Not show the progress bars under another window

[SkripT]

You can use widget.isVisible(), to check if it is hidden by another one !

Sorry guiluigi, that's not truth. Look what the docs says in the QWidget::visible() method:

A widget that happens to be obscured by other windows on the screen is considered to be visible.

I also had thought in this solution...

Moreover, I'd like that the progress bar continues appearing but behind the current window

Could you explain the situation a bit more? Is QProgressBar you want a part of another widget or a standalone one (like QProgressDialog)? You could probably use QApplication::activeWindow() to see if a widget of your choice is currently active.

Thanks wysota, You're right: when I said progress bars I really want to say progress dialog, sorry I will try it with QApplication::activeWindow () i think it will work to show or not the progress dialog. But do you know any other way to show the progress dialog but behind the current/active window? In this way if the current window is not at full screen may be some parts or the totality of the progress dialog is shown if it's not obscured by the current window

The only hint I can give you is that a child dialog is always shown on top of its parent. So a way to decide where a dialog should be shown is to give it a proper parent (and they say one doesn't choose his parents ). You could also use raise() and lower() to manipulate the order of dialogs in the stack.

Ok thanks again, I think that with all this hints I will find a solution.
