How to get column number in qtextedit?


I can get the line number of a cursor in a QTextEdit. but can't achieve to get the column number information. (Note: I use QTextBlock while getting line number info.) Isn't there an easy way to obtain column number? What should i do? Although i read here and here, QTextBlock class is still confusing me.


Solution

  • This is my solution to the problem:

    QTextCursor cursor = ui.textEdit->textCursor();
    int y = cursor.blockNumber() + 1;
    int x = cursor.columnNumber() + 1;
