QPlainTextEdit reload text

[bunjee]

Hey trolls,

I have a QPlainTextEdit.
I've load the content of a file.

Now in another editor I modify the content of that file.

Is it possible to get my QPlainTextEdit refreshed without getting my cursor / scrollbars screwed up ?

Thanks.

Solved.

// Backup settings
    int position = d->plainTextEdit->textCursor().position();
 
    int vScrollPosition = d->plainTextEdit->verticalScrollBar()->value();
    int hScrollPosition = d->plainTextEdit->horizontalScrollBar()->value();
 
    // Getting content
    QFile scriptFile(d->script->filePath());
    scriptFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
    d->plainTextEdit->setPlainText(scriptFile.readAll());
    scriptFile.close();
 
    // Restore settings
    QTextCursor cursor = d->plainTextEdit->textCursor();
    cursor.setPosition(position);
    d->plainTextEdit->setTextCursor(cursor);
 
    d->plainTextEdit->verticalScrollBar()->setValue(vScrollPosition);
    d->plainTextEdit->horizontalScrollBar()->setValue(hScrollPosition);

// Backup settings
    int position = d->plainTextEdit->textCursor().position();

    int vScrollPosition = d->plainTextEdit->verticalScrollBar()->value();
    int hScrollPosition = d->plainTextEdit->horizontalScrollBar()->value();

    // Getting content
    QFile scriptFile(d->script->filePath());
    scriptFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
    d->plainTextEdit->setPlainText(scriptFile.readAll());
    scriptFile.close();

    // Restore settings
    QTextCursor cursor = d->plainTextEdit->textCursor();
    cursor.setPosition(position);
    d->plainTextEdit->setTextCursor(cursor);

    d->plainTextEdit->verticalScrollBar()->setValue(vScrollPosition);
    d->plainTextEdit->horizontalScrollBar()->setValue(hScrollPosition);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Note: this resets the undo stack.
