    Default Re: virtual keyboard and key press event

    I am trying to send keypress event to the focus widget.

    Qt Code:
    1. QKeyEvent keyEvent(QEvent::KeyRelease,keyId, Qt::NoModifier, text, false, 1);
    2. QCoreApplication::sendEvent(m_focusedWd, &keyEvent);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    But it is not working.

    Same thing in a different way

    keyboard class:
    Qt Code:
    1. QKeyEvent keyEvent(QEvent::KeyRelease,keyId, Qt::NoModifier, text, false, 1);
    2. QCoreApplication::sendEvent(m_activeWindow, &keyEvent);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Mainwindow:
    Qt Code:
    1. QKeyEvent keyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress,event->key(),event->modifiers(),event->text(),false,1);
    2. QApplication::sendEvent(this->focusWidget(),&keyEvent);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    It is working. I am able to send text to line edit.
    But problem is if I press enter then it will in infinite loop and after a while program will crash.

    But i tried QInputMethodEvent in keyboard class.
    Qt Code:
    1. ev.setCommitString(text);
    2. QCoreApplication::sendEvent(m_focusedWd,&ev);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I am able to set text only.
    How i will send backspace kind of special key ?

    Why keypress event is not able to send to focus widget ?

    thanks.
