Automatic focus for QLineEdits as edit ends

[dlewin]

hi,

In a Nokia N8 is a form with 4 QLineEdit that accept each part of a code like this :
if my code is 1acode - 2bcode - 3ccode - 4dcode

QLine1 : 1acode
QLine2 : 2bcode
QLine3 : 3ccode
QLine4 : 4dcode

the problem is that the edition windows from the phone appears when finger clickin in the line edit. I don't know how to manage it to
go automatically to the next QLine when I entered all my code part.

For example with QLine1 when I finished to enter "1acode" the QLine2 get the focus to let me enter the 2nd part "2bcode", etc

Hi,

Are you using a validator for the line edits? If so, the focus could be changed to the next editor when the current one has valid content (do the codes have a fixed length?). Alternatively, you could switch the focus whenever the user closes the virtual keyboard (see here).

No I don't use a validator, even if I saw the event in the QLineEdit doc, more by lack of knowledge about validator.

do the codes have a fixed length?).

Yes the maxlength property is set

The example wich you link to is exactly what I need : knowing when the virt keyb is closed. But as my application is dedicated also for PC, the cross platform constraints (S60 only) avoid using this solution.
I think that I have to dig in the validator use ...
