I've changed it to check if it's in the first edit, to stop the timer so it'd look like

123.___.___.___

And then the user will have to manually hit "Delete" repeatedly to delete the characters. This way, the program doesn't crash. It's not exactly elegant, but it's close enough to the requirements I was given.

I have also changed that curEdit->installEventFilter(this) is only called once.

Thank you very much for your help, I will go ahead and mark this as solved.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Can you explain why do you need to know whether a letter is currently pressed ?

A long press on such a key usually triggers the auto-repeat of the system so it might make things a bit more difficult.

Thank you @jsulm, I thought I read the documentation through, but apparently not. Also, I'm not calling QFrame. I saw the link I posted and used it as more of a guideline to create an IP Editor for my needs. Thank you for your help :)

@Wieland Wow you are just killing it today for me aren't you? Haha. I'll judge which is best for me a give it a roll.

Thanks a bunch (again)!

EDIT:

I ended up going for the event filter route and it works beautifully. Other than the exact syntax the approach also feels pretty intuitive which I like.

That worked fine, thanx a lot for your help

@mrjj

It's alright , i figured it out ;)

Huge thanks for your help :)

Topic->setAsClosed(true);

i guess this issue will be solved along with your other issue.

Thank you all,
I am going to mark this discussion as solved;
However, Any more comments would be much appreciated;

Well, that's the use of eventFilter. In your reimplementation, you check only for what you are interested in and when it's not just call the base class implementation.
