Parent Child for window

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

yes, you can.

Code:

---

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??

don't my example work?

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.
