      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.

        Vote the answer(s) that helped you to solve your issue(s)

          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.
