[Qt-interest] [Qt/Mac] Stuck with user focus

[Frank Mertens]

Try again:

OnScreenKeyboard::OnScreenKeyboard()
	: QWidget(0)
{
	setWindowFlags(Qt::Tool|Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
	setFocusPolicy(Qt::NoFocus);
}

void OnScreenKeyboard::mousePressEvent()
{
	// handle click on my on-screen keys
}

That's Qt44 on OS/X? At least for me it works;)
