The Alignment is a Paragraph Propertiy then QtextEdit::setAlignment set Alignment of the current Paragrah
Try with


QTextOption options = mainText->document()->defaultTextOption();
options.setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
mainText->document()->setDefaultTextOption(options);


For TreeWidget you have to use QTreeWidgetItem::setTextAlignment() for all items in the tree.

QApplication::setLayoutDirection(Qt::RightToLeft);

This affects all visible text on Application (menu, Title Bar, ...).
I don't think mismael85 needs this

Well, he said that he wants tree nodes to appear from right to left. Adjusting alignment doesn't affect tree nodes. ;) Of course one can also change the layout direction of a single widget with QWidget::setLayoutDirection(), but does it make sense if the layout direction of the rest of the application is different? To me it sounds like a quite confusing UI design at least.

You are right.
I hope that mismael85 intends set Text Alignment.

thank you all every thing works fine now.
first for the text alignment int the QTextEdit i wrote the following code and the result was
perfect


QTextOption options = mainText->document()->defaultTextOption();
options.setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
mainText->document()->setDefaultTextOption(options);

and mcosta was right on this
and for jpn i used your code and it also was nice the tree nodes became from
left to right but it does no thing for the text int the QTextEdit so i used both codes.
thank you all.
