How to create a bulleted or numbered list in QTextEdit with Qt by clicking a button? Also it is necessary that make a list the paragraphes which are selected by clicking the same button. And when the cursor is in the list and you click the button, the the list item becomes not-list item, but a simple paragraph. In two words I want to create for my text editer 2 buttons, that work in the same way as (buletting and numbering button is MS Word).

A:
QTextEdit should support html text formatting so button click handler below should insert 2 lists into the text edit control:
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
// will insert a bulleted list
ui->textEdit->insertHtml("<ul><li>text 1</li><li>text 2</li><li>text 3</li></ul> <br />");
// will insert a numbered list
ui->textEdit->insertHtml("<ol><li>text 1</li><li>text 2</li><li>text 3</li></ol>");
}
alternatively you can manipulate textedit content using QTextDocument and QTextCursor members. Below is an example:
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_2_clicked()
{
QTextDocument* document = ui->textEdit->document();
QTextCursor* cursor = new QTextCursor(document);
QTextListFormat listFormat;
listFormat.setStyle(QTextListFormat::ListDecimal);
cursor->insertList(listFormat);
cursor->insertText("one");
cursor->insertText("\ntwo");
cursor->insertText("\nthree");
}

The second variant is what I want, but is's incompleate. The difficult part is to make already written text buletted/numbered. And bulleted/numbered text make unbulleted/unnumbered. Actually it should be done with the same checkable button or and action in a menu.

A:
I have used this code:
void TextEdit::textStyle(int styleIndex)
{
QTextCursor cursor = textEdit->textCursor();
if (styleIndex != 0) {
QTextListFormat::Style style = QTextListFormat::ListDisc;
switch (styleIndex) {
default:
case 1:
style = QTextListFormat::ListDisc;
break;
case 2:
style = QTextListFormat::ListCircle;
break;
case 3:
style = QTextListFormat::ListSquare;
break;
case 4:
style = QTextListFormat::ListDecimal;
break;
case 5:
style = QTextListFormat::ListLowerAlpha;
break;
case 6:
style = QTextListFormat::ListUpperAlpha;
break;
case 7:
style = QTextListFormat::ListLowerRoman;
break;
case 8:
style = QTextListFormat::ListUpperRoman;
break;
}
cursor.beginEditBlock();
QTextBlockFormat blockFmt = cursor.blockFormat();
QTextListFormat listFmt;
if (cursor.currentList()) {
listFmt = cursor.currentList()->format();
} else {
listFmt.setIndent(blockFmt.indent() + 1);
blockFmt.setIndent(0);
cursor.setBlockFormat(blockFmt);
}
listFmt.setStyle(style);
cursor.createList(listFmt);
cursor.endEditBlock();
} else {
// ####
QTextBlockFormat bfmt;
bfmt.setObjectIndex(-1);
cursor.mergeBlockFormat(bfmt);
}
}
from this source.
Only I have changed
} else {
// ####
QTextBlockFormat bfmt;
bfmt.setObjectIndex(-1);
cursor.mergeBlockFormat(bfmt);
}
to the following code:
} else {
// ####
QTextBlockFormat bfmt;
bfmt.setObjectIndex(0);
cursor.mergeBlockFormat(bfmt);
setTextCursor(cursor);
}
