I am using QMainWindow for GUI development of my project..One problem I am Stuck with is blocking all other visible windows from getting input, while one is in operation.
I can not use QDialog.Because rich features of QMainWindow is required.
How can I declare a particular window as modal?
I tried with QWidget::setWindowMOdality().
Here is a demo program, what I tried but it didnt work.
#include <QApplication>
#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QPushButton>
int main(int argc, char **argv){
QApplication a(argc, argv);
QMainWindow *w1 = new QMainWindow();
w1->resize(500,800);
w1->move(100,50);
w1->show();
QMainWindow *w2= new QMainWindow();
w2->resize(800,500);
w2->move(50,50);
w2->show();
w2->setWindowModality(Qt::ApplicationModal);
return a.exec();
}
Try setting the modal flag first, then show the widget.
w2->setWindowModality(Qt::ApplicationModal);
w2->show();
Also you could use QWidget and build the toolbar, menu bar and status bar.
Thanks for your answers, it helped me a lot with blocking the main window
In each of my forms I add that line of code to the constructor
This->setWindowModality(Qt::ApplicationModal);
