Sending keystrokes to QT applications

Steven Raasch

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 "application" 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
