## Property Documentation

anchorPosition : int `[read-only, since QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.2]`

This property is changed when the anchor position changes.

This property was introduced in QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.2.

anchorRectIntersectsClipRect : bool `[read-only]`

Holds `true` if the bounding rectangle of the selection anchor intersects the exposed input item rectangle.

See also Qt::ImAnchorRectangle and Qt::ImInputItemClipRectangle.

anchorRectangle : rect `[read-only, since QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.1]`

This property is changed when the anchor rectangle changes.

This property was introduced in QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.1.

animating : bool

Use this property to set the animating status, for example during UI transitioning states.

capsLockActive : bool `[read-only, since QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.4]`

This property is changed when the caps lock status changes.

This property was introduced in QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.4.

cursorPosition : int `[read-only]`

This property is changed when the cursor position changes.

cursorRectIntersectsClipRect : bool `[read-only]`

Holds `true` if the bounding rectangle of the input cursor intersects the exposed input item rectangle.

See also Qt::ImCursorRectangle and Qt::ImInputItemClipRectangle.

cursorRectangle : rect `[read-only]`

This property is changed when the cursor rectangle changes.

inputEngine : InputEngine `[read-only]`

This property stores the input engine.

inputMethodHints : int `[read-only]`

This property is changed when the input method hints changes.

keyboardObserver : KeyboardObserver `[read-only, since QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 6.1]`

Holds the keyboard observer object, which can be used to receive notifications of keyboard change events.

This property was introduced in QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 6.1.

locale : string `[read-only]`

This property is changed when the input locale changes.

preeditText : string

This property sets the pre-edit text.

selectedText : string `[read-only]`

This property is changed when the selected text changes.

selectionControlVisible : bool `[read-only]`

Holds `true` if the selection control is currently visible.

shiftActive : bool `[read-only, since QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.4]`

This property is changed when the shift status changes.

This property was introduced in QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.4.

surroundingText : string `[read-only]`

This property is changed when the surrounding text around the cursor changes.

uppercase : bool `[read-only, since QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.2]`

This property is `true` when either shiftActive or capsLockActive is `true`.

This property was introduced in QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard 2.2.

## Method Documentation

void clear()

Clears the pre-edit text.

void commit()

Commits the current pre-edit text.

void commit(string text, int replaceFrom = 0, int replaceLength = 0)

Commits the final text to the input item and optionally modifies the text relative to the start of the pre-edit text. If replaceFrom is non-zero, the text replaces the contents relative to replaceFrom with a length of replaceLength.

void sendKeyClick(int key, string text, int modifiers = 0)

Sends a key click event with the given key, text and modifiers to the input item that currently has focus.
