QT inputbox widget with Native virtual keyboard   
Hi
is there anyway to integrate QT input box widget with RIM playbook QNX NDK virtual keyboard?
We are working for using QT for QNX platform, but so far blocked by the virtual keyboard. I would be grateful if QT team
 can give us some advice.

Thanks

Re: QT inputbox widget with Native virtual keyboard   
Not 100% sure I understand your intent, but it appears you want to use the Playbook popup keyboard on a QNX embedded 
device (not Playbook)?   If so, I would NOT expect that to be possible.  

The popup keyboard on Playbook runs only in the AIR framework.  At present, there is no AIR framework for non-Playbook 
QNX devices.  

It seems you should be able to find some Qt source for a popup keyboard somewhere - though I haven't looked...

Re: QT inputbox widget with Native virtual keyboard   
QNX Qt is compiled to use the 6.5 graphics framework or "gf".  Playbook uses a newer framework which is incompatible 
with programs written for "gf".  As such, QNX 6.5 Qt applications cannot be expected to run on Playbook.

See http://tamsblackberry.tamoggemon.com/2011/06/06/qt-for-playbook-the-first-trials/ - someone tried Qt on Playbook and
 reported his findings.
