check box unchecked should undo action?

[kja]

Hi,
I think I'm missing something easy. I have a slot that is called when a checkbox is checked. It makes the text in a textEdit become right justified. I want the text to be sent back to the left when I uncheck the box, How do I do that?

I have tried using all the different signals for qcheckbox

this is my code

connect(checkAxis, SIGNAL(pressed()), this, SLOT(setAxis()));
 
void MyWidget::setAxis(){
  QTextCursor cursorArea = textedit->textCursor();
  QTextBlockFormat textblock = cursorArea.blockFormat();
  textblock.setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
  cursorArea.setBlockFormat(textblock);
}

connect(checkAxis, SIGNAL(pressed()), this, SLOT(setAxis()));

void MyWidget::setAxis(){
  QTextCursor cursorArea = textedit->textCursor();
  QTextBlockFormat textblock = cursorArea.blockFormat();
  textblock.setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
  cursorArea.setBlockFormat(textblock);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I also tried making a second slot that is the same as setAxis, just it aligns left, and connect it with released, but that didn't work either.

connect(checkAxis, SIGNAL(released()), this, SLOT(setAxisBack()));

connect(checkAxis, SIGNAL(released()), this, SLOT(setAxisBack()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Thanks
