[Solved] fast Textviewer

[lloydqt]

Hi,

I want to display a large binary file in textview. I have tried with QTextEdit, QPlainTextEdit, but they seems to be very slow. As in a hexviewer I have modified all the non printable characters to ".".

Is there any mechanism available in qt to improve the paining speed of a text view? (I am not cared about neat formatting or editing)

Thanks,
Lloyd

I was expecting some shortcuts :) so I have to manually manage it?

Of course you can always look for third party Qt widgets with your favorite search engine that have implemented efficient large-file-handling already :)
