Hmmm, if you still want to be able to use the button to change the value 
but not the line edit (since you said it is purely a touch app) then one 
approach is to subclass QSpinBox and in the constructor of your 
subclass, use the protected QAbstractSpinBox::lineEdit() function to get 
a pointer to the line edit sub-control and then call setReadOnly( true ) 
on that.

That should leave the spin box buttons active and allow you to change 
the value but still have the text cursor hidden.

Cheers,
