This is the current path we are going down. The problem is also the titlebar differences between windows and linux

We do it with some very hairy code that probably would make Thiago throw up. We fake the modal nature of this partially modal window by installing an event filter on the application. Then we just block all the events that shouldn't get through. Getting the choice of events right can be very tricky! The ugliest bit is responding to window activation to force the active window back to the one we want to be active. Hopefully, someone has a better solution to this problem! > On Jul 29, 2021, at 3:21 PM, Scott Bloom <sc...@towel42.com> wrote: > > Here is my problem. > > I have a progress dialog, that I need to be able to use as a modal dialog > with respect to the main window (a QMainWindow class, which is also its > parent widget). > > But, I need to still be able to minimize the main application and even move > it. > > Any ideas on the best way to implement something like this? > > Scott > _______________________________________________ > Interest mailing list > Interest@qt-project.org > https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest -John Weeks
