Hi all, I am using QTextEdit to display log text files, just like the Unix command tail -f. My current implementation just displays the last 5 lines and then follows the growing log file, displaying lines as they come. Now, I am asked to make QTextEdit display the whole file when the user opens a file. A log file can be very large. I tested it with a 2mbyte file, and inserting data to QTextEdit caused the GUI to freeze for almost 1 minute. This is not acceptable, and I am looking for a solution. I have the following questions:
-) what is the fastest way to insert lots of text into QTextEdit? -) should I go to the route of implementing my own QTextDisplay? If so, should I use QAbstractScrollArea as class base? Any pointer to how to use it? Thanks in advance, JM _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
