Re: Qt question: How to automatically enable numeric input mode for a field?
use input method hints - Original Message - From: Sudheer K. Sent: 05/13/10 11:04 PM To: Maemo Dev Mailing List Subject: Qt question: How to automatically enable numeric input mode for a field? Hi, I want to create a phone number field (QLineEdit) in my configuration widget. User can enter numbers and '+' or 'p' characters in the field. The key thing is I don't want the users to use the Fn key everytime they have to edit the number. Application should automatically enable number entry and allow users to enter numbers only. Users can use Fn key to enter '+' or 'p' if needed. The expected functionality is similar to adding a new phone number for a contact in addressbook. How can I do this in Qt?

RE: Qt question: How to automatically enable numeric input mode for a field?
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. -krk969 - Original Message - From: Sudheer K.

It will switch the physical and virtual keyboard to numeric input only. I guess I will use it at this moment (I don't really need p and + characters in the field). Thanks for your help.
