[Solved?] Getting text including "preedit" from qt-components TextArea [MeeGo / N950]

theoriginalgri

Anyone knows a quick way to get the text including the preedit text when using the virtual keyboard on the n950?

Following code
@
TextArea {
onTextChanged: {
console.log("Text:", text);
}
}
@

Returns this:
@
Text:
Text:
Text:
Text:
Text: Test
@

When entering "Test" with the virtual keyboard on the N950. I need to know how it can be done with the beta2 firmware, if this is already patched in an internal release, this does not help me now. I myself haven't found a way with the current sources.

Ok, I tried a bit and found a working solution. Maybe someone else has a better one and will find this to correct me :)

Actual output when having "Hello world" in the TextArea and click after the first "o" and insert "123" with the virtual keyboard:
@
Text: Hello world
Realtext: Hello world
Text: Hello world
Realtext: Hello world
Text: Hello world
Realtext: Hello 1 world
Text: Hello world
Realtext: Hello 12 world
Text: Hello world
Realtext: Hello 123 world
@

Code:
@
TextArea {
id: textArea

property string realText

onTextChanged: {
    var tmp = text;

    if ( cursorPosition != -1 ) {
        tmp = tmp.substr(0, cursorPosition) + platformPreedit + tmp.substr(cursorPosition);
    }

    textArea.realText = tmp;

    console.log("Text:", text);
    console.log("Realtext:", realText);
}

}

between any actions should textArea.deselect()
