    React on text changed signals or events.
    Use setHtml and replace the :-) string with some html image tags.

    hi

    Thanks for your idea..

    i have used

    QObject::connect(textEdit, SIGNAL(textChanged()), this, SLOT(changePixmap()),Qt::QueuedConnection) ;

    void CSmsWidget::changePixmap()
    {
    QString text =textEdit->toPlainText();
    if (Qt::mightBeRichText(text)){
    textEdit->setHtml(text);
    }
    }

    but this is not working.. any idea?

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you think images come out of thin air?

    replace the text :-) with something like <img source="...">

    hi

    Thanks for your reply


    void CSmsWidget::changePixmap(){
    QString text =textEdit->toPlainText();
    if (text.contains(": )")){

    QImage img(":/images/happy_smilie.png"); // todo: generate image in memory
    m_currentMsg->document()->addResource(QTextDocument::HtmlResource, QUrl("happy_smilie.png" ), img);

    text.replace("","<p><img src=\":/images/happy_smilie.png\"></p>");

    m_currentMsg->setHtml(text);

    }
    }

    This is working once again Thanks

    hi,

    In the above code if i have entered two smiley character like this "hi (first one ) Hope you are fine (second)" .
    In QTextEdit after entering the second smiley first image will get vanished.

    Is it the problem because of both the smilies refers to the same image ?

    Thanks in Advance

    You are doing that in most possible wrong way. When you have multiple smileys then strange things will happen.
    Take a look on that (QTextCursor is proper way of modifying editors/QTextDocument content):
    Qt Code:
    1. void CSmsWidget::changePixmap()
    2. {
    3. QRegExp reg(":\\)"); // you can improve regular expression
    4. QTextCursor cursor(textEdit->document()->find(reg));
    5.  
    6. if (!cursor.isNull()) {
    7. cursor.insertHtml("<img src=\":/images/happy_smilie.png\">");
    8. }
    9. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
