Hi all
I work on project in qt embedded on linux - arm board.
I use eglfs plugin (instead of x11) - write the screen directly to the frame buffer.
I understand that I can't use multiple windows in my application. just one main window. is it true?
Is there any way that I can use multiple windows? This is pretty annoying because I need to handle many views in one stackedwidget.
Need your support on this and what is the best practice.

eglfs talks to the system's framebuffer, which does not have support for windows.Quote:

Not Qt specific of course, that is a system setup thing.
Not sure what that has to do with multiple windows. A QStackedWidget is never multiple windows, it is one widget showing one of many pages.Quote:

Just explain myself:
When I say "very annoying" I mean to work all the time with the stackwidget. Sometimes I need that the app open a new confirmation window like a window/div/rect/whatever . I need this to be opened on the mainwindow
and i find it very painfull.
The switching between pages inside the stackwidget control is annoying too.
Another example : I want to develop a virtual keyboard and i can't develop that in different window. what options do i have? i dont want to develop it in every page that contain the keyboard. what the re-use best practice for this situation?
Ah, I see, you meant that you are currently using a stacked widget as a workaround for not having windows.
As far as I can see you have two options:
1) implement your own "windowing system" inside your application
2) use an existing windowing system and the appropriate QPA for Qt
