How to disable keyboard?

[Anonymous_Banned275]

This is an old "problem" and I am looking for better solution.
My MdiChild class is QTexrEdit derived .

I need to keep the MdiChild process and NOT to change the base class , BUT replace the objects with widgets , not text.

So far I have removed build

child->newFile();

however I can still enter plain text to the MdiChild window.

How to disable keyboard text entry ?

MdiChild *child = createMdiChild();

// child->newFile(); temporary no need file build
child->show();

I'm not fully understanding what you want to do, but since your MdiChild class is derived from QTextEdit, you can call the QTextEdit:setReadOnly() method; passing it a value of true.

child->setReadOnly(true);
