QTextEdit format

[Oumayma]

When adding these functions to my text editor, they don't work unless I have text selected. It is possible to add these text formatting functions from where the cursor is and have them apply to the text that is typed next.

//Metodo triggered de Negrita:
void MainWindow::on_actionNegrita_triggered(){

  ui->textEdit->setFontWeight(QFont::Bold);


}
//Metodo triggered de cursiva:
void MainWindow::on_actionCursiva_triggered()
{
   ui->textEdit->setFontItalic(true);
}

//Metodo triggered de subrayado:
void MainWindow::on_actionSubrayado_triggered()
{
    ui->textEdit->setFontUnderline(true);
}

I thought these would change the font for the whole QTextEdit, but I don't know.

To change areas, selections or what you type, did you try manipulating the QTextCursor and set it via QTextEdit::setTextCursor(const QTextCursor &cursor)?

Hi, I have tried with QTextCursor and QTextcharFormat, and it doesn't work. I pass code tested:

//Metodo triggered de Negrita:
void MainWindow::on_actionNegrita_triggered(){
  QTextCursor cursor = ui->textEdit->textCursor();
  format.setFontWeight(QFont::Bold);
  cursor.mergeCharFormat(format);
  ui->textEdit->setTextCursor(cursor);

}

I have tested both your original calls and the new QTextCursor ones. I find that both do work, contrary to your statements? In both cases:

• if any text is selected that text becomes bold/italic/whatever; and then
• regardless of whether text was selected, new text I type in is bold/italic/whatever

Ubuntu 20.04, Qt 5.12.

This is the version I have of Qt, my version is superior ¿I should I have yours? :

It only works for me if I select the text. With new text it doesn't work for me, which is what I need.

Hi,

As noted in the About box: these are the informations about Qt Creator itself. You need to provide the information about the Kit / Qt version you are using to build your application.

This is the kit I use to run my application. Is this what you mean?:
