    Default QTextCursor - setTextColor()

    I've ported my Simple Telnet Client (called Dalamud) from QT3 to QT4.

    Before adding new features (see my previuos post)
    I want to correct one bad behaviuor.

    I've a QTextEdit to display Telnet Ouput , I want it clickable for selecting text, but this way a click changes cursor position for inserting new text (insertPlainText()).
    So I recoded the function for displaying output to reposition the cursor at the end of the document before inserting new Text.
    It works, but I've got a very bad side-effect. Text seems to get One Color and never changes it even if another function calls setTextColor()...

    Probably you need some code to help me better, I don't know how if it's better to choose some lines of code or to attach all the sources.
    Now I try the first option...

    The Output - QTextEdit
    Qt Code:
    1. OutText::OutText(QWidget * parent): QTextEdit(parent)
    2. {
    3. setSizePolicy(QSizePolicy::Expanding,QSizePolicy::Expanding);
    4. //Settaggio Font
    5. QFont Font=currentFont();
    6. Font.setFamily("Courier New");
    7. setCurrentFont(Font);
    8. //Settaggio dei Colori
    9. QPalette Pal;
    10. Pal=palette();
    11. Pal.setColor(QPalette::Base,Qt::black);
    12. setPalette(Pal);
    13. // setPaper(QBrush("black"));
    14. setTextColor(Qt::green);
    15. insertPlainText("STIKAZZI");
    16. setTextColor(Qt::white);
    17. insertPlainText("!");
    18. setReadOnly(TRUE);
    19. }
    20.  
    21. void OutText::writeIn(QString str)
    22. {
    23. QTextCursor Cursor=textCursor();
    24. Cursor.setPosition(document()->toPlainText().length());
    25. setTextCursor(Cursor);
    26.  
    27. insertPlainText(str);
    28. QScrollBar* Vbar;
    29. Vbar=verticalScrollBar();
    30. Vbar->setValue(Vbar->maximum());
    31. }

    The slot that would change Text Color (it's on the parent class of OutText, the instance of OutText it's called OutT)

    Qt Code:
    1. void MainDialog::changeColor()
    2. {
    3. QColor NewColor;
    4. if (Telnet.Color.high)
    5. {
    6. switch(Telnet.Color.foreground)
    7. {
    8. case Foreground::BLACK:
    9. NewColor=Qt::gray;
    10. break;
    11. case Foreground::RED:
    12. NewColor=Qt::red;
    13. break;
    14. case Foreground::GREEN:
    15. NewColor=Qt::green;
    16. break;
    17. case Foreground::YELLOW:
    18. NewColor=Qt::yellow;
    19. break;
    20. case Foreground::BLUE:
    21. NewColor=Qt::blue;
    22. break;
    23. case Foreground::MAGENTA:
    24. NewColor=Qt::magenta;
    25. break;
    26. case Foreground::CYAN:
    27. NewColor=Qt::cyan;
    28. break;
    29. case Foreground::WHITE:
    30. NewColor=Qt::white;
    31. break;
    32. }
    33. }
    34. else
    35. {
    36. switch(Telnet.Color.foreground)
    37. {
    38. case Foreground::BLACK:
    39. NewColor=Qt::black;
    40. break;
    41. case Foreground::RED:
    42. NewColor=Qt::darkRed;
    43. break;
    44. case Foreground::GREEN:
    45. NewColor=Qt::darkGreen;
    46. break;
    47. case Foreground::YELLOW:
    48. NewColor=Qt::darkYellow;
    49. break;
    50. case Foreground::BLUE:
    51. NewColor=Qt::darkBlue;
    52. break;
    53. case Foreground::MAGENTA:
    54. NewColor=Qt::darkMagenta;
    55. break;
    56. case Foreground::CYAN:
    57. NewColor=Qt::darkCyan;
    58. break;
    59. case Foreground::WHITE:
    60. NewColor=Qt::lightGray;
    61. break;
    62. }
    63. }
    64. OutT.setTextColor(NewColor);
    65. }
