Send keystrokes help c++

? Offline

Hi! I don't know what you're doing there but it's far too complicated. The way to go is to create QKeyEvent's and send them to the widget of your choice via postEvent. You can do the same with other events, like mouse input.

Hi i only want to send the content of one file to my client where i have other file. Because i could record the keys but i am trying to loop them and send to my client.

SGaist

What is the exact content of this file ?

RIVOPICO

it has normal text . one .txt file.

SGaist

Then why not just show its content in a QLabel or a QTextEdit/QPlainTextEdit if you want to be able to modify it ?

The function for send my keys is this:
void enviarTecla(int tecla)
{

Display *display = XOpenDisplay(NULL);
XKeyEvent event;

switch (tecla)
{
case Qt::Key_Return:
    tecla = XK_Return ;
    break;
case Qt::Key_Backspace:
    tecla = XK_BackSpace ;
    break;
case Qt::Key_Escape:
    tecla = XK_Escape;
    break;
case Qt::Key_Shift:
    tecla = XK_Shift_L ;
    break;
case Qt::Key_CapsLock:
    tecla = XK_Caps_Lock;
    break;
}
  int a;
  event.display = display;
  XGetInputFocus(display,&event.window,&a);
  event.root = 0;
  event.subwindow = None;
  event.time = CurrentTime;
  event.x = 1;
  event.y = 1;
  event.x_root = 1;
  event.y_root = 1;
  event.same_screen = TRUE;

  event.type = KeyPress;  //event.type = KeyRelease;
  event.keycode = XKeysymToKeycode (display,tecla);
  event.state = 0;

  XSendEvent(event.display, event.window, TRUE, KeyPressMask, (XEvent *)&event);


  event.display = display;
  XGetInputFocus(display,&event.window,&a);
  event.root = 0;
  event.subwindow = None;
  event.time = CurrentTime;
  event.x = 1;
  event.y = 1;
  event.x_root = 1;
  event.y_root = 1;
  event.same_screen = TRUE;

  event.type = KeyRelease;
  event.keycode = XKeysymToKeycode (display,tecla);
  event.state = 0;

  XSendEvent(event.display, event.window, TRUE, KeyReleaseMask, (XEvent *)&event);
  XCloseDisplay(display);

}

Can you explain what you are trying to achieve ? That would help us help you more efficiently.

the question is very easy; in the table ascii between 0 and 32 exists keys of control for example enter. How i could simulate enter when someone press 13 ascii key for example? I am introducing these data in a file but shoz me events or i dont know look: http://i.imgsafe.org/7e29fc31bc.png
thanks in advance. in Qt

RIVOPICO

i could do this: log.write(Qt::Key_Enter);

RIVOPICO

I need when me press enter key, in the table ascii 13 numbers, do a end line. Something like this.

 if(num==13){
           log.open(QFile::Append);
           log.write("\n");//Jump the line in textfile
           log.close();

        }

But something working thx;
