Detailed Description

The QMultiLineEdit widget is a simple editor for inputting text.

The QMultiLineEdit widget provides multiple line text input and display. It is intended for moderate amounts of text. There are no arbitrary limitations, but if you try to handle megabytes of data, performance will suffer.

This widget can be used to display text by calling setReadOnly(TRUE)

The default key bindings are described in keyPressEvent(); they cannot be customized except by inheriting the class.

Member Function Documentation

void QMultiLineEdit::append ( const QString & s ) [slot]

Appends s to the text.

void QMultiLineEdit::backspace () [virtual protected]

Deletes the character on the left side of the text cursor and moves the cursor one position to the left. If a text has been marked by the user (e.g. by clicking and dragging) the cursor is put at the beginning of the marked text and the marked text is removed.

See also: del().

void QMultiLineEdit::clear () [slot]

Removes all text.

void QMultiLineEdit::copy () const [slot]

Copies the marked text to the clipboard. Will only copy if echoMode() is Normal.

void QMultiLineEdit::cursorDown ( bool mark=FALSE ) [virtual protected]

Moves the cursor one line down. If mark is TRUE, the text is marked.

See also: cursorDown(), cursorLeft() and cursorRight().

void QMultiLineEdit::cursorLeft ( bool mark=FALSE, bool wrap = TRUE ) [virtual protected]

Moves the cursor one character to the left. If mark is TRUE, the text is marked. If wrap is TRUE, the cursor moves to the end of the previous line if it is placed at the beginning of the current line.

See also: cursorRight(), cursorUp() and cursorDown().

QPoint QMultiLineEdit::cursorPoint () const [protected]

Returns the top center point where the cursor is drawn.

void QMultiLineEdit::cursorRight ( bool mark=FALSE, bool wrap = TRUE ) [virtual protected]

Moves the cursor one character to the right. If mark is TRUE, the text is marked. If wrap is TRUE, the cursor moves to the beginning of the next line if it is placed at the end of the current line.

See also: cursorLeft(), cursorUp() and cursorDown().

void QMultiLineEdit::cursorUp ( bool mark=FALSE ) [virtual protected]

Moves the cursor up one line. If mark is TRUE, the text is marked.

See also: cursorDown(), cursorLeft() and cursorRight().

void QMultiLineEdit::cut () [slot]

Copies the selected text to the clipboard and deletes the selected text.

void QMultiLineEdit::del () [virtual protected]

Deletes the character on the right side of the text cursor. If a text has been marked by the user (e.g. by clicking and dragging) the cursor is put at the beginning of the marked text and the marked text is removed.

See also: backspace().

void QMultiLineEdit::deselect () [slot]

Deselects all text (i.e. removes marking) and leaves the cursor at the current position.

void QMultiLineEdit::dragLeaveEvent ( QDragLeaveEvent * ) [virtual protected]

Handles drag leave events, cancelling any auto-scrolling.

Reimplemented from QWidget.

void QMultiLineEdit::dragMoveEvent ( QDragMoveEvent * event ) [virtual protected]

Handles drag motion events, accepting text and positioning the cursor.

Reimplemented from QWidget.

void QMultiLineEdit::dropEvent ( QDropEvent * event ) [virtual protected]

Handles drop events, pasting text.

Reimplemented from QWidget.

void QMultiLineEdit::end ( bool mark=FALSE ) [virtual protected]

Moves the text cursor to the right end of the line. If mark is TRUE text is marked towards the last position. If it is FALSE and the cursor is moved, all marked text is unmarked.

See also: home().

void QMultiLineEdit::focusInEvent ( QFocusEvent * ) [virtual protected]

Starts the cursor blinking.

Reimplemented from QWidget.

void QMultiLineEdit::focusOutEvent ( QFocusEvent * ) [virtual protected]

stops the cursor blinking.

Reimplemented from QWidget.

bool QMultiLineEdit::getMarkedRegion ( int * line1, int * col1, int * line2, int * col2 ) const [protected]

If there is marked text, sets line1, col1, line2 and col2 to the start and end of the marked region and returns TRUE. Returns FALSE if there is no marked text.

QString * QMultiLineEdit::getString ( int line ) const [protected]

Returns a pointer to the text at line line.

bool QMultiLineEdit::hasMarkedText () const [protected]

Returns TRUE if there is marked text.

void QMultiLineEdit::home ( bool mark=FALSE ) [virtual protected]

Moves the text cursor to the left end of the line. If mark is TRUE, text is marked towards the first position. If it is FALSE and the cursor is moved, all marked text is unmarked.

See also: end().

Inserts s at the current cursor position.

void QMultiLineEdit::insert ( const QString & str, bool mark ) [virtual protected]

Inserts c at the current cursor position.

void QMultiLineEdit::insertChar ( QChar c ) [protected]

Inserts c at the current cursor position. (this function is provided for backward compatibility - it simply calls insert()).

void QMultiLineEdit::keyPressEvent ( QKeyEvent * e ) [virtual protected]

The key press event handler converts a key press to some line editor action.

Here are the default key bindings when isReadOnly() is FALSE:
