Need to bring Qt application to foreground called from win32 application

[umen]

Hello i have simple win32 application that uses the createProcess method to call Qt application the problem is i like to bring the Qt application to the foreground . who is responsible for this ? the parent win32 app or the Qt application ?

Look at the CreateProcess (CreateProcess Function) this param: LPSTARTUPINFO lpStartupInfo. [IMG]STARTUPINFO[/IMG].

There's a field to set how the window will show, WORD wShowWindow;

You can use the same values that you can use in the ShowWindow Function.

I think if you use this SW_SHOWNORMAL it will work.

this->stackUnder(parentWidget()); [this means your QMainwindow]

Not a answer but some hints:

One application of mine is minimzed to the tray. To bring it to the front again I use this code:

showMinimized(); // This is to bring up the window if not minimized
                       // but beneath some other window
setWindowState(Qt::WindowActive);
showNormal();

showMinimized(); // This is to bring up the window if not minimized
                       // but beneath some other window
setWindowState(Qt::WindowActive);
showNormal();

I've got this code from sowhere but can't remember where. So tribut to the unknown guy who posted it in the wast land of the iternet...
