Macros for an existing Qt application?

[Johny_Why]

I'm using Qt V4L2 test Utility on arch linux.
Can i manipulate the user controls, like textboxes and buttons, from a BASH script or a Qt script?

thx

Hi and welcome to devnet,

What kind of manipulation do you have in mind ?

[Johny_Why]

Like, entering text into textboxes and clicking buttons.
Or, preferably, getting at the API behind the GUI.
Preferably, without recompiling the Qt V4L2 test Utility app.

thx!

Do you have the sourcecode for the v4l2 app? What would be the purpose of scripting the action of the application? Usually the GUI is a wrapper over top of an API or system level command line utility. I'd suggest reverting to a command line v4l2 app and adding the gui or scripting over top of that.
