Hello,
I have been using the following keyboard as a standalone application
http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/...?content=77983
and it works great.
I wish to integrate this application into an exisiting product. I have a toolbar (QWidget) with buttons and edit boxes, i also have a display (QWidget), both are separate classes that are stared up in main() with 'new'. On the toolbar I have a QToolButton that when i press i wish to activate the qvkeyboard, when i press again i wish to close the qvkeyboard. I have attempted to do this 2 ways, both have problems though.
1.Use QProcess which calls proc->start("./qvkeyboard"). This works and qvkeyboard is able to be used/interacts with QLineEdit etc on the toolbar that the QToolbutton is on. Problem I have is that when i press the QToolButton again to close the qvkeyboard it won't. I have tried proc->kill and proc->terminate and it does nothing. Is there a way to send a signal/slot to a proc, or a message somehow?
2. I have intergrated the qvkeyboard code into my existing produce (called it KeyPadwindow). I create it with
KeyPadwindow = new Q_KeyPadwindow(0, Qt::FramelessWindowHint|Qt::WindowStaysOnTop)
KeyPadwindow = new Q_KeyPadwindow(0, Qt::FramelessWindowHint|Qt::WindowStaysOnTop)
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
at system start up then use
KeyPadWindow->show()
KeyPadWindow->show()
To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
When the QToolButton is pressed
This show command opens the KeyPadwindow but it will not interact with the QLineEdit boxes in the toolbar. Do i need to get focus? Does the XTestFakeKeyEvent only send fake key to application outside the one that the code is being run?
I think that instead of using XTestFakeKeyEvent that i could use signals/slots but i would need to create a QKeyEvent for all the keys on the keyboard and this seems a messy way. Also how do i determine where the focus is between my 2 widgets (toolbar and display)? I need to be able to send key presses to both depending on where the focus is.
Depending on the key pressed can the focus be changed between the two? I don't really understand QFocus...
Hope that makes sense and some kind person can help
cheers,
X_Key_confused....
