Parent Child for window

[febil]

Hi all,
I have a doubt.
I have 2 QMainWindow. Can i make a one QMainWindow as the child of another QMainWindow???

[spirit]

yes, you can.


Test::Test(QWidget *parent)
: QMainWindow(parent)
{
QTabWidget *tabWidget = new QTabWidget();

QWidget *page = new QWidget();
QHBoxLayout *layout = new QHBoxLayout(page);

m_pbNewWindow = new QPushButton(tr("New window"));
layout->addWidget(m_pbNewWindow);
tabWidget->addTab(page, tr("Test"));

connect(m_pbNewWindow, SIGNAL(clicked()), SLOT(newWindow()));

setCentralWidget(tabWidget);
}

void Test::newWindow()
{
Test *test = new Test(this);
test->setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose);
test->show();
}

technically yes, but they wont come one inside another. plus what is your motivation for this atrocity :)

ok...can it be displayed as a pop-up window. i.e. if i click a button from the parent QMainWindow, can pop-up the 2nd QMainWindow??

yes that can happen of course but why a window..why not a widget? would you like to explain why u need such a behaviour. Possibly there might be more efficient ways of attaining your goals

Dear Spirit, i will try based on ur example.

Dear talk2amulya, i have a mainwindow and when i clicked a button from the main window, i need to display another window. This window contains menu, toolbar, tool buttons etc... so i think i need to use QMainWindow.
