Making a window disappear :o (without magical powers)
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I would like my app to disappear from the "window list" at the bottom of the
screen (I believe the right name is "the taskbar") when I minimize the
window. I already set up a systray icon on minimize event (so that I can
control my app only from the systray!).
But I can't find a way to do that, I tried the QWidgets method hide() but it
doesn't work and I can't find any other clue on the method to use...
Could someone please help me ? :)

I think you need to change it to tool-window, at least on Windows.

Have you had a look at the QTDIR/examples/desktop/systray/ application
before asking your question? It seems to me that it has this "feature". ;)

Yes, of course I looked at it :D
In fact, that's how I learned how to create a systray icon. But strangely,
this part didn't work for me :(
(I just checked at the example and it seems they use the hide function too :

Did you notice that the Window class in said example is derived from
QWidget, not QDialog or QMainWindow? Perhaps that's the spell you need,
or setting appropriate window flags; see <doc/html/qt.html#WindowType-enum>.
