I am developing an application and i must add an on screen keyboard when input areas focused. I saw something called qtvirtualkeyboard but dont know whether if i can integrate it to my widget application.

Hi,

Yes you can, see this thread for example.

If it were me, I'd us an existing X11 on-screen keyboard application.

@SGaist I tried but it still jumps over to lineedits if lineedit at the bottom of window. And actually i want a keyboard that part of my project. I want to open a keyboard lets say 300x500px near the clicked lineedit/dateedit. I created simple keyboard widget with buttons. But im not sure when to show my keyboard.
@Kent-Dorfman Yes i would do it too, but they want in application keyboard from me.

Did you check the linked stack overflow thread ?

@SGaist Yes I tried it. It didnt work and keyboard started working weirdly. not all buttons were fitting the screen.
