    Dear all friends,

    I would like to create own input method which use only for Qt Applications.
    How can I do that?

    It likes Windows language Keyboard for non-English language but not on screen keyboard.
    Thanks

      Hmm... I don't know of such functionality. But, you could create a different keyboard layout in Windows (like for languages), or well make a mapping of keys from a standard layout to what you want and on handling key events, get the corresponding key from the mapping.

        Dear friend,

        No, it need rendering & script sorting for this language.
        It can be made with KeyMagic but not by Windows keyboard layout.
        Although keyboard can be available, they need to install on machine.

        What I want is to make built-in keyboard with Qt application, so no need to install others keyboard software on machine...

          Windows by default, in the regional and language settings in Control Panel supports addition of languages, keyboards. But, you're right probably, that a custom layout/input method cannot be created using that. The KeyMagic tool looks interesting though. I don't know how that could be done in Qt.
