Issue with isActiveWindow()

[George Neil]

In the examples\mainwindows\mdi

i tried the following code

QList<QMdiSubWindow *> windows = mdiArea->subWindowList();
foreach (QMdiSubWindow *pSubWindow, windows)
{
	bActive = pSubWindow->isActiveWindow();
	bHasFocus = pSubWindow->hasFocus();
}

QList<QMdiSubWindow *> windows = mdiArea->subWindowList();
foreach (QMdiSubWindow *pSubWindow, windows)
{
	bActive = pSubWindow->isActiveWindow();
	bHasFocus = pSubWindow->hasFocus();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I tried with 3 subwindows. Even though only one is active [ie selected], all the subwindows are giving the status as active....Also none of the subwindows are having the focus...Why..?

I'd say this is because those methods are not related to QMdiSubWindow but to the top-level window of your application (which is active). Use QMdiArea::activeSubWindow() to query for the active subwindow.

I have to use the code within plugins and there is NO acces to the main application MdiArea....

QMdiSubWindow::mdiArea() and optionally QWidget::parentWidget() if needed.
