how to show Virtual Keyboard

[lucarocchi]

Is it possible to show the Virtual keyboard without having a QLineEdit , and of course get the entered text back and also get keypress events? (Symbian code is also welcome )

1) setFocus to an out of screen QLineEdit
2) QApplication:ostEvent(searchEdit, new QEvent(QEvent::RequestSoftwareInputPanel));

Hi,

I have this piece of code:

 if(NULL== focusIn && NULL==requestKeyboard) {
            focusIn = new QEvent(QEvent::FocusIn);
            requestKeyboard = new QEvent(QEvent::RequestSoftwareInputPanel);
            m_edit = new QLineEdit(this);
            m_edit->setGeometry(1,1,1,1);
            connect(m_edit,SIGNAL(textChanged(QString)),this,SLOT(setText(QString)));
        }
        m_edit->setFocus();
        QApplication::sendEvent(m_edit,requestKeyboard);//&requestKeyboard);

The keyboard is not displayed after running this code.

???

P.S.
I am running Nokia N8 with Symbian^3

i suppose postEvent instead of sendEvent makes the difference
