QTextEdit does not show!!!!

[MarkoSan]

Hi again to all!

I have a code:

void CMerchandizeBrowser::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event)
{
    Q_UNUSED(event);
    QPainter painter(this);
    painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing, false);
    painter.drawImage(QPoint(0,0), d->buffer);
 
    // shows merchandize info: name, price, descriptions
    painter.setPen(Qt::white);    // sets white pen's color
    painter.setBrush(Qt::NoBrush);    // sets brush
    //p.drawRect(merchandizeDescriptionRect);
    painter.setFont(QFont("Arial", 12));    // sets test font
    QFontMetrics fm(painter.font());    // sets up font metrcis
    QRectF computedRec(merchandizeDescriptionRect);
/*
    painter.drawText(computedRec, Qt::AlignLeft, getMerchandizeName(m_ImagesList.at(m_iSelected).text(strKeyImagePathName)));
*/
    painter.drawText(computedRec, Qt::AlignLeft, getMerchandizeName(d->slideImages.at(currentSlide()).text(strKeyImagePathName)));
    // appends "euro" sing at the end of the price
    QString priceString(getMerchandizePrice(d->slideImages.at(currentSlide()).text(strKeyImagePathName)));
    priceString=priceString.append(" EUR");
    painter.drawText(computedRec, Qt::AlignRight, priceString);
    // shows merchandize description
    QTextEdit merchandizeDescription(getMerchandizeDescription((qint16)currentSlide()), this);    // new instance of qtextedit
    merchandizeDescription.show();    // shows constucted text
}

void CMerchandizeBrowser::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event)
{
    Q_UNUSED(event);
    QPainter painter(this);
    painter.setRenderHint(QPainter::Antialiasing, false);
    painter.drawImage(QPoint(0,0), d->buffer);
  
    // shows merchandize info: name, price, descriptions
    painter.setPen(Qt::white);    // sets white pen's color
    painter.setBrush(Qt::NoBrush);    // sets brush
    //p.drawRect(merchandizeDescriptionRect);
    painter.setFont(QFont("Arial", 12));    // sets test font
    QFontMetrics fm(painter.font());    // sets up font metrcis
    QRectF computedRec(merchandizeDescriptionRect);
/*
    painter.drawText(computedRec, Qt::AlignLeft, getMerchandizeName(m_ImagesList.at(m_iSelected).text(strKeyImagePathName)));
*/
    painter.drawText(computedRec, Qt::AlignLeft, getMerchandizeName(d->slideImages.at(currentSlide()).text(strKeyImagePathName)));
    // appends "euro" sing at the end of the price
    QString priceString(getMerchandizePrice(d->slideImages.at(currentSlide()).text(strKeyImagePathName)));
    priceString=priceString.append(" EUR");
    painter.drawText(computedRec, Qt::AlignRight, priceString);
    // shows merchandize description
    QTextEdit merchandizeDescription(getMerchandizeDescription((qint16)currentSlide()), this);    // new instance of qtextedit
    merchandizeDescription.show();    // shows constucted text
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And QTextEdit is not shown? Can someone help me out, please?

You create QTextEdit on the stack and it immediately goes out of scope, so you don't have a chance to see it. Also paintEvent() isn't the best place to create widgets.
