Hi, No key-press (or release) events are produced by the virtual keyboard to the main window, so no wonder you're not getting them ;) The keyboard itself is a standalone process with it's own window (AFAIK).
But, the text is committed to the entry through the IMContext API. My suggestions for you would be to create an instance of a GtkIMMultiContext and take the text from there using semi-standard IMContext API. At least you should: 1) gtk_im_context_set_client_window(im_context, this_can_probably_be_your_gtkwindow) 2) connect to the "commit" and "preedit-changed" signals 3) then do gtk_im_context_focus_in() and/or gtk_im_context_show() 4) on "preedit-changed" call for gtk_im_context_get_preedit_string() 5) also give a try on gtk_im_context_hide() and/or gtk_im_context_focus_out() Hope this helps :) / Antti Sebastian Mancke wrote: > Hi, > > Eero Tamminen schrieb: >>> Additionally to this, we have played around with midpath, a J2ME >>> implementation.
