Sending keystrokes to QT applications

I would really like to send keystrokes to a QT application from
another program. The ideal situation would allow me to use STDIN, but
I'm guessing that this is not going to happen.

Keeping in mind that I am NOT an experienced QT programmer, can anyone
help?

Thanks!

I bet you money that somebody among those in Qt mailing list
could, if you just go to the Trolltech's web site and joined
the list... Standard C++, the subject of this newsgroup,
does not define "keystrokes " or "QT" or "applicatio n" or
"sending". Interprocess communication (no matter in what
form it happens) is OS-specific.

Qt is off-topic here, so this isn't really the right newsgroup. Apart
from that, I don't think that this is specific to Qt, but rather to the
window system, so you might ask in a newsgroup specific to your window
system. Another place might be one of the qt mailing lists. See

Hi, I'm having a little problem catching keystrokes under Windows. I did a little research and found that with mscvrt.getch() one can cath a single key that is pressed. However this doesn't work when the program is run on the backround and not as the primary task. What I would like to have is a same sort of function that would also work when the program is being run on the background. I'm trying to implement a program that would listen...

I have a console application (ssh2.exe) that requires keystrokes to be sent to it after activating. I have worked that it needs to be started in it own thread, but capturing the process and sending the keystrokes escapes me at the moment. Is there any material online that describes the process of sending keystrokes to a console app?

I'm trying to enter data into a database application running under Citrix ICA Client. I'm doing it from a VBA macro running under Microsoft Excel 2000 (although it may need to be backwardly compatible with '97). I'm doing this by using appactivate to activate the database application, then sendkeys to send strings of data and tab characters to fill up a series of data fields. Now, this works if Excel is running under Citrix, but if...

Ok... so call me crazy, but I have an idea and I'm looking for where to start... I want to write an application that catches keystrokes and then either redirects them to the in focus window or another window based on some simple rules... in some cases the keystrokes would need to be sent out to multiple windows. I've done part of this in the past using a C++ application to hook the Win32 keyboard API and dispose of unwanted keystrokes...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
