QSplashscreen, Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint And Title Bar

[Kel Solaar]

Hello

I'm using a QSplashscreen for the starting of my Application, the problem I'm encountering is that when I'm using the Window Flag Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint the QSplashscreen stays on top of every other windows but it also shows a Title bar and a frame ( same on Mac Os X and Windows ).
Anyone have an idea of what to do to avoid this ?

Thx,

KS

I guess you set the window flags using QWidget::setWindowFlags:

QSplashScreen splash(pixmap);
splash.setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);

QSplashScreen splash(pixmap);
splash.setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This goes wrong, because you reset all other flags, especially Qt::SplashScreen.
You should try:

QSplashScreen splash(pixmap);
splash.setWindowFlags(splash.windowFlags() | Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);

QSplashScreen splash(pixmap);
splash.setWindowFlags(splash.windowFlags() | Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

or even simpler:

QSplashScreen splash(pixmap, Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);

QSplashScreen splash(pixmap, Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

because the constructor automatically adds other required flags.

Excellent !
I didn't realised that it was resetting the other flags, but now that make sense. Thanks
