Adding bullet points to a QTextEdit?

[A Former User]

Is there a way to turn a set of selected paragraphs into bullet points and vice versa? I'd like to be able to add bullet points to my custom rich text editor.

To create a list from existing paragraphs:

//QTextListFormat::Style style = QTextListFormat::ListStyleUndefined;
//QTextListFormat::Style style = QTextListFormat::ListDecimal;
QTextListFormat::Style style = QTextListFormat::ListDisc;

QTextCursor cursor = textEdit->textCursor();
QTextListFormat listFormat;
listFormat.setStyle( style );
cursor.createList( listFormat );

The cursor retrieved from the text edit contains a selection. The format is applied to this selection.

To reset a list to plain text:

QTextCursor cursor = textEdit->textCursor();
QTextList *list = cursor.currentList();
if( list ) {
    QTextListFormat listFormat;
    listFormat.setIndent( 0 );
    listFormat.setStyle( style );
    list->setFormat( listFormat );

    for( int i = list->count() - 1; i >= 0 ; --i )
        list->removeItem( i );
}

Thanks Volker, I'll put that in and see what comes out.

Yep, works perfectly!
