Adding 'Next' and 'Previous' functionality to search engine

amban

Hi,
Following this example here http://doc.qt.nokia.com/main-snapshot/uitools-textfinder.html to find matching strings. Now I have added a 'Next' and 'Previous' button to choose one searched result at a time. Can anyone point out Qt code to achieve this. I am not sure how to proceed.

Thanks

Probably you should elaborate a little more what you are trying to achieve.
The textfinder example is pretty obvious, but that is apparently not your question.

Hi,
What i want to achieve is that once all the searched strings have been highlighted (as in textfinder example), I want to use keys 'p' and 'n' to browse through the selected strings . Something like using 'n' key to browse through results in vi grep command.

Thanks

Did you try adding a [[Doc:QAction]] with a shortcut and connect that to a slot?

This is the solution. Add two new buttons, connect them to slots and to the same as in find, only that you use the current cursor position as start position.
