How to use QVirtualKeyboard plugin without using QML?

Question

I have X_Compiled Qt for BeagleBone Black and everything works fine. I've compiled Qt virtual keyboard plugin and I can load keyboard example on the device. I want to use this virtual keyboard in my C++ app. Can anyone show me the right way to do so?

I've also downloaded a plugin and compiled it but I don't know how to use it. Can any one tell me how to use Qt plugins like the two I mentioned above?

first of all make sure that the plugin is in the plugin folfer of Qt installation path and in main file add this line before creating QApplication object.

qputenv("QT_IM_MODULE", QByteArray("qtvirtualkeyboard"));

Any reason keyboard is acting as disabled? It does show when field get focus but it doesn't respond to clicks on the buttons. – Predrag Manojlovic Apr 10 '19 at 19:07
@PredragManojlovic, Is there any validator or inputMask set on the field you are trying to insert text? – a.tabatabaei Apr 17 '19 at 12:04
nope. Simple input field. Is it maybe limited not to respond on mouse clicks? Does it work only on touch events? – Predrag Manojlovic Apr 17 '19 at 17:56
