Methods
Detailed Description
To load text into the document, set the source property. If the user then modifies the text and wants to save the same document, call save() to save it to the same source again (only if it's a local file). Or call saveAs() to save it to a different file.
This class cannot be instantiated in QML, but is available from TextEdit::textDocument.
Note: All loading and saving is done synchronously for now. This may block the UI if the source is a slow network drive. This may be improved in future versions of Qt.
Note: This API is considered tech preview and may change in future versions of Qt.
Property Documentation
errorString : string |
modified : bool |
This property is under development and is subject to change.
This property holds whether the document has been modified by the user since the last time it was loaded or saved. By default, this property is false
.
As with QTextDocument::modified, you can set the modified property: for example, set it to false
to allow setting the source property to a different URL (thus discarding the user's changes).
This property was introduced in Qt 6.7.
See also QTextDocument::modified.
source : url |
This property is under development and is subject to change.
QQuickTextDocument can handle any text format supported by Qt, loaded from any URL scheme supported by Qt.
The URL may be absolute, or relative to the URL of the component.
The source
property cannot be changed while the document's modified state is true
. If the user has modified the document contents, you should prompt the user whether to save(), or else discard changes by setting modified = false
before setting the source property to a different URL.
This property was introduced in Qt 6.7.
See also QTextDocumentWriter::supportedDocumentFormats().
status : enumeration |
This property is under development and is subject to change.
This property holds the status of document loading or saving. It can be one of:
Constant | Description |
---|---|
TextDocument.Null | No file has been loaded |
TextDocument.Loading | Reading from source has begun |
TextDocument.Loaded | Reading has successfully finished |
TextDocument.Saving | File writing has begun after save() or saveAs() |
TextDocument.Saved | Writing has successfully finished |
TextDocument.ReadError | An error occurred while reading from source |
TextDocument.WriteError | An error occurred in save() or saveAs() |
TextDocument.NonLocalFileError | saveAs() was called with a URL pointing to a remote resource rather than a local file |
Use this status to provide an update or respond to the status change in some way. For example, you could:
- Trigger a state change:
State { name: 'loaded' when: textEdit.textDocument.status == textEdit.textDocument.Loaded }
- Implement an
onStatusChanged
signal handler:TextEdit { onStatusChanged: { if (textDocument.status === textDocument.Loaded) console.log('Loaded') } }
- Bind to the status value:
TextEdit { id: edit width: 300 height: 200 textFormat: TextEdit.MarkdownText textDocument.source: "example.md" wrapMode: TextEdit.WordWrap Text { anchors { bottom: parent.bottom right: parent.right } color: edit.textDocument.status === TextDocument.Loaded ? "darkolivegreen" : "tomato" text: switch (edit.textDocument.status) { case TextDocument.Loading: return qsTr("Loading ") + edit.textDocument.source case TextDocument.Loaded: return qsTr("Loaded ") + edit.textDocument.source default: return edit.textDocument.errorString } } }
This property was introduced in Qt 6.7.
See also errorString, source, save(), and saveAs().

Saves the contents to the file and format specified by url.
The file extension in url specifies the file format (as determined by QMimeDatabase::mimeTypeForUrl()).
Note: You can save only to a file on a mounted filesystem.
