Setting textCursor position with line and column

[titoaii]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to move the cursor of a QTextEdit to a position that is specified with line number and column. I've tried with movePosition() in the QTextCursor like this:

QTextEdit * editor;
      //Moves the cursor to the beginning of the document
      editor->textCursor().setPosition(0,QTextCursor::MoveAnchor);
      //Now moves the cursor to the line "line" and in the column "index"
      editor->textCursor().movePosition(QTextCursor::Down, QTextCursor::MoveAnchor,line-1);
      editor->textCursor().movePosition(QTextCursor::NextCharacter, QTextCursor::MoveAnchor, index);

QTextEdit * editor;
      //Moves the cursor to the beginning of the document
      editor->textCursor().setPosition(0,QTextCursor::MoveAnchor);
      //Now moves the cursor to the line "line" and in the column "index"
      editor->textCursor().movePosition(QTextCursor::Down, QTextCursor::MoveAnchor,line-1);
      editor->textCursor().movePosition(QTextCursor::NextCharacter, QTextCursor::MoveAnchor, index);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

However, the only thing I get with this is the cursor in the same position as the beginning.
Does anybody know how to achieve this??

Thank you in advance!

Use QTextCursor::NextBlock to go to the next line and you have to work with a copy of the cursor which has to be reset to to editor:

QTextCursor c = editor->textCursor();
c.movePosition(/*...*/);
editor->setCursor(c);

QTextCursor c = editor->textCursor();
c.movePosition(/*...*/);
editor->setCursor(c);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
