Hi all
Some days ago, I send a question to this community about a clickable QLineEdit.
After getting the Hint to use QMouseEvent, I've written the program which is working almost good but with a small or perhaps big ugliness and that is:
Below is the imgur link to the screenshots of my program after clicking the buttons in sequence:
https://imgur.com/a/rfcP3qB
As you will see in the code blow, I override the QlineEdit widget and define a new class " CustomLineEdit " to generate a "clicked" signal, when the user pressed with mouse on this field.
I use this "CustomLineEdit" class and place it on the MainWindow with the desired "layout".
I couldn't figure out, why this widget is placed not in the MainWindow, but outside this window, as you can see in the top picture of the attached screenshots.
When I take the line 12 (self.show()) from the code, the generated class will not appear.
The problem here is that at the beginning, the MainWindow with a LineEdit field should appear at the program start.
Then, after clicking on this field, the keypad should come up outside the MainWindow.
Could anyone see, where my mistake is?
Thanks for any help.
