Modal QDialog inside QMdiArea

[Nesbitt]

Hi

I am trying to use modal (Qt::WindowModal) QDialog inside QMdiArea and it doesn't work.
Here is example code:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QApplication app(argc, argv);
	QMainWindow mainWin;
 
	QMdiArea* area = new QMdiArea();
	mainWin.setCentralWidget(area);
 
	//window 1
	QWidget* w = new QWidget();
	w->setWindowTitle("w");
 
	QVBoxLayout* layout = new QVBoxLayout();
	layout->addWidget(new QLineEdit());
	layout->addWidget(new QTextEdit());
	layout->addWidget(new QPushButton("B1"));
	w->setLayout(layout);
 
	area->addSubWindow(w);
 
	//window 2
	QWidget* w2 = new QWidget();
	w2->setWindowTitle("w2");
 
	QVBoxLayout* layout2 = new QVBoxLayout();
	layout2->addWidget(new QLineEdit());
	layout2->addWidget(new QTextEdit());
	layout2->addWidget(new QPushButton("B2"));
	w2->setLayout(layout2);
 
	QMdiSubWindow* sw2 = area->addSubWindow(w2);
 
	mainWin.show();
 
	//dialog
	QDialog d(sw2);// block window 2
	d.setWindowTitle("d");
	d.setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);
 
	QVBoxLayout* layout3 = new QVBoxLayout();
	layout3->addWidget(new QLineEdit());
	layout3->addWidget(new QLineEdit());
	layout3->addWidget(new QPushButton("B3"));
	d.setLayout(layout3);
 
	area->addSubWindow(&d);
	d.exec();
 
	return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QApplication app(argc, argv);
	QMainWindow mainWin;

	QMdiArea* area = new QMdiArea();
	mainWin.setCentralWidget(area);
	 
	//window 1
	QWidget* w = new QWidget();
	w->setWindowTitle("w");

	QVBoxLayout* layout = new QVBoxLayout();
	layout->addWidget(new QLineEdit());
	layout->addWidget(new QTextEdit());
	layout->addWidget(new QPushButton("B1"));
	w->setLayout(layout);

	area->addSubWindow(w);
		
	//window 2
	QWidget* w2 = new QWidget();
	w2->setWindowTitle("w2");

	QVBoxLayout* layout2 = new QVBoxLayout();
	layout2->addWidget(new QLineEdit());
	layout2->addWidget(new QTextEdit());
	layout2->addWidget(new QPushButton("B2"));
	w2->setLayout(layout2);

	QMdiSubWindow* sw2 = area->addSubWindow(w2);
	 
	mainWin.show();

	//dialog
	QDialog d(sw2);// block window 2
	d.setWindowTitle("d");
	d.setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);

	QVBoxLayout* layout3 = new QVBoxLayout();
	layout3->addWidget(new QLineEdit());
	layout3->addWidget(new QLineEdit());
	layout3->addWidget(new QPushButton("B3"));
	d.setLayout(layout3);

	area->addSubWindow(&d);
	d.exec();
	 
	return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Dialog should block window 2, but it deasn't block anything. It looks like ordinary window.

What is the correct way to do this?

Thank you.

I'm also trying to do something like that.

I want to have a number of QMdiArea tabs, and in every of them - modal window stack.

It's not working probably because QMdiSubWindow handles all the stuff and it's not modal dialog by origin...
