    I haven't been able to find anything in the forums about this, so I decided I'd give posting a discussion a shot.

    My question: Is it possible to create a button inside a QTextEdit or QPlainTextEdit widget, say with an image that has been embedded in the text?

    What I'm looking to do is to embed an image (or use a region of text) in the widget and respond to mouse events with it, i.e., hovering and clicking, and use those events to perform actions.

    Thanks for your help!

        Thanks for the reply. But, unfortunately, I haven't seen anything in the documentation regarding a button like event. Any other thoughts?

          Umm.... "QWebPage?":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qwebpage.html#details
          Never took a deep look at it, but I'd imagine they'd use html buttons. Theres a few hits for "button" on that page. Also, apparently it allows for text editing.

            Have you tried giving the text edit a layout, and then simply adding the widget to the layout?
