Widgets inside a text-editor

[Ramin]

What's the best way in Qt to have another widget (e.g. a dropbox) embedded inside a texteditor but also "inline" with the standard text?

For example, this [drop box [v]] is inline with this line of text. As I insert text behind the dropbox, it would move along with the text as if it were just another character.

Would you know any such widget/component that implements such functionality using Qt? I can imagine implementing it from scratch would be text rendering nightmare...

Hi
Have a look at
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5.5/qtextobjectinterface.html#details
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextobjectinterface.html
and the "Text Object Example"
It seems possible to create your own widget to support such feature but
I have no tested it and do not know if object would receive events.
also docs says
"Copy and Paste operations ignore custom text objects."
