I'm sure you have QMLViewer object in C++. This is used for launching the QML file. Use this as destination object.

QtQuick2ControlsApplicationViewer w;

You can do

QApplication::postEvent(&w,new QKeyEvent(.....))

Can I send it directly to the TextInput ?

dheerendra

If this is the focused object, it will be sent to TextInput only.

And if its not ?

If not we need to look at the issue. There may be other focused elements in the UI. What is the issue you are facing when you do this ?

I have pointer to the QML TextInput in C++ and I want to send it a Key event (simulate keyboaed) while it may not be focused

dheerendra

if you have pointer to TextInput use the post event as I suggested

QApplication::postEvent(pointerToTextInput,new QKeyEvent(…..))

If you give the sample code it helps us to look/analyze if you have any issue.
