*----------------ORIGINAL REQUEST FOR POST--------------------*

I'm writing a Qt Plugin for QML that gets handset device key data and 
presents it to any QML component via a QInputMethodEvent.

I can't get the QML event portion to work. More specifically, I am 
unable to get sendEvent() to work from my class HandsetInputContext 
which inherits QInputContext.

I originally expected to be able to package up a QInputMethodEvent with 
a key character like 'a' or 'b' or even 'Return-Key' integer and have 
any component expecting input to be able to handle the event providing 
that the component had focus. If that didn't work, I thought I would try 
to send a regular event like QKeyEvent.

Here's a 'honed-down' example of what I've tried:

I first tried this code from within my inherited QInputContext class:

/QInputMethodEvent ime;
ime.setCommitString("SOME_STRING");
sendEvent(ime);/

but it didn't work, so then I tried this code: ("m_target" is a QML 
QObject*, in this particular case it's a TextInput component)

/QString s = QString::number(coreKeyCode);
QKeyEvent keyPress(QEvent::KeyPress, coreKeyCode, Qt::NoModifier, s);
qApp->sendEvent(m_target, &keyPress);   // this returned boolean fail/

this also didn't work, so I tried this code as a sanity-check. It worked 
but it's just being sent to a local QLineEdit

/QString s = QString::number(coreKeyCode);
QLineEdit lineEdit;
qApp->sendEvent(&lineEdit, &keyPress);/  // this worked, returned 
boolean true

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My QML code looks like this. "m_target" is a QObject* gets set from the 
HandsetInputContext's "target:"

import QtQuick 1.0
import MyPlugin 1.0

Rectangle {

     width: 400
     height: 100

     TextInput {
         id: mytext
         text: "Console Catching Keys!"
         anchors.centerIn: parent
     }

     HandsetInputContext {
         id:receiver
         target: mytext
     }
}
