[solved] How to force lower case keyboard in TextField?

[qgil]

Hi, I'm using a "TextField":http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt-components/qt-components-meego-textfield.html?tab=1 from com.nokia.meego in MeeGo Harmattan. When the user taps it the virtual keyboard shows up in upper case. However, this is for a login field where we want the default to be in lower case. I can't find in the docs how to force it. Any hints?

As a wild guess (didn't try it for lower/upper case) will recommend to look at inputMethodHints. At least it works in case of digits.

Indeed! The solution is:

@ TextField {
...
inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhNoAutoUppercase@

Thank you very much!

er... silly question: what is the right syntax to add more than one hint? I just saw that it would ve convenient to ass Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText as well but I'm not finding the right way to set it together with Qt.ImhNoAutoUppercase.

Hi,

You should be able to specify multiple values as follows:

@
TextField {
...
inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhNoAutoUppercase | Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText
@

Thanks! So simple... I had tried

@inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhNoAutoUppercase & Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText@

which makes sense from a natural language point of view but, now I see, not from a computer language point of view. ;)
