Hi Matt.



You can see how the scaleHint is calculated here:



http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtvirtualkeyboard.git/tree/src/virtualkeyboard/styles/KeyboardStyle.qml#n60



I’ve created a bug report for the lacking documentation:



https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-58154



PS: this list is for Qt Creator; you’re better off asking on the Interest
mailing list for general Qt stuff.



Cheers.

Question: How Do I Compute the "scaleHint"?

I am developing a custom style for the qtvirtualkeyboard. According to this
page
<http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-virtualkeyboard-styles-keyboardstyle.html#scaleHint-prop>,
it says:

This value is determined by the physical size and the design size of the
keyboard.

I understand that the physical size of the keyboard and the design size of
the keyboard are used to compute the scaleHint, but it doesn't say *how* it
uses those to factors to determine it.

Can someone explain what that actually means and also... how do I compute
the actual value of the scaleHint?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
