QTextEdit : adding Text at the Same Location

[Saptarshi4031]

I am writing an application for Extraction of file.
The text Editor is supposed to show File Name and amount of data extracted .
This is How it should look :

File Name :x
Time Start :

Completed <var> % of ConstantSize

The variable var is continually varied .

QTextCursor cursor(TEXT->textCursor())
pos=cursor.position();
TEXT->setTEXTCursor(cursor);
TEXT->setText(var);

However Each Time The Text is written it is clearing up the screen.
I have tried insertPlaintext. That is appending.

Inputs appreciated..

You are not doin anything with the cursor.
You create a copy of the cursor from the document, you read the position (but don't do with it anything), and then set the cursor back as it was.

What you want is:
1. get the correct position of the text you want to replace
2. select it .
3. use QTextCursor::insertText() to overwrite the old (now selected) value

That is one way.
There are others way as well.

See QTextCursor for more details, they have example code in there too.

Sorri I missed one line to which you were referring,

QTextCursor cursor(TEXT->textCursor())
pos=cursor.position();
cursor.setPosition(pos,cursor.MoveAnchor);
TEXT->setTEXTCursor(cursor);
TEXT->setText(var);

Ok, but if you read my post you see that its not the only problem.
Try what I suggested.
