Are you sure you have this?

QTextCursor cur();

That will not make a variable so I think you are ignoring some compiler warnings later on.
Correct is

	Source code
1	QTextCursor cur;

Have you read the documents?
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8…rsor.html#block
QTextCursor::block()

block() does not take any arguments but you are giving it some. Again, this should give you compiler error.

what class is ui->text????

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.

You read the docs? Do you understand them? block() does not take any arguments but you are giving it some - why?

lets try this one again:

don't you know how to answer? If you don't, then you need to get to grips with the basics of c++ first. How well do you know c++?

QTextCursor cursor = ui->text->textCursor();
