's Qt 4, it still relevant for Qt 5 and there's a good chapter about QTextDocument

Like a database with clients and their properties ?
Depending on your coding skills, construction a RTF doc on the fly is maybe a somewhat hardcore start :) -

It's right, but I prefer to learn starting from "real" problems (I'm an self-taught "programmer")...@Nixxer
Well thats really understandable. More fun when it's real.
I can only second SGaist book suggestion.
I found it free on

(takes a moment to load)Good luck
