TextField and custom virtual keyboard not compatible ?

[DavidM29]

Hello,

I'm making a Virtual Keyboard because I can't use the one provided with Qt (because my target is an embedded system that does not support it).

The keyboard seems to works fine but I have an issue when I use a TextField as destination of Keyboard input.

My first attempt was on a TextEdit. But I want to use it on a TextField as well. But it does not work.

Here is how my virtual keyboard is working :

I implemented a cpp method that send an Event, here is a sample of what I'm sending :

    event = new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress, k, Qt::NoModifier, lbl);

   QCoreApplication::sendEvent(target, event);

On the qml side I have a TextField, once I gain focus on the TextField I update my "target" in order to send the event to the focused field.

onFocusChanged: if (focus) keyboard.setTarget(this, false) //If focus on the TextField the textfield become the newTarget, the boolean is a value I use to know is my field is numeric or not

This seems to be enough on TextEdit but not on TextField do you have any idea what can cause this difference ?

If you need any more element please ask me I'll provide it.

Thank you for any help.

I believe I just found out why. From the info I found the TextField contains a TextEdit, that means that once I focus the TextField I do not focus the TextEdit and I can't send events to the right target.

Is there anyway to focus the textEdit inside a TextField ?
