[Qt-interest] Virtual Keyboard

[Paolo Quadrani]

Hi Girish,
thanks a lot for the answer. That's what exactly I'm going to do. I gave up with Google search :)
Now I'm going to implement specific code following the bridge pattern approach to make platform dependent implementation.
I've just finished the Mac OSX part, now going on Windows and then Linux.

Cheers.

Paolo
