SoftwareInputPanel with digits only - how?

cmer4

I noticed quite a few apps where developers are using standard SoftwareInputPanel with alphabetics and digits, while user is only required to input digits.

What is the method to call a SoftwareInputPanel that provides entering digits (the one that exists in Nokia devices)?

We should call setInputMethodHints on the editor before opening softwareinputpanel.

Example:

editor->setInputMethodHints(Qt::ImhDigitsOnly);
//http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7.1/qt.html#InputMethodHint-enum

//and then call below code to open software keypad.

QEvent event(QEvent::RequestSoftwareInputPanel);
QApplication::sendEvent(editor, &event);

//to close kepad
QEvent event(QEvent::CloseSoftwareInputPanel);
QApplication::sendEvent(editor, &event);
