Custom QWidget Keyboard first time click issue.

Hi
for my keyboard, I find it needed to have
NoFocus for focusPolicy on the buttons or they steal focus from Lineedit.

Arvind K

still, the issue is pending. Please provide a solution.

It may be a silly question, does it happen with all the buttons of your keyboard?
Are you sure that the first time you push on a button of your keyboard the slot keyboardHandler() gets called?

Yes, it happens with all the buttons of a keyboard. slot keyboardHandler() does not get called for the first time. another thing I observed that when I called a keyboard on QPushbutton clicked event then keyboard works properly. this issue happens with QlineEdit Only.

I would call lineEditkeyboard->setLineEdit(line) only when the lineEdit gets the focus.
In addition, in the setLineEdit(), I would call this->setFocusProxy(line). In order to avoid your keyboard to steal the focus from your linedit.

one more thing to share when I called keyboard widget with a show() like
lineEditkeyboard->setLineEdit(line);
lineEditkeyboard->show();

the keyboard works properly but when I called Keyboard like

lineEditkeyboard->setLineEdit(line);
lineEditkeyboard->setWindowModality(Qt::ApplicationModal);
lineEditkeyboard->show();

then I face the same issue of the first click.

hi, we need to find out what is happening.
please do
qDebug() << "focus widget " << qApp->focusObject();
which tells us when you open the keyboard, who has focus.
Meaning who will get the keys if u type.
I think you have something that steals keyboard focus when u open the
lineEditkeyboard

@mrjj

as you said I have done same when keyboard widget is shown.
output is

DBG default: focus widget QLineEdit(0x227ca90, name = "lineEdit")

lineEdit is Nothing but the QLineEdit on Keyboard widget.

mrjj

@Arvind-K
Ok so it does have the focus when first click is not registered?

Arvind K

@mrjj

Yes.
after that when I click on Anywhere on Widget Nothing happen or no Any event gets called.

mrjj

@Arvind-K
so the widget appear frozen for a moment ?
Do you have any kind of loops in constructor or anything like that ?

Arvind K

@mrjj

No, there is no Loop in the constructor or No Any other code only I have connected signal to Slot.

Keyboard::Keyboard(QWidget *parent) :
QWidget(parent),
ui(new Ui::Keyboard)
{
ui->setupUi(this);

this->setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);
connect ( ui->Buttonq, SIGNAL( clicked() ), this, SLOT( keyboardHandler() ) );

outputText = "";
shift = false;

}

@Arvind-K
ok. when this situation is happening.
Does the buttons show activated effect ?
I mean can u see u pres them or anything ?

Arvind K

@mrjj

As I mentioned Previously when I set WindowModality of Keyboard widget to QApplicationModal I face this First Click issue otherwise it works fine. but if I didn't set windowModality then Keyboard goes back to the parent widget.

**lineEditkeyboard->setWindowModality(Qt::ApplicationModal); **

mrjj

Hmm.
The code looks ok fine and i cant see any reason for
QApplicationModal to cause this effect but
it could be a bug in Qt.

Arvind K

@mrjj

I can't see press button effect for the first time.

mrjj

@Arvind-K
Ok, then it seems its stuck for a moment in the event loop.
Im not sure what to do about that.
setWindowModality(Qt::ApplicationModal) must use a local even loop to make
it modal so might be a but with this or something i dont see in the code.
