QTextDocument color

[bunjee]

Hey there.

I'm using a QTextDocument to display paragraphes.
Is there a way to set the "default" text color.

Thanks.

QString style = "color: rgb(%1,%2,%3);";
mTextDocument->setDefaultStyleSheet(style.arg(mColor.red()).
arg(mColor.green()).
arg(mColor.blue()));

Tried this with no success.

Shouldn't it be QString("color: %1;").arg(mColor.name()) ?

[bunjee]

Should be working with rgb :/.

What do you do with the document afterwards? Maybe it's enough to set the color in the object (widget?) used as a container for the document?

[bunjee]

Actually it's not set in a widget,
I use the TextDocument for HTML strings that are displayed by my view's paint event.

[wysota]

Why don't you add the style definition to the html manually?

[bunjee]

I was thinking doing so. I was just checking that nobody had a better solution.

And beside I'm not a big fan of Html parsing :).

You can also set a QTextFormat for each document block. Setting a pen with a colour of your choice on the painter in the paint event before painting might also help.

Unfortunately, that didn't help,

I'm still trying to figure out how I can set a default color for a QTextDocument without erasing html tags and stuff like that.

Changing the pen in the paint event has no effect.
There's got to be some convenient way to do so.
