    Default Unable to write in QTextEdit

    I wrote new class inherited from QTextEdit and have keypressevent inside my class called "MyTextEdit.cpp"

    Now I want to use this in other class called "MyEditor.cpp", so i created an object of MyTextEdit class and set the setReadOnly() property to false. But it not allow me to write in textedit. I also set it to setEnabled() to true. But still facing same issue.

    I think i am missing something or made some silly mistake.

    Can anyone let me know what i am doing wrong here.

    In your keyPressEvent() method, do you call the base class implementation?

    Cheers,

    Yah, but textedit itself not writable, although I can call my kerypressevent, which is not an issue. Issue is i not even get textEdit as writable/editable.

    What you are describing is captured below:
    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QApplication>
    2. #include <QTextEdit>
    3. #include <QDebug>
    4.  
    5. class MyTextEdit: public QTextEdit
    6. {
    7. Q_OBJECT
    8. public:
    9. MyTextEdit(QWidget *p = 0): QTextEdit(p) { }
    10. protected:
    11. void keyPressEvent(QKeyEvent *event) {
    12. // do local stuff
    13. qDebug() << "Doing local stuff";
    14. // then do the base stuff
    15. QTextEdit::keyPressEvent(event);
    16. }
    17. };
    18.  
    19. int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    20. QApplication app(argc, argv);
    21. MyTextEdit edit; // defaults to editable
    22. edit.show();
    23. return app.exec();
    24. }
    25. #include "main.moc"
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    and this works. So, is this what you are doing?
