On Screen Keyboard Display Issue

cmorley wrote: What code did you use to change the font on initialization?

[strike]I tried:
self.w.gcode_display.setMarginsFont(font)

and:
text = bytearray(str.encode('Arial'))
self.w.gcode_display.SendScintilla(QsciScintilla.SCI_STYLESETFONT, QsciScintilla.STYLE_DEFAULT, text)

But they are now commented out and I cannot remember which one worked. As soon as a file was loaded it reverted to the original default.

Edit: added text = code that I forgot earlier...[/strike]

Edit2: This worked:

I submitted a little issue on github. Have a look. I would like to test your version today !

I can load it on a buster rip master branch and a buster local master branch installation.
There is a path issue with 2.8 branch that affects the sim panel so I moved some files and it also works on stretch for rip and local.

It seems fonts are much more complicated then i may first seem.
There are default fonts, default lexer font and individual lexer style fonts.

For now try this:

I'll need to add convience method to make this easier in the future.

Sorry, I forgot to give this a try yesterday. I quick tryout this morning and it looks good, Thank you.

Edit: It worked in a GcodeDisplay as well.

i add the ability to set background color, lexer text colors. lexer text fonts with stylesheets in master. There are basic docs about it under 'qtvcp widgets'

Hopefully they are useful to you as you can change the colors that work with the rest of the screens colors.

Chris

Cool, I'll take a peek . I have just about finished the color changing stuff

I was just looking for virtual keyboard. I'll be watching this with great interest. Thank You.

based on your other post I think you are looking for a virtual keyboard for the system rather then the screen.
matchbox and onscreen keyboard are system widget virtual keyboards.

Thew virtual keyboard in wtvcp only works for the qtvcp screen.

Thanks Chris,

I mainly want it for doing MDI keyins or offset values and the like while I am in QTDragon. I did install the virtual keyboard "Florence" and it does work but what was shown here looks much more conveniant to use while in QTDragon. If I am doing other stuff I'll just use my physical keyboard and mouse.

QtDragon has a builtin keyboard for MDI and offsets. should be a button on the top right of the tabs - 'KEYBD"
