Using mousePressEvent in PyQt5

Matze_121

Hi,

I‘m trying to a use virtual keyboard for my gui in PyQt5. I already found one (https://github.com/yurisnm/pyqt5/tree/master/keyboard_full). My goal is to implement my Gui.py, build with QtCreator. I already imported the file and changed the MainWindow class for the new gui.

First the working example from GitHub, that calls the Keyboard if you click into TextEdit:

class MainWindow(QWidget):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()
        self.layout = QVBoxLayout()
        self.setLayout(self.layout)
        self.text_edit = TextEdit(self)
        self.layout.addWidget(self.text_edit)
        self.kb = WKeyboard()
        self.kb.set_receiver(self.text_edit)

    def closeEvent(self, QCloseEvent):
        self.kb.close()
        super(MainWindow, self).closeEvent(QCloseEvent)

class TextEdit(QTextEdit):

    def __init__(self, parent):
        super(TextEdit, self).__init__()
        self.parent = parent

    def mousePressEvent(self, QMouseEvent):
        self.parent.kb.show()
        super(TextEdit, self).mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent)

And here's how I edited it so far:


class MainWindow(QMainWindow, gui.Ui_Gui):
    def __init__(self):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__()
        self.setupUi(self)
        self.edit = Text(self)
        self.kb = Tastatur()
        self.kb.set_receiver(self.edit)

    def closeEvent(self, QCloseEvent):
        self.kb.close()
        super(MainWindow, self).closeEvent(QCloseEvent)

class Text(QLineEdit):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        super(Text, self).__init__()
        self.parent = parent

    def mousePressEvent(self, QMouseEvent):
        self.parent.kb.show()
        super(Text, self).mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent)

I named the LineEdit in QtCreator "edit".

I included Gui.py and replaced self.text_edit by self.edit.

The gui shows up, but if I click on the LineEdit nothing happens.

Are there further changes to make?

Thanks!
