QTextEdit align

[mero]

Hello,

I have QTextEdit with:

mainTextEdit->append(strContent);
 
    // align
    if (strAlign == "center")
        mainTextEdit->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
    else
        mainTextEdit->setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft);

mainTextEdit->append(strContent);

    // align
    if (strAlign == "center")
        mainTextEdit->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
    else
        mainTextEdit->setAlignment(Qt::AlignLeft);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and everythink is ok,
but if I select by mouse text with align center and I add next text - text aligned center will be aligned left ....

(Qt::AlignCenter | Qt::AlignAbsolute) is not working..

setAligment should work only to last block not to text selected by mouse ...
any suggestion ?

hi,
i hav tried with a similar example, the alignments are working fine.

setAligment should work only to last block not to text selected by mouse

for me , with mouse selection of text blocks, the alignment is still in centre only.

read documentation QTextEdit::setAlignment

Sets the alignment of the current paragraph to a. Valid alignments are Qt::AlignLeft, Qt::AlignRight, Qt::AlignJustify and Qt::AlignCenter (which centers horizontally).

Current paragraph is where cursor is. By default when cursor is not set cursor is treated as set to end of document.
append method ignores current cursor so you have incoherency in code.

so you have incoherency in code.

Go lower. Update content of QTextDocument (QTextEdit::document) using QTextCursor.

QTextCursor cursor(ui->lineEdit->document());
cursor.movePosition(QTextCursor::End);
 
cursor.insertBlock(textBlockFormatInUse);
// OR
// cursor.insertBlock();
// cursor.mergeBlockFormat(alignBlockFormat);
 
cursor.insertText("New text to insert");

QTextCursor cursor(ui->lineEdit->document());
cursor.movePosition(QTextCursor::End);

cursor.insertBlock(textBlockFormatInUse);
// OR
// cursor.insertBlock();
// cursor.mergeBlockFormat(alignBlockFormat);

cursor.insertText("New text to insert");
