Setting the cursor color

[Dcqt]

Hi,
I am using the following code to format my QTextEdit , but i am not able to change color of the cursor to white.

please let me know how to change the color of the cursor to white.

@
QFont font("Arial",9,QFont::Courier,FALSE);
setFont(font);
setTextColor(Qt::white);
QPalette pl = palette();
pl.setColor(QPalette::Base,Qt::black);
setPalette(pl);
@

you mean the blinking text cursor not the mouse cursor right?
Are you tied to using QPalette or can you also use stylesheets?

Following should do what you want:
@
myTextEdit->setStyleSheet("QTextEdit {background-color: black; color : white; }");
@

but if you need to stick to QPalette you need to add the following line:
@
pl.setColor(QPalette::Text,Qt::white);
@

Thank for the reply.

Thats working fine , there is one more problem whenever i copy paste some colored text to my QTextEdit from other page and press enter my future text in the window is also changing to same color.

how to disable it.

Solved by using
@ setTextColor(Qt::white); @
again after pressing enter.
