Moin,
I am looking at directFB from a Qt point of view right now.
With Qt5 the QWS system will go away and I am trying to figure
out which features are lost by doing this.
>From a quick look (also the reason to use the user list) I
have not found a directFB API for Input Method support, maybe
you can help me to find it.
Currently with QWS the following is possible:
- The QWSInputMethod[3] of the QWSServer[1] is called for focus
changes. I assume I can use the IDirectFBWindows interface
and supply a DFBWindowsWatcher to get such a feature.
- The QWSInputMethod can use the qwsServer singleton to query
the remote application[2]. The integer parameter of
sendIMQuery is one of the enum values of Qt::InputMethodQuery.
- The application will respond asynchronously to this request.
Usage:
E.g. with WebKit the controls on a page are no Widgets, so one
can use the ImMicroFocus to get the rect of the area the input
is happening (e.g. to place a a window close to this location)
does directFB support such a feature? are there plans to add them?
