Use Qt Creator's text editor widget?

My application relies on a text editing facility (with syntax highlighting, code folding, bookmarks, etc.). At the moment, I am using QScintilla, but looking at the text editor in Qt Creator, I am wondering whether it wouldn't be better for me to use Qt Creator's text editor widget instead (main reason: stick to 'proper' Qt widgets).

So, I was wondering whether someone has ever had a go at re-using Qt Creator's text editor widget in their own program? If so, what has been your experience? What advice would you have? Etc.

Cheers, Alan.

I'm wondering the same thing right now. What did you decide on doing? Are you still using QScintilla or have you incorporated the Qt Creator's text editor into your program.

Shameless plug - http://code.google.com/p/qtedit4/wiki/QtSourceView

I am working on such component, and looking for developers

Well done elcuco! That looks very nice and promising. Good luck with finding some developers. I, for one, don't have time to help, sorry.

It looked too complicated at that time to rip it out, and since QScintialla was crashing quite often (and not supporting international characters), we want to using a really basic editor instead. But thanks for the thread rezz, I'll look at QtSourceView.
