## Member Function Documentation

### QTextEdit::QTextEdit ( QWidget * parent, const char * name )

Use one of the constructors that doesn't take the name argument and then use setObjectName() instead.

### bool QTextEdit::bold () const

Use fontWeight() >= QFont::Bold instead.

See also setBold().

### QColor QTextEdit::color () const

Use textColor() instead.

See also setColor().

### void QTextEdit::currentColorChanged ( const QColor & color ) `[signal]`

Use currentCharFormatChanged() instead.

### void QTextEdit::currentFontChanged ( const QFont & font ) `[signal]`

Use currentCharFormatChanged() instead.

### void QTextEdit::doKeyboardAction ( KeyboardAction action )

Executes keyboard action action.

Use the QTextCursor API instead.

See also textCursor().

### QString QTextEdit::family () const

Use fontFamily() instead.

See also setFamily().

### bool QTextEdit::find ( const QString & exp, bool cs, bool wo )

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.

Use the find() overload that takes a QTextDocument::FindFlags argument.

### bool QTextEdit::hasSelectedText () const

Use textCursor().hasSelection() instead.

### void QTextEdit::insert ( const QString & text )

Use insertPlainText() instead.

### bool QTextEdit::isModified () const

Use document()->isModified() instead.

### bool QTextEdit::isRedoAvailable () const

Use document()->isRedoAvailable() instead.

### bool QTextEdit::isUndoAvailable () const

Use document()->isUndoAvailable() instead.

### bool QTextEdit::italic () const

Use fontItalic() instead.

See also setItalic().

### void QTextEdit::moveCursor ( CursorAction action, QTextCursor::MoveMode mode = QTextCursor::MoveAnchor )

Use the QTextCursor() class instead.

### int QTextEdit::pointSize () const

Use int(fontPointSize()+0.5) instead.

See also setPointSize().

### void QTextEdit::redo () const `[slot]`

Redoes the last operation.

If there is no operation to redo, i.e. there is no redo step in the undo/redo history, nothing happens.

See also undo().

### QString QTextEdit::selectedText () const

Use textCursor().selectedText() instead.

### void QTextEdit::setBold ( bool b )

Use setFontWeight() instead.

See also bold().

### void QTextEdit::setColor ( const QColor & color ) `[slot]`

Use setTextColor() instead.

See also color().

### void QTextEdit::setFamily ( const QString & family )

Use setFontFamily() instead.

See also family().

### void QTextEdit::setItalic ( bool i )

Use setFontItalic() instead.

See also italic().

### void QTextEdit::setModified ( bool m = true ) `[slot]`

Use document->setModified() instead.

See also isModified().

### void QTextEdit::setPointSize ( int size )

Use setFontPointSize() instead.

See also pointSize().

### void QTextEdit::setText ( const QString & text )

Sets the text edit's text. The text can be plain text or HTML and the text edit will try to guess the right format.

Use setHtml() or setPlainText() directly to avoid text edit's guessing.

See also text().

### void QTextEdit::setTextFormat ( Qt::TextFormat f )

Sets the text format to format f.

See also textFormat().

### void QTextEdit::setUnderline ( bool b )

Use setFontUnderline() instead.

See also underline().

### void QTextEdit::sync ()

Does nothing.

### QString QTextEdit::text () const

Returns all the text in the text edit as plain text.

See also setText().

### Qt::TextFormat QTextEdit::textFormat () const

Returns the text format.

See also setTextFormat().

### bool QTextEdit::underline () const

Use fontUnderline() instead.

See also setUnderline().

### void QTextEdit::undo () const `[slot]`

Undoes the last operation.

If there is no operation to undo, i.e. there is no undo step in the undo/redo history, nothing happens.

See also redo().
