Virtual Keyboard with QT Application and Raspberry Pi in fullscreen mode problem

[gajendran]

I am working with QT 5 on a Raspberry Pi3B+ and Capacitive touch screen. I used the virtual keyboard(matchbox) in my application in fullscreen mode virtual keyboard does not come before the application. It's only running behind my application.
can anyone help me?

Are you using OpenGL or OpenGLES in Qt ? Is it the standard Qt5 that comes with Raspbian ?

[gajendran]

standard Qt4.8.5 X11

[topguy]

How do you start "matchbox" ? system() call ? Some Qt process class ?

[gajendran]

using QProcess to call Keyboard with the following script

Script :-

#!/bin/bash
sudo florence # -s 500x200

[gajendran]

we tried system function also but the onscreen keyboard does not come before application fullscreen mode

system("keyboard.sh")

There is this X11 utility call "xdotool" that can manipulate windows on the desktop.

You could add that to your script.
