Detailed Description

A KDE'ified QTextEdit.

This is just a little subclass of QTextEdit, implementing some standard KDE features, like cursor auto-hiding, configurable wheelscrolling (fast-scroll or zoom), spell checking and deleting of entire words with Ctrl-Backspace or Ctrl-Delete.

This text edit provides two ways of spell checking: background checking, which will mark incorrectly spelled words red, and a spell check dialog, which lets the user check and correct all incorrectly spelled words.

Basic rule: whenever you want to use QTextEdit, use KTextEdit!

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KTextEdit::KTextEdit ( const QString &  text,
QWidget *  parent = 0 
) [explicit]

Constructs a KTextEdit object.

See QTextEdit::QTextEdit for details.

Definition at line 205 of file ktextedit.cpp.

KTextEdit::KTextEdit ( QWidget *  parent = 0  )  [explicit]

Constructs a KTextEdit object.

See QTextEdit::QTextEdit for details.

Definition at line 211 of file ktextedit.cpp.

KTextEdit::~KTextEdit (  ) 

Destroys the KTextEdit object.

Definition at line 217 of file ktextedit.cpp.


Member Function Documentation

void KTextEdit::checkSpelling (  )  [slot]

Create a modal dialog to check the spelling.

This slot will not return until spell checking has been completed.

Definition at line 505 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::checkSpellingChanged ( bool   )  [signal]

emit signal when we activate or not autospellchecking

Since:
4.1

bool KTextEdit::checkSpellingEnabled (  )  const

Returns true if background spell checking is enabled for this text edit.

Note that it even returns true if this is a read-only KTextEdit, where spell checking is actually disabled. By default spell checking is disabled.

See also:
setCheckSpellingEnabled()

Definition at line 468 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::contextMenuEvent ( QContextMenuEvent *  event  )  [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented from QTextEdit to add spelling related items when appropriate.

Reimplemented from QTextEdit.

Definition at line 404 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::createHighlighter (  )  [virtual]

Allows to create a specific highlighter if reimplemented.

By default, it creates a normal highlighter, based on the config file given to setSpellCheckingConfigFileName().

This highlighter is set each time spell checking is toggled on by calling setCheckSpellingEnabled(), but can later be overridden by calling setHighlighter().

See also:
setHighlighter()

highlighter()

setSpellCheckingConfigFileName()

Definition at line 420 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::deleteWordBack (  )  [protected, virtual]

Deletes a word backwards from the current cursor position, if available.

Definition at line 326 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::deleteWordForward (  )  [protected, virtual]

Deletes a word forwards from the current cursor position, if available.

Definition at line 334 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::enableFindReplace ( bool  enabled  ) 

Enable find replace action.

Since:
4.1

Definition at line 698 of file ktextedit.cpp.

bool KTextEdit::event ( QEvent *  ev  )  [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented to catch "delete word" shortcut events.

Definition at line 232 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::focusInEvent ( QFocusEvent *  event  )  [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented to instantiate a KDictSpellingHighlighter, if spellchecking is enabled.

Definition at line 460 of file ktextedit.cpp.

Sonnet::Highlighter * KTextEdit::highlighter (  )  const

Returns the current highlighter, which is 0 if spell checking is disabled.

The default highlighter is the one created by createHighlighter(), but might be overridden by setHighlighter().

See also:
setHighlighter()

createHighlighter()

Definition at line 425 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::highlightWord ( int  length,
int  pos 
)

Selects the characters at the specified position.

Any previous selection will be lost. The cursor is moved to the first character of the new selection.

Parameters:
length The length of the selection, in number of characters
pos The position of the first character of the selection

Definition at line 538 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::keyPressEvent ( QKeyEvent *  event  )  [protected, virtual]

Reimplemented for internal reasons.

Reimplemented in KRichTextEdit.

Definition at line 748 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::languageChanged ( const QString &  language  )  [signal]

Emitted when the user changes the language in the spellcheck dialog shown by checkSpelling().

Parameters:
language the new language the user selected
Since:
4.1

QMenu * KTextEdit::mousePopupMenu (  ) 

Return standard KTextEdit popupMenu.

Since:
4.1

Definition at line 342 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::replace (  )  [slot]

Create replace dialogbox.

Since:
4.1

Definition at line 547 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::setCheckSpellingEnabled ( bool  check  ) 

Turns background spell checking for this text edit on or off.

Note that spell checking is only available in read-writable KTextEdits.

Enabling spell checking will set back the current highlighter to the one returned by createHighlighter().

See also:
checkSpellingEnabled()

isReadOnly()

setReadOnly()

Definition at line 436 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::setHighlighter ( Sonnet::Highlighter *  _highLighter  ) 

Sets a custom backgound spell highlighter for this text edit.

Normally, the highlighter returned by createHighlighter() will be used to detect and highlight incorrectly spelled words, but this function allows to set a custom highlighter.

This has to be called after enabling spell checking with setCheckSpellingEnabled(), otherwise it has no effect.

See also:
highlighter()

createHighlighter()

Parameters:
highLighter the new highlighter which will be used now

Definition at line 430 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::setReadOnly ( bool  readOnly  )  [virtual]

Reimplemented to set a proper "deactivated" background color.

Definition at line 473 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::setSpellCheckingConfigFileName ( const QString &  fileName  ) 

Allows to override the config file where the settings for spell checking, like the current language or encoding, are stored.

By default, the global config file (kdeglobals) is used, to share spell check settings between all applications.

This has to be called before any spell checking is initiated.

Parameters:
fileName the URL of the config file which will be used to read spell settings
Bug:
this has no effect for the spell dialog, only for the background check

Definition at line 222 of file ktextedit.cpp.

void KTextEdit::setSpellCheckingLanguage ( const QString &  language  )
