Issues updating to QMdiArea

[vcp]

In first case also I think that the button close doesn't sense. But I note that the majority of the users use even the button X or an any shortcut defined.
But I don't know. ..I think that a question of conception.

To open you subwindow try use resize();

pieceViewForm->resize(300,400);
pieceViewForm->show();

Maybe help you.

I have found with my QMdiSubWindows that I need to do a setWidget(myWidget) in my subwindow class constructor. Also, within the myWidget that is in the subwindow class, I have overridden the minimumSizeHint() to return a value.

As for the close, I have not implemented a close inside the subwindow but I think you should be able to do a signal/slot situation outside of the window (if you make the close button accessible) that can hide or delete the window if that is what you want. I do it with a button on the main window.

This was how I had to do it, if anyone cares. Thanks ntp! I just decided to stop arguing about the close button, and use a Close Activate Window button on the MDI Toolbar area.

void nnDBSMainWindow::formView()
{
	nnDBSPieceViewForm *pieceViewForm = new nnDBSPieceViewForm;
	QMdiSubWindow *subWindow1 = new QMdiSubWindow;
	subWindow1->setWidget(pieceViewForm);
	MDIArea->addSubWindow(subWindow1);
	subWindow1->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose);
	subWindow1->show();
	subWindow1->resize(650, 600);
}

void nnDBSMainWindow::formView()
{
	nnDBSPieceViewForm *pieceViewForm = new nnDBSPieceViewForm;
	QMdiSubWindow *subWindow1 = new QMdiSubWindow;
	subWindow1->setWidget(pieceViewForm);
	MDIArea->addSubWindow(subWindow1);
	subWindow1->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose);
	subWindow1->show();
	subWindow1->resize(650, 600);
}

Thanks again to everyone! I don't know where I would be without this forum.
