selection bgcolor in editor

[user4592357]

i have an editor (a qsciscintilla subclass) and it has lexer set on it.

i want to set background color to the selection text in editor. i've tried:

m_editor->lexer()->setPaper(color);

but this sets the whole editor background to color. but what i need is to set background only to the selection. i didn't have an api to do this. please help

Hi,

QScintilla is not part of Qt, you should query the authors directly.

[huse]

m_editor->setSelectionBackgroundColor (const QColor &col) ?

[user4592357]

that just colors the selection at the moment, i need something like text highlighting

[SGaist]

So you want to customise the syntax highlighting itself ? So QsciLexer::setColor looks like what you want.

not the text color, but the background of the text
