Hi,

And welcome to the boards! The magic keyword that helps with this one is InputMethodHints.

Hello, I also have the same case. I need the virtual numeric keyboard when the user touches the line edit. How can I even show the virtual keyboard? I used this and it's not showing:

ui->txtDay->setAttribute(Qt::WA_InputMethodEnabled);
//QApplication:ostEvent(ui->txtDay, new QEvent(QEvent::FocusIn));
QApplication:ostEvent(ui->txtDay, new QEvent(QEvent::RequestSoftwareInputPanel));
ui->txtDay->setInputMethodHints(Qt::ImhDigitsOnly);

txtDay is the lineedit control. What am I missing? I'm currently running my program using Qt Simulator in Symbian^3. Target device is N8.

I've also found this link http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...y_symbian3.zip. I believe that should work for Symbian^3 but nothing happens when I change the text edit. It seems that it can't detect the virtual keyboard hence it's not showing? Is it because I'm only using a simulator for Symbian^3?

Simulator AFAIK does not have virtual keyboard. Simulator is only having S60-mockup style with your choice of desktop Qt .
Check how your app behaves in the N8.
