Add text to QPlainTextEdit in PyQT (the result is a status log)
28,873
Solution 1
Try insertPlainText()
instead. The documentation does not mention insertText
so the error is quite descriptive.
Solution 2
You'd need to use the .appendPlainText(text)
function to do it. Here's the documentation for it.

I am trying to build a StatusLog, every move that happens on an application. For example, the user clicked in the button1, the progressBox must receive a string like "user clicked the button1".
I've searched and found a link but I can't put that working out, I don't know how.

Everytime I try it gives me AttributeError: 'QPlainTextEdit' object has no attribute 'insertText'
