everyone. I have a text written on my textEdit. When I click a button, I want to highlight the text with a background color, without loosing the information about the font, the color ect. I've tried with the following code:

QTextCursor curs=ui->textEdit->textCursor();
QTextCharFormat fmt=curs.charFormat();
fmt.setBackground(Qt::yellow);
curs.setCharFormat(fmt);
ui->textEdit->setTextCursor(curs);

but it doesn't work. Can you help me? Thanks

The solution doesn't work, because it highlights the text, but it changes the color and the properties – MartinaPianist96 Apr 10 '20 at 15:59
I flag this question to reopen – Vladimir Bershov Apr 10 '20 at 17:19
Answer for you: `QTextCharFormat newFmt; newFmt.setBackground(Qt::yellow); curs.mergeCharFormat(newFmt);` see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextcursor.html#mergeCharFormat – Vladimir Bershov Apr 10 '20 at 17:37
