QTextEdit::cursorForPosition() and character at mouse pointer?

[GrayOwl]

Try the following:

// m_Edit - QTextEdit object
// ptViewport - mouse position in viewport coordinates
// docLPos - position of character under mouse
int docLPos = m_Edit->document()->documentLayout()->hitTest( QPointF( ptViewport.x(), ptViewport.y() ), Qt::ExactHit );

// m_Edit - QTextEdit object
// ptViewport - mouse position in viewport coordinates
// docLPos - position of character under mouse
int docLPos = m_Edit->document()->documentLayout()->hitTest( QPointF( ptViewport.x(), ptViewport.y() ), Qt::ExactHit );
