[PyKDE] PyQT for QT4 ?
I expect the answer here is either no or not yet, but here goes :) Has anyone tried builting PyQT for QT4, on the off chance that large swathes work? (You never know :) Better yet, has anyone got QT4 working with Python? (I've noticed that alot of the irritations I have with the QTextEdit have been resolved in QT4, hence the query) I doubt the answer is yes, but as they say, you don't know unless you ask :) Merry Christmas, Michael. ___ PyKDE mailing listPyKDE@mats.imk.fraunhofer.de http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
[PyKDE] Solved: Re: Inserting Rich Text in a QTextEdit

When the user selects one (or types in a new page name or URL), the current section is used as the link text, and page name/URL used as the link target. If there isn't a current selection, the page name/URL is used as the link text. I suppose you could generalise this as: def insertRichText(editor, someText): if editor.hasSelectedText(): text = editor.selectedText() editor.removeSelectedText() else: text = page editor.setUpdatesEnabled( 0) q=editor.getCursorPosition() editor.append(str(someText)) paraCount = editor.paragraphs() print editor.paragraphLength(paraCount-1) editor.setSelection(paraCount-1,0,paraCount-1, editor.paragraphLength(paraCount-1)) editor.cut() editor.setCursorPosition(*q) editor.paste() editor.setUpdatesEnabled( 1) editor.updateContents() If you use a custom stylesheet, this should also mean that you can use this approach for inserting anything into the current position in the document.

[PyKDE] Inserting Rich Text in a QTextEdit
Hi, I've been using a QTextEdit for a while as a simple rich text editor, and recently been playing with various ideas and have hit a bit of a block. Essentially what I want to do is this: editor.insert(a href='+str(page)+'+str(page)+/a ) And have that rendered _and stored in the text_(*) as a hyperlink - ie the above line results in (with defaults) page being rendered underlined in blue. (*) Hence a stylesheet isn't an option here :-( Instead however what I see in the editor is this: a href='Somepage'Somepage/a (Which gets saved as lt;a href ... etc ) However, if I use this: editor.append(a href='+str(page)+'+str(page)+/a ) This is correctly interpreted as being a hyperlink, and saved as a hyperlink. The question I have really is this - is there any way round this, short of building up this behaviour from scratch doing something like: (pseudocode) if hasSelectedText t = selectedText removeSelectedText p = getCursorPosition setCursorPosition(end of text) q = getCursorPosition append(thing I want) r= setCursorPosition(end of text) setSelection(between q and r) cut setCursorPosition(p) paste ? It seems like a lot of faff ? (obviously I'd wrap that up in a function, probably called something like insertRichText(), but even so... (I'd be happy with a replace selection option instead, but I can't see that - hopefully I'm being blind :) ) Failing that, if I really have missed something and there's a much simpler way of doing this I'd really appreciate a pointer, slap round the head :) Thanks for any responses, Michael. ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde

Your arguments are (win2, self, command) - the win2 is an implicit first argument. I haven't looked through your code much, since I suspect this is the bit stumping you, but I suspect what you want is either: win2.update(command) self.update(command) I suspect the former of the 2.

The Qt included rich text editor control is not sufficient for our requirement profile, unfortunatly. What's wrong with it - what do you find is missing from it? Personally I find it a pretty useful widget.

[PyKDE] Scribbling on QTextEdit/QTextBrowser
Hi, I'm playing with PyQT under Linux at the moment... I'm wondering - is there a way of mixing _something like_ QPainter with both/either QTextEdit/QTextBrowser. The scenario I'm thinking of is scribbling notes on these as annotations. (for example running on a PDA/tablet PC2) Something similar to DHTML layers would be the ideal sort of scenario... The question I have is this - is this possible with PyQT? I've looked at the QGL overlay stuff, but this seems to be very dependent on facilities in your display system. (That wouldn't be a problem, but it appears the X-Server for my graphics card is one of the ones that doesn't support overlay!) Failing that, does anyone know of a way of anchoring something like a QPainter widget inside QTextEdit/QTextBrowser in the same way you would anchor an image ? (This might actually be a more appropriate approach IMO) Any comments/pointers very much appreciated :) Michael. ___ PyKDE mailing list[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mats.imk.fraunhofer.de/mailman/listinfo/pykde
