Qt4/C++ - QTextEdit subclass - can't show cursor

[mad-hatter]

Hello,

I'm subclassing a QTextEdit and I can't get the cursor to show.

Flow:-
From the button slot, I call a QDialog (propForm).
From the dialog, I call a subclassed QTextEdit (data/dataEdit).

No matter what I try, I can't get the cursor to show (visible).
The program compiles and runs OK, up to the point of a noshow cursor.

Could someone tell me what I haven't done.

Regards
