Keyboard simulation

alecs26

Hello,

I want to simulate keyboard keypress in Qt QML minwg on Windows.

I tried this example:
https://www.wisol.ch/w/articles/2015-07-26-virtual-keyboard-qt/
It worked but there are two problems:

It only sends actions to the Qt application (it doesn't work if I want to send actions to a web research bar)
It works in the Qt application with QtQuick.Controls 1.3 but not with QtQuick.Controls 2.0

Could you help me either:
a) Give me a project example of a virtual keyboard or simple keypress or
b) From the exemple I used above help me to solve these problems

Thank you so much,

Alex

what is a "web research bar"?

Did you already have a look at QtVirtualKeyboard?

Sorry, by "web research bar" I meant the web browser address bar or simply a google search bar.

I tried the QtVirtualKeyboard from the git repository you gave me but I got an error (module "QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard" is not installed) so I assumed that I needed the Qt virtual keyboard commercial version for it to work.

Thank you,

Alex

thos search bars are inside your Qt application? or do you mean system wide?

it's included in Qt 5.8 onwards with LGPLv3

Thank you for your anwer. For the search bar, I mean system wide (for exemple the Chrome address bar).

For the QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard, even with 5.8 it does not find it.
I looked in "C:\Qt\5.8\msvc2013_64\qml\QtQuick" and it is not there...

Thank you for your help and support.
