I've used the sample code in myinputpanel.cpp and myinputpanelcontext.cpp successfully to bring up a custom widget for spinbox inputs. The spinboxes were part of a widget created in Qt Designer. But, I'm having issues when trying to use the inputcontext mechanism in another place.
I want to bring up a custom dialog whenever a specified column of a QTableWidget is clicked. The code I'm using to do this:
Code:
Where RaceDialog is a QDialog built from Qt Designer. It's a simple dialog with a spinbox.
The dialog is shown when the column is clicked, and when I click on the spinbox input box, my custom widget is presented. But, it doesn't seem to get the focus--I get beeps whenever I click on my custom widget (clicks on the spinbox are still accepted).
I can't figure out why I have no issues when the spinbox is on the applications central widget, but the input panel doesn't get focus when I dynamically instantiate a dialog with a spinbox on it.
Is it because the spinbox is on a QDialog instead of a QWidget?
My slightly modified versions of myinputpanel.cpp, .h, and myinputpanelcontext.cpp, .h are attached (but I think differences from the sample code are irrelevant).
Thanks,

Added after 12 minutes:
I guess it's an event loop thing.
When I make the RaceDialog static, and use rd->show() instead of rd->exec(), it works ok.
So, I'll just do that.
