Setting a cursor on QTextEdit

[Erlendhg]

Hi!
Was just wondering how to set the mouse cursor on the QTextEdit.
setCursor() doesn't work.
viewPort()->setCursor() does work, but when I compile the program to an *.exe, and run it, that line makes it crash.

And I don't want to use QApplication::setOverrideCursor...

Anyone able to help me?

Thanks

setCursor() doesn't work.
Sure it doesn, if you use it right! ;)

Show us your code.

Quite simple:
The pointing hand cursor won't override the default IBeam (isn't it ?)



#include "myclass.h"
myClass::myClass(QWidget *parent)
: QTextEdit(parent)
{
setMouseTracking(true);
}

myClass::~myClass()
{

}

void myClass::mouseMoveEvent(QMouseEvent *event)
{
setCursor(Qt::PointingHandCursor);
}

Try
viewport()->setMouseTracking(true);

But wouldn't that just help if mouseMoveEvent wasn't called?
Because mouseMoveEvent is getting called everytime I move the mouse.
setCursor() just doesn't work for me :(

How about
viewport()->setCursor(Qt::PointingHandCursor); then? :)

viewPort()->setCursor() does work, but when I compile the program to an *.exe, and run it, that line makes it crash.


The weird about this is that in my new little test program
#include "myclass.h"

myClass::myClass(QWidget *parent)
: QTextEdit(parent)
{
viewport()->setCursor(Qt::PointingHandCursor);
}

myClass::~myClass()
{

}

that actually does work, but not in my big program.

*scratching my head*

Well, this does work for me anyway:

QWidget *viewPort = viewport();
viewPort->setCursor(Qt::PointingHandCursor);
setViewport(viewPort);
