QLineEdit setFocus

[bunjee]

Hey there, I'm using that call to set the focus on my QLineEdit widget.


/* virtual */ void ZeConversationWidget::showEvent(QShowEvent * event)
{
mConversationInput->getMessageInput().setFocus();
}

I don't get any focus.
But when I do resize the window, strangely enough the focus is suddenly set on that QLineEdit, and it works.

I'm using 4.4 release candidate.

Has anyone got an idea?

Hi,

From QWidget doc:

Be aware that if the widget is hidden, it will not accept focus until it is shown.

So, if the widget is not shown yet, it don't will get the focus.

For such things use singleShot to set the data values etc, related to showing of widgets etc


QTimer::singleShot(0,this,initialize());
MyWindow::initialize()
{
mConversationInput->getMessageInput().setFocus();
}



Hope this helps :)

I did a check with isVisible :


/* virtual */ void ZeConversationWidget::showEvent(QShowEvent * event)
{
if (mConversationInput->getMessageInput().isVisible())
{
// My code gets here
std::cout << "Hello\n";
mConversationInput->getMessageInput().setFocus();
}
}

Tried that one too, no success. I need to resize my window to get focus.
I think it might be a QT 4.4 bug.
