    Default QTextEdit : adding Text at the Same Location

    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.
