widget swap/widget on top

[ad3d]

Hi guys,

if i press a button on mainwindow i want another widget i.e. widget1 to popup, but that widget1 should be on top and the mainwindow should be disabled.. same should happen if i try to open a new widget i.e. widget2 by pressing a button on widget1 (widget 2 should be on top and other 2 widgets should be disabled)

in this process i dont want to hide the disabled widgets/windows..

Can someone plz guide me to achieve the same..

Thanx in advance

Regards,

Hello,

Try using a QDialog instead of a QWidget, then use QDialog::exec();

HTH. :)

exec() in QDialog serves a purpose of showing dialog as modal widget.
To achieve the same effect but using QWidget set modality parameter. Something along this line should help You:


QWidget *w = new QWidget( this, Qt::Window );
w->setWindowModality( Qt::ApplicationModal );
w->show();
This will create modal widget, all mouse.keyboard input are redirected to this widget.

But while using modality one must HIDE and SHOW the widgets...

I need to Disable the Widget Background and keep the Top level widget enabled..

You don't hide anything, just create new widget, with is by default hidden/invisible/unpainted into screen, and then show it.
