You used QTextEdit where you should use QLineEdit. QLineEdit is better for this kind of input.
The code you need is:

ui->lineEdit->setInputMask("000.000.000.000;_");

ui->lineEdit->setInputMask("000.000.000.000;_");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

All of this is documented in QT. Read about it in the documentation of QLineEdit.

Oh I'm sorry actually i've used a line edit in my project. but while disaplyaing that line edit i need to display the "." at equal distance. Herewith i've attached the sample code again Please check this. and tell me what should i changed. And also i dont want to show "_" in inputmask. I need empty space.

Did you consider changing the QLineEdit font to a font with a fixed width? say "Courier New"?
something like this:

ui->lineEdit->setFont(QFont("Courier New"));

ui->lineEdit->setFont(QFont("Courier New"));
