qmessage box modeless
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I want to create a Messagebox that blocks the control of the problem but not the mouse input to my main window.
How to do it? The .show() function does not block the control, but the .exec() function blocks the mouse input
and control at the same time?
Any suggestions?

What does "block the control of the problem" mean?

Sorry about that,
I meant that this message box should block the function called and let
me manipulate something in the main window.

Thats an odd requirement. But if you know what you are doing, spin your
own event loop for a blocking function call. Something like,
QMessageBox box;
box.setText("asdf");
box.setModal(false); // modeless
box.show();
// blocking event loop until the messagebox is done
QEventLoop l;
QObject::connect(&box, SIGNAL(finished(int)), &l, SLOT(quit()));
l.exec(); // spin event loop
