QValidator for QGraphicsTextItem

[arjunasd]

Hi all

I have a QGraphicsTextItem that is editable. I want to assign a validator to it when I edit the contents. I know how to do it for a QLineEdit.

can anyone guide me how to use it for QGraphicsTextItem?

Thanks
Arjun

There is no such default functionality in QGraphicsTexItem. But you can add it to it.
You'll have to work directly with the QTextDocument provided by QGraphicsTextItem::textDocument().
You can connect to QTextDocument::contentsChanged signal and do all the validation in there, either using a standard or costom QValidator.

Even i do need such a functionality in my app but busy with something else at the moment. If you are able to achieve this, can you share your idea(or if possible code) please ?

BTW currently i am validating text in the focusOutEvent() of the text item. I am not using any of QValidators for now.
Sorry , forgot to post this in my previous post
