    Good morning, Community. Long time no see.

    I have a project where I have Raspberry Pi with a touch screen and external display. Those are detected as HDMI-1 and SDI-1. Top level idea is that data is displayed over the hdmi, while small full screen widget provides config controls. So far so good, windows end up where they should. The whole setup is meant to be without keyboard, hence small touchscreen - I managed to download and compile and install qt virtual keyboard without a problem.
    On small screen one of the windows requires user to type in some data - I use QInputDialog for that. Dialog appears, so does the virtual keyboard BUT it appears on the wrong screen (hdmi).

    • Is there a way to instruct it to appear on the window where the calling widget is located?
    • Failing that - what other approach I can use? I was thinking of simply designing a floating widget with a set of tool buttons to act as screen keyboard but it seems a bit dirty approach.
      I use Qt Widgets, with native Qt5 from the packet manager. Platform is arm, 64bit.
      Many thanks in advance,
      Artur

    For more information please re-read.

    Kind Regards,
    Artur
