How to set cursor shape to '>' in a QTextEdit?

问题

I am trying to mimic a command-line client. I wish to set the cursor shape to '>', to show messages to user. I don't see that shape in the options provided by QCursor. Is there a way to set custom shapes to widget cursors?

回答1:

You need to set the QTextEdit's viewport's cursor: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/stable/qtextedit.html

"The shape of the mouse cursor on a QTextEdit is Qt::IBeamCursor by default. It can be changed through the viewport()'s cursor property."

e.g. To hide the cursor completely:

ui.textEdit->viewport()->setCursor(Qt::BlankCursor);

回答2:

are you talking about mouse's shape

or about the text caret

Check QTextLayout::drawCursor

回答3:

You may think you want to do this, but you really don't. What will it gain you to change the mouse cursor to '>'? It will certainly confuse the user.
