QDialog - customize the buttons

**ape** · 10th March 2008, 14:43

Hello

i have implemented my About this app window using Qdialog
so basically i get a small popup which displays some informations about my app.

Code example:

Qt Code:

Switch view

QDialog about(this);
about.setModal(true);
about.setWindowTitle(tr("About my app"));
about.setLayout(mainLayout);

QDialog about(this);
about.setModal(true);
about.setWindowTitle(tr("About my app"));
about.setLayout(mainLayout);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Using this code i get a small window with 2 window-control buttons in the head:
1 x X to close the window
1 x ? which can be used for helpdialogs.

Can i get rid of this question-mark button in the qdialog window ?
Best regards in advance

Have you seen QMessageBox::about()?

Hi,

yeah while checking some other examples from my QT installation i noticed this possible solution.

unfortunaly it seems to not support links and/or html which i was using inside my text.
So i switched back to QDialog.

But thanks for the offered help.

Take a look at window flags and QWidget::setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowFlags type)

Works fine for me...

Qt Code:

Switch view

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMessageBox>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv){
QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QMessageBox::about(0, "title", "<html><body><a href='href'>link</a></body></html>");
  return 0;
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMessageBox>

int main(int argc, char **argv){
QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QMessageBox::about(0, "title", "<html><body><a href='href'>link</a></body></html>");
  return 0;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
