Is this on KDE4 or KF5 ?
In KDE4, you first have to do something like this:
KTextEditor::Editor *editor = KTextEditor::EditorChooser::editor();
if (!editor) {
// the KTextEditor implementaiton was not found
}
KTextEditor::Document * document = editor->createDocument(parentObject);
KTextEditor::View * view = editor->createView(parentWidget);
view = document->createView(this);

If you want the actions to also be visible, you also need to add the XML gui
client to the XML factory. But from what you write, you don't want this.
In KF5, it's like this:
KTextEditor::Document * document =
KTextEditor::Editor::instance()->createDocument(parentObject);
KTextEditor::View * view = editor->createView(parentWidget);
view = document->createView(this);

Hope that helps,
