 KEdit (QWidget *_parent=NULL, const char *name=NULL)

KEdit

The usual constructor.

 ~KEdit ()

~KEdit

enum { NONE, FORWARD, BACKWARD }

Search directions.

void  insertText (QTextStream *)

insertText

Insert text from the text stream into the edit widget.

void  saveText (QTextStream *)

saveText

Save text from the edit widget to a text stream.

QString  markedText ()

markedText

Retrieve the currently marked text.

Reimplemented from QMultiLineEdit.

void  selectFont ()

selectFont

Let the user select a font and set the font of the textwidget to that selected font.

void  search ()

search

Present a search dialog to the user

bool  repeatSearch ()

repeatSearch

Repeat the last search specified on the search dialog.

If the user hasn't searched for anything until now, this method will simply return without doing anything.

Returns: true if a search was done. false if no search was done.

void  replace ()

replace

Present a Search and Replace Dialog to the user.

void  doGotoLine ()

doGotoLine

Present a "Goto Line" dialog to the user.

void  cleanWhiteSpace ()

cleanWhiteSpace

Clean up redundant whitespace from selected text.

bool  isModified ()

isModified

Returns: true if the document has been modified.

void  setModified ( bool = true)

setModified

Set the modification status of the document.

true = Modified, false = UNMODIFIED. This can be used to test whether the document needs to be saved.

void  installRBPopup ( QPopupMenu* )

installRBPopup

Install a context menu for KEdit.

The Popup Menu will be activated on a right mouse button press event.

int  currentLine ()

currentLine

Retrieve the current line number.

The current line is the line the cursor is on.

int  currentColumn ()

currentColumn

Retrieve the actual column number the cursor is on.

This call differs from QMultiLineEdit::getCursorPosition() in that it returns the actual cursor position and not the character position. Use currentLine() and currentColumn() if you want to display the current line or column in the status bar for example.

void  spellcheck_start ()

spellcheck_start

Start spellchecking mode.

void  spellcheck_stop ()

spellcheck_stop

Exit spellchecking mode.

void  setOverwriteEnabled (bool b)

setOverwriteEnabled

Allow the user to toggle between insert mode and overwrite mode with the "Insert" key. See also toggle_overwrite_signal();

The default is false: the user can not toggle.

void  gotUrlDrop (QDropEvent* e)

gotUrlDrop

[signal]

This signal is emitted if the user dropped a URL over the text editor QMultiLineEdit widget.

Note that the user can drop also Text on it, but this is already handled internally by QMultiLineEdit.

void  CursorPositionChanged ()

CursorPositionChanged

[signal]

This signal is emitted whenever the cursor position changes.

Use this in conjunction with currentLine(), currentColumn() if you need to know the cursor position.

void  toggle_overwrite_signal ()

toggle_overwrite_signal

[signal]

This signal is emitted if the user toggles from insert to overwrite mode or vice versa.

The user can do so by pressing the "Insert" button on a PC keyboard.

This feature must be activated by calling setOverwriteEnabled(true) first.
