Detailed Description

Provides the Qtopia InputMethod service.

The InputMethod service enables applications to adjust the input method that is being used on text entry fields.

The messages in this service are sent as ordinary QCop messages on the QPE/InputMethod channel. The service is provided by the Qtopia server.

Normally applications won't need to send these messages directly, as they are handled by methods in the QtopiaApplication class.

See also QtopiaApplication.

Member Function Documentation

void InputMethodService::hideInputMethod ()   [slot]

Explicitly hide the current input method.

The current input method may still indicated in the taskbar, but no longer takes up screen space, and can no longer be interacted with.

This slot corresponds to the QCop message hideInputMethod() on the QPE/InputMethod channel.

See also showInputMethod().

void InputMethodService::inputMethodHint ( int hint, int windowId )   [slot]

Set the input method hint for windowId. The valid values for hint are specified in QtopiaApplication::InputMethodHint. This message should not be used if the Named hint is requested.

This slot corresponds to the QCop message inputMethodHint(int,int) on the QPE/InputMethod channel.

void InputMethodService::inputMethodHint ( const QString & hint, int windowId )   [slot]

This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.

Set the input method hint for windowId. This message should be used for Named hints.

This slot corresponds to the QCop message inputMethodHint(QString,int) on the QPE/InputMethod channel.

void InputMethodService::showInputMethod ()   [slot]

Explicitly show the current input method.

Input methods may be indicated in the taskbar by a small icon. If the input method is activated (shown) then it takes up some proportion of the bottom of the screen, to allow the user to interact (input characters) with it.

This slot corresponds to the QCop message showInputMethod() on the QPE/InputMethod channel.

See also hideInputMethod().
