Modal QDialog with VirtualKeyboard (inputPanel)

mostefa

Hi guys,

I have a widget that show modal QDialog when button is clicked, this modal dialog contains QLineEdit.

And I need to write text with (virtualkeyboard) inputpanel on my QLineEdit , but cause my QDialog need to stay modal (due to customer need) , when i click out this dialog nothing will respond even the keyboard .

What i want to do is to keep my QDialog modal , and let QDialog accept click outside if the click is on the input panel.

See this picture for more details:

Is there any way to do this?

Who's your daddy?

i.e. could you tell us the parent of each of the 3 items in the picture?

Hello VRonin,

parent of all items is widget , it's my mainWidget, for information this is my main.cpp


QApplication app(argc, argv);

MyInputPanelContext *ic = new MyInputPanelContext;
app.setInputContext(ic);

QWidget widget;
Ui::MainForm form;
form.setupUi(&widget);
widget.show();

Dialog* mDialog = new Dialog(&widget);
mDialog->setModal(true);
QObject::connect(form.pushButton,SIGNAL(clicked(bool)),mDialog,SLOT(show()));
return app.exec();

Ok, I'm not familiar with QInputContext and as, it was discontinued in Qt5, I'm unable to test it.

My question derived from the fact that I thought you could reparent the "Input Panel" to the new dialog to make it work
