Virtual keyboard, not fullscreen

[strahlex]

Hello Qt developers,

When using QTextEdit on Symbian platform the virtual keyboard shows up fullscreen by default, is it possible to use the keyboard non-fullscreen, so that the user could see the real textedit (not the one from the keyboard)?

Unfortunately no.
It's managed by the operating system.

Take a look at this, maybe it'll help: "virtual keyboard":http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/VirtualKeyboard?content=107388

Don't know how it'll look on mobile platform.

Thank you, but what I searched for was a native solution, like in the messaging application.

Hey Strahlex!
I was just facing the same question and could not find anything but this thread on google.
So sorry for reviving this old thread, but there is a solution and maybe it'll help someone who googles it just like me.
Just set the ApplicationAttribute AA_S60DisablePartialScreenInputMode to false:

@QApplication::setAttribute(Qt::AA_S60DisablePartialScreenInputMode, false);@

...that's all. Took some grepping through the qt sources for me to find that out :/

Cheers!
