Restoring cursor position in QTextEdit

[s.toonen]

Hi people,

I am trying to save to current cursor position, which i want to restore later on. It seems that restoring does not update the actual cursor. Here is a code snippet:

// in constuctor
pTextCursor = new QTextCursor(this->document());
 
void CCodeWidgetText::saveCursor()
    {
       this->cursorPos = this->pTextCursor->position();
    }
 
    void CCodeWidgetText::restoreCursor()
    {
      pTextCursor->setPosition(this->cursorPos, QTextCursor::MoveAnchor);
      //this->setTextCursor(*pTextCursor);
    }

// in constuctor
pTextCursor = new QTextCursor(this->document());

void CCodeWidgetText::saveCursor()
    {
       this->cursorPos = this->pTextCursor->position();
    }
    
    void CCodeWidgetText::restoreCursor()
    {
      pTextCursor->setPosition(this->cursorPos, QTextCursor::MoveAnchor);
      //this->setTextCursor(*pTextCursor);
    }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Before this I tried to save the whole QTextCursor object and later on restore it, but that didn't seem to work either. Can someone help me out?

Thanks in advance

// pTextCursor = new QTextCursor(this->document()); // forget this
 
void CCodeWidgetText::saveCursor()
    {
       this->cursorPos = this->textCursor().position();
    }
 
    void CCodeWidgetText::restoreCursor()
    {
       QTextCursor cursor = this->textCursor();
       cursor.setPosition(this->cursorPos, QTextCursor::MoveAnchor);
       this->setTextCursor(cursor);
    }

// pTextCursor = new QTextCursor(this->document()); // forget this

void CCodeWidgetText::saveCursor()
    {
       this->cursorPos = this->textCursor().position();
    }

    void CCodeWidgetText::restoreCursor()
    {
       QTextCursor cursor = this->textCursor();
       cursor.setPosition(this->cursorPos, QTextCursor::MoveAnchor);
       this->setTextCursor(cursor);
    }
