setparent/setparentitem for window

[qtexpert]

Hi,

I have a window, then I create a new window and want to show it within the first window(with showing title window/minimize window, and it should be movable only within the first window). But set parent does not work.

QQmlApplicationEngine engine;    
    QQmlComponent component(&engine, QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"));
 
    QObject *m_visual = component.create();
    QQuickWindow *window = (QQuickWindow *)m_visual;
 
 
 
    QQmlApplicationEngine engine_sub;
    QQmlComponent component_sub(&engine_sub, QUrl("qrc:/window2.qml"));
 
    QObject *m_visual_sub = component_sub.create();
 
 
 
    QQuickWindow *window_sub = (QQuickWindow *)m_visual_sub;
    m_visual_sub->setParent(m_visual);
    ((QQuickItem *)m_visual_sub)->setParentItem(window->contentItem());

QQmlApplicationEngine engine;    
    QQmlComponent component(&engine, QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"));

    QObject *m_visual = component.create();
    QQuickWindow *window = (QQuickWindow *)m_visual;



    QQmlApplicationEngine engine_sub;
    QQmlComponent component_sub(&engine_sub, QUrl("qrc:/window2.qml"));

    QObject *m_visual_sub = component_sub.create();



    QQuickWindow *window_sub = (QQuickWindow *)m_visual_sub;
    m_visual_sub->setParent(m_visual);
    ((QQuickItem *)m_visual_sub)->setParentItem(window->contentItem());

Thank you so much!

The owner can be set, but the parent is a read-only property.

var w = new Window ();
w.Owner = Window.GetWindow (this);
w.Show ();

var w = new Window ();
w.Owner = Window.GetWindow (this);
w.Show ();

[d_stranz]

var w = new Window ();
w.Owner = Window.GetWindow (this);
w.Show ();

What is this? It isn't Qt code. It isn't even C++, it's C#. So why are you posting this in a Qt forum?
