Insert a character with predefinite settings

Martinuccia_96

Hi, everyone:
I would like to insert into a textEdit block a character with some predefinite characteristics, like the family font, the size, the color. I've used the following solution:

QFont fnt;
QTextCharFormat chF;
QTextCursor c= ui->textEdit->textCursor();
QColor color2= QColor(0, 0, 255, 127);
ui->textEdit->setTextColor(color2);
fnt.setFamily("Comic Sans MS");
fnt.setBold(true);
fnt.setItalic(true);
fnt.setUnderline(true);
fnt.setPointSizeF(12);
chF.setFont(fnt);
c.insertText("X",chF);

but it doesn't insert the character X with the color that i've chosen.
Can you suggest me another solution, please?

Hi,

What version of Qt ?
In what platform ?
Can you show what you get ?
Can you provide a minimal compilable example that shows that behavior ?

Hi
Use
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextformat.html#setForeground
instead of
ui->textEdit->setTextColor(color2);
then
chF.setForeground(color2);
