[maemo-developers] Qt question: How to automatically enable numeric input mode for a field?

[From: Ram Kurvakat]

have you tried this hint ? ( this worked for the spin box, I could use the hardware keyboard without pressing Fn )

Qt::ImhDigitsOnly

Qt::ImhFormattedNumbersOnly didnt work for me , for the spin box , I needed a dot (.) , since I was using a double spinbox. I'll be raising a bug for that, perhaps even the hint you are using below has similar issues.

WHen I spoke to some QT team members , what they told me was this should be done by default for some widgets, for example the spinbox there
shouldnt be a need to explicitly hint, it should be default, so it seems there could be issues to iron out here.

try using the above "working" hint and see how it goes.

Hi Ram,


Here is the code that I am using. The hint is working fine for virtual keyboard, but I am looking for a physical keyboard solution. The physical keyboard input mode should automatically change to numeric for this field. What am I missing here?

 lineEditCallingCardNumber = new QLineEdit(formLayoutWidget);
 lineEditCallingCardNumber->setObjectName(QString::fromUtf8("lineEditCallingCardNumber"));
 lineEditCallingCardNumber->setInputMethodHints(Qt::ImhDialableCharactersOnly);
