Im wondering if this is feasable to do or would be more work than it is worth. I have 2 QMainWindows currently which work fine. (QT4.3.0) I know I can put them into a QSplitter and use it that way, however, how hard would it be to make it so that the QSplitter can be used as a splitter OR as 2 seperate QMainWindows if the user chooses to switch between either mode on the fly? Or is this a lot of work...or not even possible? A coworker suggested putting both of the QMainwindows into seperate dockwidgets, and then each dockwidget into the QSplitter, so the user could undock it if he wanted to. Im unsure that will even work. Comments? Thanks, Jeff -- [ signature omitted ]
Its actually pretty easy.... If its "all or nothing" then have three windows, 2 being the qmainwindows 1 being the splitter. Have a toggle slot, that removes the widgets from the splitter and sets the parents to NULL, and does a show/move , and hides the splitter (or deletes it depending on your exact needs) When its recombining them, recreate (or show) the splitter, and read add the qmainwindows. The docking method could also work, but would change the frames, and would leave the splitter around.

I have a related question.
I am tring to put a mainWindow inside another widget in the following
way but
the main window is opening as a seperate window and not insode the
parent widget.
What am I doing wrong here ?
MainQtWindow::MainQtWindow(QWidget *parent)
{
m_bIsWindowCreated = false;
main = new QMainWindow(parent);
m_scene = new QGraphicsScene();
m_scene->setSceneRect(0,0,600,800);
m_view = new GraphicsView(m_scene, main);
QDockWidget *dock = new QDockWidget(("Property View"), main);
dock->setAllowedAreas(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea |
Qt::RightDockWidgetArea);
dock->setFeatures(QDockWidget::AllDockWidgetFeatures);
QListWidget *customerList = new QListWidget(dock);
customerList->addItems(QStringList()
<< "John Doe, Harmony Enterprises, 12 Lakeside, Ambleton"
<< "Jane Doe, Memorabilia, 23 Watersedge, Beaton"
<< "Tammy Shea, Tiblanka, 38 Sea Views, Carlton"
<< "Tim Sheen, Caraba Gifts, 48 Ocean Way, Deal"
<< "Sol Harvey, Chicos Coffee, 53 New Springs, Eccleston"
<< "Sally Hobart, Tiroli Tea, 67 Long River, Fedula");
dock->setWidget(customerList);
main->setCentralWidget(m_view);
main->addDockWidget(Qt::RightDockWidgetArea, dock);
main->show();
m_bIsWindowCreated = true;
}
Thnx

Your child QMainWindow's parent is probably NULL..
Your setting it to QMainWindow( parent) ie, its parent will be the same
as MainQtWindow's parent (probably null)
Instead, change main=new QMainWindow( parent ) to new QMainWindow( this
)

That too dosent work :-( . Incidently, If I put the QMainWindow inside a
QSplitter, it works fine..
MainQtWindow::MainQtWindow(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent)
{
m_bIsWindowCreated = false;
//splitter = new QSplitter(Qt::Horizontal, parent);
main = new QMainWindow(this);
m_scene = new QGraphicsScene();
m_scene->setSceneRect(0,0,600,800);
m_view = new GraphicsView(m_scene, main);
QDockWidget *dock = new QDockWidget(("Property View"), main);
dock->setAllowedAreas(Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea |
Qt::RightDockWidgetArea);
dock->setFeatures(QDockWidget::AllDockWidgetFeatures);
QListWidget *customerList = new QListWidget(dock);
customerList->addItems(QStringList()
<< "John Doe, Harmony Enterprises, 12 Lakeside, Ambleton"
<< "Jane Doe, Memorabilia, 23 Watersedge, Beaton"
<< "Tammy Shea, Tiblanka, 38 Sea Views, Carlton"
<< "Tim Sheen, Caraba Gifts, 48 Ocean Way, Deal"
<< "Sol Harvey, Chicos Coffee, 53 New Springs, Eccleston"
<< "Sally Hobart, Tiroli Tea, 67 Long River, Fedula");
dock->setWidget(customerList);
main->setCentralWidget(m_view);
main->addDockWidget(Qt::RightDockWidgetArea, dock);
// splitter->addWidget(main);
// splitter->show();
main->show();
m_bIsWindowCreated = true;
}

Maybe this is a silly question, based on not knowing your full
project...
Why not have MainQTWindow derive from QMainWindow, and skip the top
level QWidget....

That is because, this would be a QT dll which would be hosted from an
MFC dll,
so the parent would be a QWinWidget which would then host a QT view...
I tried making the QMainWindow directly a child of "parent", but that
dosent work either :-(
It seems to me, from trying out various combinations, that Mainwindow
should not have a parent.
(even though the constructor allows it). Conceptually also makes sense,
since MainWindow
should be the Top-level window.

For what its worth, I had a similar problem. If I remember correctly, I had
to add a layout to the parent widget (a QVBoxLayout is fine) and construct
the QMainWindow with a NULL parent pointer and then use
QBoxLayout::addWidget() to put the QMainWindow in the parent.
Let me know if this works for you,

Yeah. I have tried smthg similar. I put the QMainWindow() (without a
parent) inside a QSpliitter and it works...

Its actually pretty easy....
If its "all or nothing" then have three windows, 2 being
the
qmainwindows 1 being the splitter.
Have a toggle slot, that removes the widgets from the
splitter and sets
the parents to NULL, and does a show/move , and hides
the splitter (or
deletes it depending on your exact needs)
When its recombining them, recreate (or show) the
splitter, and read add
the qmainwindows.
The docking method could also work, but would change the
frames, and
would leave the splitter around.

Why are you trying to use the mainWindow? It seems to be designed to be a top level widget. It has a menubar, toolbar, and a status bar basically built in. You don't seem to want them in this app, so why not just use a layout. You seem to be trying to force a mainWindow to function as a layout anyway. Aside from the oddness of starting a qt app from a mfc app, exactly what is the parent widget? -- [ signature omitted ]

Scott-
Thanks again. I tried this. I triggered a button in my window to
switch modes,
set both QMainWindow parents to 0 and they both disappear. Their icons
arent
in the bottom bar and I even tried move()ing them but dont see them. I
assume
setting them to 0 is the same as before I used the splitter since their
parent defaults
to 0, which should be the top level.
This is my flow:
main:
QSplitter *split = new QSPlitter();
Qmain1 win1(args);
Qmain2 win2(args);
QMain1:
- set Action/buttons and connect to togWin()
togWin():
m_win1->setParent(0);
m_win2->setParent(0);
m_split->hide();
QMain2:
Sorry if Im not understanding something, I appreciate your patience.
