I'm writing a cross platform app in PyQt4. For a particular feature, I would like to access the QTextHtmlImporter
class of Qt4. There is no direct python adapter class available in PyQt4. The class is part of the src/gui/text/qtextdocumentfragment_p.h file. Is there any way I can access that in Python?
I would like to modify QTextDocument.setHtml()
, which code is:
void QTextDocument::setHtml(const QString &html) {
Q_D(QTextDocument); setUndoRedoEnabled(false);
d->clear();
QTextHtmlImporter(this, html).import();
setUndoRedoEnabled(true);
}
to
void QTextDocument::setHtml(const QString &html) {
Q_D(QTextDocument);
QTextHtmlImporter(this, html).import();
}
Basically setting the HTML without clearing the history. I planned to do this by using a derived class of PyQt4's QTextDocument
overriding the setHtml
function. Is there any other way to do this?
QTextHtmlImporter
isn't even part of the Qt4 API, so the short answer is: no, there's no way to access it in PyQt4.
You could, of course, attempt to port the code to PyQt4, but I'm guessing that would be a non-trivial task.
The question is: why do you think you need to do this?
Why can't you use QTextCursor.insertHtml or QTextDocumentFragment.fromHtml?
EDIT
Here's an example of how to set the html in a text document without clearing the undo history:
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
class Window(QtGui.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
QtGui.QWidget.__init__(self)
layout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
self.edit = QtGui.QTextEdit(self)
self.undo = QtGui.QPushButton('Undo')
self.redo = QtGui.QPushButton('Redo')
self.insert = QtGui.QPushButton('Set Html')
layout.addWidget(self.edit)
layout.addWidget(self.undo)
layout.addWidget(self.redo)
layout.addWidget(self.insert)
self.undo.clicked.connect(self.edit.undo)
self.redo.clicked.connect(self.edit.redo)
self.insert.clicked.connect(self.handleInsert)
self.edit.append('One')
self.edit.append('Two')
self.edit.append('Three')
def handleInsert(self):
cursor = QtGui.QTextCursor(self.edit.document())
cursor.select(QtGui.QTextCursor.Document)
cursor.insertHtml("""<p>Some <b>HTML</b> text</p>""")
if __name__ == '__main__':
import sys
app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
win = Window()
win.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
