I am trying to implement finding text in a TextEdit. I have written my own dialog to do this, and i got it to return the right string. Whenever i call find on the QTextEdit it never finds what im looking for. Here is my code for the find.

Qt Code: 
  1. void VashTextEditor::find()
  2. {
  3. 	FindDialog findDialog(this);
  4. 	if (!findDialog.exec())
  5. 		return;
  6.  
  7. 	const QString searchString = findDialog.getSearchString();
  8. 	bool test = documentEdit->find(searchString);
  9.  
  10. 	if (test)
  11. 	{
  12. 		QMessageBox::information(this, tr("Vash Text Editor"), tr("Expression found."));
  13. 	}
  14. 	else
  15. 	{
  16. 		QMessageBox::information(this, tr("Vash Text Editor"), tr("Expression not found."));
  17. 	}
  18. }
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Here is the code for my FindDialog

Qt Code: 
  1. #include <QtGui>
  2.  
  3. #include "finddialog.h"
  4.  
  5. FindDialog::FindDialog(QWidget *parent)
  6. 	: QDialog(parent)
  7. {
  8. 	setupUi(this);
  9.  
  10. 	findButton->setEnabled(false);
  11.  
  12. 	connect(findButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(accept()));
  13. 	connect(cancelButton, SIGNAL(clicked()), this, SLOT(reject()));
  14. 	connect(findLineEdit, SIGNAL(textChanged(const QString &)), this, SLOT(toggleFindButton()));
  15.  
  16. }
  17.  
  18. QString FindDialog::getSearchString()
  19. {
  20. 	return findLineEdit->text();
  21. }
  22.  
  23. void FindDialog::toggleFindButton()
  24. {
  25. 	QString currentText = findLineEdit->text();
  26.  
  27. 	if (!currentText.isEmpty())
  28. 	{
  29. 		findButton->setEnabled(true);
  30. 	}
  31. 	else
  32. 	{
  33. 		findButton->setEnabled(false);
  34. 	}
  35. }

Maybe im missing something simple. Any help would be appreciated. And if more code is needed feel free to ask and I will gladly post it for you.
