QKeyPress - Simulating key press

https://www.qtcentre.org/threads/153...keyboard-press


I tried the same approach, but not able to get written on the lineEdit widget

Code:

---

ui->lineEdit->setFocus();
QKeyEvent *key_press = new QKeyEvent(QKeyEvent::KeyPress, Qt::Key_X, Qt::NoModifier);
QApplication::sendEvent(ui->lineEdit, key_press);

---

Alternately

Code:

---

QApplication::postEvent(ui->lineEdit, key_press);

---

also didn't succeed.

I tried the below also and didn't get any result.

Code:

---

QKeyEvent key(QEvent::KeyPress, Qt::Key_X, Qt::NoModifier);
QApplication::sendEvent(ui->lineEdit, &key);
if (key.isAccepted()) {
      qDebug()<<"everything is ok";
} else {
      qDebug()<<"something wrong";
}

---

Please suggest what am I missing.
