Restoring cursor position in QTextEdit

[s.toonen]

Hi people,

I am trying to save to current cursor position, which i want to restore later on. It seems that restoring does not update the actual cursor. Here is a code snippet:


// in constuctor
pTextCursor = new QTextCursor(this->document());

void CCodeWidgetText::saveCursor()
{
this->cursorPos = this->pTextCursor->position();
}

void CCodeWidgetText::restoreCursor()
{
pTextCursor->setPosition(this->cursorPos, QTextCursor::MoveAnchor);
//this->setTextCursor(*pTextCursor);
}


Before this I tried to save the whole QTextCursor object and later on restore it, but that didn't seem to work either. Can someone help me out?

Thanks in advance

// pTextCursor = new QTextCursor(this->document()); // forget this

void CCodeWidgetText::saveCursor()
{
this->cursorPos = this->textCursor().position();
}

void CCodeWidgetText::restoreCursor()
{
QTextCursor cursor = this->textCursor();
cursor.setPosition(this->cursorPos, QTextCursor::MoveAnchor);
this->setTextCursor(cursor);
}
