Embedded QMainWindow

Message 1 in thread

Hi,

I am trying to build something like an "embedded" QMainWindow, which can 
be layouted into an existing widget. The Widget is supposed to have a 
ToolBar and a Statusbar. The latter is no problem with QWidget and 
QStatusBar, but I despair of creating nice movable QToolBars. I can't get 
it to work without a QMainWindow.

If you could change the widget-flags from Qt::Window  to Qt::Widget for 
QMainWindow it would probably give what I need. But unfortunately 
Qt::Window is OR'ed in in the constructor of QMainWindow. I don't even see 
a chance by subclassing QMainWindow, since it is using the 
QMainWindowPrivate class in it's constructor, so I cannot replace it ...

Can anyone think of a basic approach to solve this Problem? 

Big thanks in advance,

Malte

Malte,
I should be thanking you instead of the other way around. Your question
finally pointed me in the correct direction to fix this problem in my own
code. You should be able to call setAttributes() after constructing the
QMainWindow to change it from Qt::Window to Qt::Widget.

Thanks for the insight, and let me know if that solved your problem,
Tom

Hey Tom,

thanks for the hint :-) Using QMainWindow::setWindowFlags(Qt::Widget) 
right after construction works like a charme :-)
Thanks for pointing me into the right direction :-)

Regards,
Malte
