[SOLVED] String selected by mouse in QTextEdit

zerg2011

Hi

I need to know which text is selected in QTextEdit by user.
I mean the text selected by mouse . I.e. the text that can be copied into the clipboard.

I would to have the selected string , its length and position in text.

I'm using the foolowing code :
@
QTextEdit textViewer_ ;
QTextDocument *doc = textViewer_ . document() ;
QTextCursor crs( doc ) ;

//textViewer_ . cursorRect ()   ;

int beginPos = crs . selectionStart() ;
int endPos = crs . selectionEnd() ;
int pos = crs . position() ;

@
The result of this code :
beginPos == 0
endPos == 0
pos == 0

How I use it :
I select the chunk of text in the QTextEdit widget
then press the button which execute specified code.

Could you please advise the proper way this task solving ?

Thanks.

[edit: please use @ code tags , thanks, Eddy]

hav you tried @textViewer_.textCursor()@ to get the cursor?

you simply create a new one, so it just a logical behavior that its position is 0

Yes. It works.

I've missed that wonderful function.

Thank you very much.
