Our Qt application for Symbian (3rd ed FP1/Fp2, 5th ed n Symbian^3) is complete except for few fixes!
Qt doesn't seem to support key navigation in QWebview for 3rd ed phones! https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTWEBKIT-271
!. How can I navigate through the webpage using navigation keys in non-touch phones?
2. Is there any way to access the next clickable element (like links, login/password input areas) in the QWebview? (so that I can implement navigation by handling kb events)
Currently I have a cursor in the webview using which I click on links, scroll etc, but that's not at all user friendly :(, please help me find a solution!
If it does not work, then it's not implemented in whatever QtWebKit version you are using. The linked bug specifically mentions QtWebKit 2.1 so I guess you just have to update to that version.

Not a good way to start, but pardon me if this if off-topic, it seems like a programming question though...
From an ASP.NET website I want to open a page in a new browser that has a toolbar at top and an iframe-like window at the bottom. The frame-like window will support tabbed browsing and load a third party website. The toolbar will have buttons that allow the user to manipulate the HTML (form-fill and web-scrape). For example, toolbar buttons may be "Extract Webpage Data" or "Fill Form".
Ideally it would work with IE, Edge, Chrome and Safari, but an absolute minimum requirement is IE, a more preferable minimum requirement is Chrome and Edge.
I have seen this done, well, by other proprietary software. I do not know if they require a specific browser (like IE where they can install a plugin) or how they do it, that is my question.
So I have narrowed this problem down to three possibilities:
Use pure HTML, Javascript, et al. - Using an iFrame almost works perfectly but the content will not be in the same domain so I cannot access the iFrame's HTML.
Use (or write) a proprietary browser - I do not think you can (or want) to launch an EXE from a web page, plus this seems rather complex in itself.
Use (or write) a plug-in - Probably limits use to IE. I think an IE plugin could do what I want based on other plugins I've seen.
I have past desktop programming experience with a web automation and scripting product, while promising, I don't think they offer what I need:
They have an ASP.NET COM component that runs server side so it does not display an interface to the user but can be used to silently fill and scrape a website based on scripts.
They also have a proprietary browser that shows a user interface and runs scripts to fill and scrape. But this is an EXE, so cannot be launched from a web site.
They have an IE Plugin, that adds a companion popup window that attaches itself to IE. Similar to their browser and runs scripts.
Question - This can be done, I've seen it, but what is the mechanism? I'm leaning to an IE plugin.
If plugins are the answer, chrome has extensions, is that a possibility?
I have created a simple page with "mdl-layout__header" and other components .Unlike other web pages like google search, nytimes.com etc the browser address bar does not auto show/hide when user scrolls up/down. This could be easily seen in getmdl.io templates too.
Open following links in 2 tabs and try scrolling down

If you searched the issue tracker on Github for the project, you would have found the existing issue about just this and why it exists.
I'm developping an application that needs to run silently in the system tray.
That's why i used this SOLUTION first to hide my application in the System Tray, which is working really nicely.
However at some point my users will need to be notified about things. Like on Skype or Msn, when you get a message you are being notified of it with a popup in the right bottom zone of your display.
I'm looking for a way to reproduce this, i couldn't find anything in the java.awt.SystemTray doc. Is there any native class doing this or should i try to reproduce it by generating a window myself ?
First there is the answer from JavaFX: what is the best way to display a simple message?. This uses a custom popup as javafx from java 8 could not be used by the implementor.
If you can use javafx2 (the one with java 8) you can look at the Controlsfx library found here: Notifications with Controlsfx
I'm in Xcode 6.2 Beta 3 (Build 6C101), I've added a menu and two menu items to my Interface Controller, and created IBActions for both. I've given them titles and images, but when I run the app nothing displays.
I've read
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/ios/documentation/General/Conceptual/WatchKitProgrammingGuide/Menus.html
and can't see anything about need to show menu items programatically - what am I missing?
You do not need to present the menu programmatically. The only thing you need to do is wire each button to IBActions in your Watch app extension.
The most likely issue is caching of the previous Watch app storyboard. Do a clean build and try again.
Finally, as you likely know WatchKit menus only display on a "force press". They cannot be used for the main interface of the Watch app. In the Simulator, a click and hold with the mouse will simulate a force press, and the animation will make it clear when you have done one, even in contexts where it doesn't do anything.
This was solution for me- Go to Hardware->Touch Pressure->Deep Press then try tap on watch simulator.
I have recently encountered this issue on a real device, although the menu was working as expected on the watch simulator. In my case, the problem was in SF Symbol that I've used as an image.
Everything was fixed after replacing it with an image from the assets catalogue.
Im having fun toying with AIR and want to use it to create an application for my TV, but Im coping with a serious & dumb problem : TV ergonomics. Indeed, without a mouse, it is all about focus on elements and moving this focus in a natural fashion.
In HTML this is handled by the browsers perfectly, but in ActionScript Im having a real hard time ! For instance, I don't even know how to have an element on autofocus, so that when I load the app there is already something to click on (without it I just can't interact with my app at all!).
Do you have any idea on the best ways to create a listener for the remote controller arrows and OK button (should be enough) so that I never get stuck in the app ?
So whether you have already struggled with that or if you simply happen to know how to play with the focus and setFocus() parts of Flex, your help is very welcome !
I recommend you look at the Google TV Flash template. It's all about controls and navigation. I'm not sure if this works for Flex as I have not done any gtv development yet.
