    Default QTextEdit with syntax highlighter

    Hello people!

    I want to know how a QTextEdit is enabled with syntax highlighting. Can anyone give me the procedure to check 'C' programming syntax in texteditor. I tried with
    Qt Code:
    1. QSyntaxHighlighter * syntaxHighlighter () const
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    but finding difficulty in using this option. Please post a reply.
    Regards

    You need to subclass QSyntaxHighlighter and override:
    QSyntaxHighlighter::highlightParagraph()
    This function is called when necessary (the given paragraph has changed).

    Just pass the text edit object to QSyntaxHighlighter's constructor. It will then install the syntax highlighter on the text edit.

    QSyntaxHighlighter::QSyntaxHighlighter(QTextEdit* textEdit):
    Constructs the QSyntaxHighlighter and installs it on textEdit.
    It is the caller's responsibility to delete the QSyntaxHighlighter when it is no longer needed.
