Hi,

To what .pro file did you add that CONFIG entry ?

[Pradeep Kumar]

I added to the virtualkeyboard.pro,
Qt\Qt5.8\Examples\Qt-5.8\virtualkeyboard,

Is this the right place, to add ?.

Thanks,

@Pradeep-Kumar

No. You have a wrong way. Read the document again. That .pro is in the plugin source(src/virtualkeyboard/virtualkeyboard.pro).

[Pradeep Kumar]

Sorry now i got it ,

path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\examples\virtualkeyboard\basic is app to run.

path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src\virtualkeyboard is the plugin to which we need to change and check,

am i right?.

Thanks,

@Pradeep-Kumar

Yes, you are right.
First, make(qmake & make) plugin and then install.

[Pradeep Kumar]

Install means?. its a plugin, need ti install plugin to the other basic.pro

path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\examples\virtualkeyboard\basic is app to run.
?????????????????

Thanks,

@Pradeep-Kumar

I assume you are using Windows & minGW.
Try the following procedure.

1. Open the Command window (aka Qt 5.8 for Desktop...)
2. Move to the plugin dir. (cd Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src/virtualkeyboard)
3. Add the "CONFIG += lang-fi_FI" in virtualkeyboard.pro and save.
4. Run qmake
5. Run mingw32-make
6. Run mingw32-make install
7. Rebuild your exampls and run.

Hi ,

I tried arabic by changing in .pro, CONFIG+=lang-ar_AR,
and chinese using CONFIG+=lang-zh_TW,

below is the link of the screenshot of chinese keyboard,

but for lang-zh_CN, i didnt get the keyboard in chinese, any specific reason?.

Thanks,

[SGaist]

Just a wild guess but do you have any fonts that supports these characters ?

[Pradeep Kumar]

Nope, do we need to install in some respective path?.

Thanks,

[SGaist]

In your target font folder AFAIK.

[Devopia53]

I don't think it's installed font problem.
Also i don't know PinyinInputMethod( lang-zh_CN), TCInputMethod(lang-zh_TW) and chinese languages.
But, there are difference between the two features provided by QtVirtualKeyboard.
Please compare the two source codes below.
I think the layout for zh_CN is strange.

Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src\virtualkeyboard\content\layouts\zh_CN\main.qml

Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src\virtualkeyboard\content\layouts\zh_TW\main.qml

Hi,

I have question regarding the virtual keyboard topic mentioned before and especially for the chinese one. How can I get the upper frame of the keyboard layout for the additional chinese letters.
Is it just a word prediction with hunspell or is it an independent mechanism to show additional letters depending on the current selected one?

I tried the virtual keyboard example with all languages. But with simplified chinese I have only normal alpha numeric letters like at the official QT link. But they can chose a chinese letter if they typed in some alpha numeric ones.

you can see an example here (Pinyin keyboard layout, Zhuyin keyboard layout, Cangjie keyboard layout):

@Devopia53

again after few days when i try to do the same thing, follow the same steps through command prompt,

1 Open the Command window (aka Qt 5.8 for Desktop...)
2 Move to the plugin dir. (cd Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src/virtualkeyboard)
3 Add the "CONFIG += lang-fi_FI" in virtualkeyboard.pro and save.
4 Run qmake
5 Run mingw32-make
6 Run mingw32-make install
7 Rebuild your exampls and run

The button is not enabled for respective language. and i am using

path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\examples\virtualkeyboard\basic is app to run.

path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src\virtualkeyboard is the plugin to which we need to change and check,

any clue what i am doing wrong, few days back i tried it worked, now i dnt know what happened?.

Thanks,
