The following feature needs to be implemented to our existing QT & C++ application.
We have to expand the user typed abbreviations into pre-defined words(s). The functionality we need to implement is something similar to text expander. Say if a user typed “FL”, this needs to be replaced to “Florida” after immediately.

I was able to find out the QT documentation for capturing the key events, but I’m not sure how to modify the keyboard input with pre-defined characters set.

It would be great if you guys provide me some sample code and directions on this.

Thanks in advance!

    Could this example be useful to you ?

    They use a mecanism called completer, that provides different words for a given entry… It’s quite like a dictionnary on a cell phone…

    Custom Completer Example :

    Hope it helps a bit !
