Creating simple text editor from the eamples code

[overcast]

I'm trying to create simple text editor using the QT.I have created simple one with menus now i want to add some functionality to improve it like these:

1.Add tabs at bottom to allow user to open multiple files

2.Syntax highlight

3.Line counting colum & Line highlight when cursor is pressed on line

is there anyway i can do this?

Also when text editor from the sample eample created it shows blank window at the left top of the winow.How can i change that icon to display something else,is it possible to change that?

1.Add tabs at bottom to allow user to open multiple files
U can use QTabWidget for this.


2.Syntax highlight
Refer to syntax highlighter demo in Qt Demos


3.Line counting colum & Line highlight when cursor is pressed on line

not sure of this right now... :(

Problems i have :

Number 1:

Number 2:
The notepad has some space for the icons for the cut/copy/paste,below it i want to add the tabtoolbar? How can i do that?
