void MyWidget :: paint()

Make your custom widget as the parent of QTextEdit
When you know how to do it then you may do it wrong.
When you don't know how to do it then it is not that you may do it wrong but you may not do it right.

How does these two differ? I see both of them as same.

here are some cases I can find out:
1) you can not set the widget as child
2) you want to get a snap shot

If you have a problem, CUT and PASTE your code. Do not retype or simplify it. Give a COMPLETE and COMPILABLE example of your problem. Otherwise we are all guessing the problem from a fabrication where relevant details are often missing.
