A Qwidget , setparent and Qwindow flags problem.

[tonnot]

I have a custom Qwidget with movement capabilities (using the mouse).
Ok, this QWidget works fine when it is inserted into any other widget, that is, I can move it inside the limits of the widget where I placed it.
Now I'd want to do the same but having this custom QWidget floating on the desktop.

Ok, I have a UI where I have the custom Widget (I prefer to use the designer to design my interface). Now my questions are :
- Can I 'load' only my Custom Widget ? (I dont want neither need the main QWidget)
(Now I have the problem that my Custom widget is moving inside the Ui main QWidget )
- And how can I can say it 'Your parent is this application, but your 'free world' is the desktop'
I hope you understand what I want . Thanks.

Load it where?

- And how can I can say it 'Your parent is this application, but your 'free world' is the desktop'

If I understand correctly what you want then you can't. The only thing you can do is to make your widget a classic window and set a hint on it to bypass the window manager. Then you can use approaches such as these mentioned below to operate on the widget.

Thanks WY.
Anwsering you, to the first. Imagine I have a ui with 25 Qframes (each one for a specific purpose and with different buttons and other widgets). Imagine I want to show a dialog with the Qframe 12 (only). A solution can be : 1.- hide de tab widget where I have organized my 25 Qframes. 2.- Set the parent of Qframe 12 to main layout. 3.- Show the dialog.
I have 24 unused frames. This is the reason because I'd like to have a way to 'load' only the Qframe12.

To the second:
I have now this :

A_analyzer = new A_analyzer(qApp->activeWindow());

A_analyzer = new A_analyzer(qApp->activeWindow());

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Inside A_analyzer constuctor :

Qt::WindowFlags flags = 0;
   flags = Qt::SplashScreen; 
   this->setWindowFlags(flags);
   this->move(0,0)

Qt::WindowFlags flags = 0;
   flags = Qt::SplashScreen; 
   this->setWindowFlags(flags);
   this->move(0,0)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Ok, I see my widget-window without title (this is what I want). But, it would not have to be contained by qApp->activeWindow() ??? this->move(0,0) place the window at top-left of the screen, not at 0,0 of the activeWindow. Maybe the flag SplashScreen let my 'window' can live into the whole desktop?????

Thanks
