window stacking order

[nupul]

I have an app that gives rise to say 4 windows. I want the top level window (which is full screen)to be the Lowest in the stacking order. Now even when the user clicks on the top level window It shouldn't be raised...else it'll completely hide the child windows. Can I use the Qwidget::lower() function for this? Will It fulfill the above criteria?



Thanks

Wouldn't it be better to use some window flags for it?

BTW. (I don't know if this is the case here) If you have a parent-child relationship between windows, the child will always be on top of its parent.

Which ones could achieve the effect i mentioned?

Yes, but if I focus on the parent won't the parent window show (i.e. overlap the children)? I don't want the child to be modal, i just want the parent window to be at the bottom of the stacking order!

#include <QApplication>
#include <QDialog>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QDialog dlg1;
  QDialog dlg2(&dlg1);
  dlg1.show();
  dlg2.show();
  return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QDialog>

int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QDialog dlg1;
  QDialog dlg2(&dlg1);
  dlg1.show();
  dlg2.show();
  return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Compile, run and try to make dlg1 appear on top of dlg2.

Check which flags KDE uses for its "stay on bottom" window behaviour.
