Raise another QMainWindow
Message 1 in thread
Hi Everyone,
I have two QMainWindow. Let's say window A and window B.
In window A, I have a menu action needs to "raise" window B
to the front.
But I called window B QMainWindow::raise and QMainWindow::setFocus.
It raised and bring to front no doubt. But the active window is still
window A. I mean "active" is the window title bar is blue under Window
XP environment.
I also tried :
QApplication::setActiveWindow(m_pWindowB);
m_pWindowB->activateWindow();
But they all not working.
Please help me out.
Thanks.
Regards,
Pagan

I had a similar problem some time ago. I remember that after some
experimenting (probably the same stuff that you've tried) I concluded
that my window could not be brought to foreground using Qt. That was
with Qt3.3.5, so things might have changed since then.
I've ended up using the Win32 SetForegroundWindow function that solved
this specifically for Windows.
Hey ... I've just noticed in the documentation of SetForegroundWindow
that this function will not work on Windows 2000/XP if a menu is
active. Could it be that an active menu is preventing Qt from raising
the window in your case?
Martin.
