Hi,
I have two QLineEdits (used to enter Username and Password) & a login button .After entering the text into QLineEdits if user presses ENTER key from keyboard then i want next page to be displayed.Now its happening but i need to use TAB every time after entering the text.I went through Qt doc for "key press events" but i not getting it.
Please explain me with code so that i can understand.
Thank you...:)
Connect QLineEdit::returnPressed() signal to QPushButton::clicked() signal
Ya i got it. I wrote as below
connect(ui->userNameLine, SIGNAL(returnPressed()),ui->homeLoginButton,SIGNAL(clicked()));
connect(ui->userPasswordLine, SIGNAL(returnPressed()),ui->homeLoginButton,SIGNAL(clicked()));
But if i write only in 1st LineEdit and press ENTER its not working.What modifications i have to do for ENTER key to work both 1st & 2nd edit Lines.
What do mean by bot working, is the signal not being emittted?Quote:

Santosh Reddy's answer does exactly what you asked for but probably not what you meant. I think this is what you meant:
- User types user name then Enter or Tab
- Focus moves to password box
- User types password
- If user presses Enter Login is triggered, or Tab the login button gets focus.
If you want an Enter pressed in the user name box to move focus to the password box (rather than push the login button) then connect returnPressed() to a slot that does that: QWidget::setFocus() for example.
I suppose you have some kind of button to trigger the login process. Have a look at the QPushButton::default property, I think that's what you're looking for (or maybe not, your description is not clear).
