Usage

Code Sample

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QGridLayout, QWidget, QTextEdit

from pyqt_find_text_widget.findTextWidget import FindTextWidget





class MainWindow(QMainWindow):

    def __init__(self):

        super().__init__()

        self.__initUi()



    def __initUi(self):

        self.__te = QTextEdit()

        self.__te.setStyleSheet('QTextEdit { selection-background-color: lightblue; }') # I wrote this code because color of default selection doesn't stand out in the white textedit screen.



        self.__w = FindTextWidget(self.__te)



        lay = QGridLayout()

        lay.addWidget(self.__w)

        lay.addWidget(self.__te)



        mainWidget = QWidget()

        mainWidget.setLayout(lay)



        self.setCentralWidget(mainWidget)





if __name__ == "__main__":

    import sys



    app = QApplication(sys.argv)

    mainWindow = MainWindow()

    mainWindow.show()

    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Result

Note: Button icons in preview are obsolete. Back then these icons were PNG, now these are SVG! So don't worry about the difference.
