can't get format under cursor of a QTextEdit

[dvirtz]

Hi.

I have a QTextEdit subclass coupled with a QSyntaxHighlighter. After the syntax is highlighted I try to get the char format and the text under a certain position. The text returns correctly, but the format I get seems to be the the default format and not the format I set on the highlighter at this position.
This is the code:

QString LineTextEdit::getTextAndPropertyAtPosition( const QPoint & pos, QTextCharFormat *format)
{
	QTextCursor cursor = cursorForPosition(pos);
	cursor.select(QTextCursor::WordUnderCursor);
	if (format != NULL)
	{
		*format = cursor.charFormat();
	}
	QString rc = cursor.selectedText();
	cursor.clearSelection();
	return rc;
}

QString LineTextEdit::getTextAndPropertyAtPosition( const QPoint & pos, QTextCharFormat *format)
{
	QTextCursor cursor = cursorForPosition(pos);
	cursor.select(QTextCursor::WordUnderCursor);
	if (format != NULL)
	{
		*format = cursor.charFormat();
	}
	QString rc = cursor.selectedText();
	cursor.clearSelection();
	return rc;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
