QTextEdit align right.

[bunjee]

Hello,

I'm trying to achieve this in a QTextEdit.



Any idea ?

Compile and test this as an example:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        QApplication app(argc, argv);
        QTextEdit edit;
        edit.setText("blablabla");
        edit.setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
        edit.show();
        return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        QApplication app(argc, argv);
        QTextEdit edit;
        edit.setText("blablabla");
        edit.setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
        edit.show();
        return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Actually, there's a slight difference:
[html]
______________
| saddsadsa|
| asdds|
| dfds|
|_____________|
[/html]
vs.
[html]
______________
| saddsadsa|
| asdds |
| dfds |
|_____________|
[/html]
You can do the latter with the help of tables:

#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QTextEdit edit;
    QTextTableFormat format;
    format.setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
    QTextFrame* frame = edit.textCursor().insertTable(1, 1, format);
    QTextCursor cursor(frame);
    cursor.insertText("saddsadsa\nasdds\ndfds");
    edit.show();
    return a.exec();
}

#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    QTextEdit edit;
    QTextTableFormat format;
    format.setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
    QTextFrame* frame = edit.textCursor().insertTable(1, 1, format);
    QTextCursor cursor(frame);
    cursor.insertText("saddsadsa\nasdds\ndfds");
    edit.show();
    return a.exec();
}

Or use a horizontal layout with a spacer that will push your text edit widget to the right.

Man, that was tough.

I found absolutely no way to do it with a layout:

I needed a stretchable QParagraph with height for width justified on the right.
I had to reimplement my own widget to place it manually.

The layout wouldn't let me put a stretchable area that let the paragraph take as much space as it can.

Here is the result:



Ask me if you need some code.

But what exactly is your goal?
