I am here to make a quick post. I searched for this at many places but could not get the exact solutions. Every message I could read sounded cryptic.
Scenario:
I want to generate fake keyboard events and send to QWebView class.
Solution:
Extend this class to have
slots for signals. Connect it to a signal that can pass an ascii character.
Issue:
Keyboard does not have 'a' and 'A'. It only has an 'A'. That means, I cannot directly send any lower case characters using the event (Which is not correct)
Solution:
The solution is simple. The constructor of QKeyEvent can take QString as one of its argument. The signature is as follows:
|
| QKeyEvent ( Type type, int key, Qt::KeyboardModifiers modifiers, const QString & text = QString(), bool autorep = false, ushort count = 1 ) |
Even if we don't pass the QString, it will work. However, by passing the QString, we can control exactly what will be displayed.
This is how I create my QKeyEvent:
void MyWebView::rcvKeys(int k)
{
char str[2];
str[0]=k;
str[1]='\0';
QKeyEvent *k=new QKeyEvent(QEvent::KeyPress,k,Qt::NoModifier,QtString(str),false,0)
//-----------Pass it to postevent etc
}
}
