Seeking in-app QT5 virtual keyboard example (widget based).
-
Folks,
Back yet again on my QT4 -> QT5 port. Now its the virtual keyboard(s) we use. In QT 4, we have an compiled into app virtual keyboard, implemented with QInputContext (and using the QApplication::setInputContext function). Now I know those are all obsolete and not in QT5, so I am seeing if there are any good current examples of QWidget use of virtual keyboards (all I seem to find search is QML based usage).
I am hoping with a decent example I can use to help reengineer out virtual keyboards to work well with the new QT5 version of our applications.Thanks,

Hi,
KDAB has several articles related to QInoutMethod that will likely interest you.

Yep, I looked at those, even downloaded the sample code, but it seems to be built as a non-embedded keyboard (i.e. the keyboard is a separate server that communicates via DBus). I would rather not have a separate keyboard server app. He implies it can be done, but says it is not as interesting.
Also, I assume my real app loads the plugin for use, but what sort of work does that take ?Dale

This excellent article shows how to create an in-app virtual keyboard. Granted its a QML keyboard but it shows the basics that should keep you going.

@SGaist Hi, I downloaded this example and tried to run it.
I got this message:“Could not find the executable“.
Any idea maybe?Thanks.
@mulfycrowh
TARGET = MockupVirtualKeyboard
TEMPLATE = libit is a lib. Did you notice there is no main.cpp?

@JoeCFD thanks. You‘re right, there is no main.
How can I write a small app using this lib?
Just to see how it runs. -
It's a plugin.
Once installed it can be used in the same way Qt's virtual keyboard is used.
