Unsolved MessageDialog responsive to keyboard events.
-
Hello,
Is there a way to have a MessageDialog responsive to keyboard events ?
I tried to catch a return key signal (like the following snippet ) but it's not working.MessageDialog { id: failed_popup property string message : failed_popup.text property string errorTitle : failed_popup.title property alias icon : failed_popup.icon title: errorTitle icon: StandardIcon.Warning standardButtons: StandardButton.Ok text: message Keys.onReturnPressed: { console.log(" Return pressed ") accepted(); } }
I know I could use another QML component like window but I was expected this to be working in MessageDialog directly as I don't need anything more complicated..
Am I missing something ? -
@EmilieG that should work, are you sure you're pressing return and not enter ? that can vary from region to region and keyboard to keyboard and os to os
also try forcing active focus on the MessageDialog
activeFocus:true
because maybe another component (for example the button) has active focus after displaying the Dialog

@J-Hilk Thanks for your answer. There is no activeFocus or focus property for the MessageDialog, so it's not compiling..

ok, I tried your example code and I actually get the following message:Could not attach Keys property to: DefaultMessageDialog_QMLTYPE_35_QML_37(0x7fcb04c5fe40) is not an Item
so, you can't catch the key event 🤷♂️
You could possibly install an eventFilter in main.cpp that should work
