Re: [Qt-jambi-interest] Making sections of text in a QTextEdit uneditable
As far as crazy ideas go, this one is probably shooting for the top 10: I want to show the user a text edit control with a fragment of source code. Parts of that fragment are shown only as a convenience to provide context information and should not be altered by the user. So this means that there are about 1 or 2 lines at the start and at the end of the fragment which should not be editable by the user (while the middle section is fully editable). I've not even played with QTextEdit as yet, but I notice it has a cursorPositionChanged() signal and a setReadOnly() method. So how about connecting that signal to a routine that switches the widget to read only when the cursor is moved into certain areas? Or maybe less confusingly for the user, don't actually allow the cursor into those areas in the first place? ___ Qt-jambi-interest mailing list Qt-jambi-interest@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-jambi-interest
[Qt-jambi-interest] Making sections of text in a QTextEdit uneditable
Hi! As far as crazy ideas go, this one is probably shooting for the top 10: I want to show the user a text edit control with a fragment of source code.

So this means that there are about 1 or 2 lines at the start and at the end of the fragment which should not be editable by the user (while the middle section is fully editable). I have thought about separate text labels above and below the editable fragment, but I consider this to be a less elegant solution than having it all in one widget, in which the content would scroll consistently if the fragment gets longer. Is something like this possible at all (without totally reimplementing QTextEdtir, of course)? What trickery would be required to make this work?
