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

[llev]

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 );

Try the following:

int docLPos = m_Edit->document()->documentLayout()->hitTest( QPointF( ptViewport.x(), ptViewport.y() ), Qt::ExactHit );

int docLPos = m_Edit->document()->documentLayout()->hitTest( QPointF( ptViewport.x(), ptViewport.y() ), Qt::ExactHit );

Thanks for the reply and my apologies for the delay in acknowledging it: the project has been suspended and I completely forgot about this pending issue.

I was aware of the hitTest() function, but I assumed it was working the same as cursorForPosition() (oh, never, never assume anything!), so I did not even tried it.

When finally answering your post, in order to give a complete reply as possible, I tried it and, lo!, it works indeed!.

So, thanks for overriding my stubborness!

While having the same pb, i tried your solution and it works like a charm thanks
