application that is not hidden when inactive
Hi everyone,
I want to build an application that shows up in front of other applications. Basically that it doesn't hide when it isn't the active window. Is it possible to do this with Qt. Even better it might be to allow it to show up in the task bar or dock. What classes in Qt could I look at to do something like this.

Have a look at Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint.

As a side note, AFIK, this behavior depends on the window manager, so it could be that some native code will be needed on some systems.

Do you write clean code? - if you are TDD'ing then maybe, if not, your not writing clean code.
