positioning a window at a specific screen position

**nupul** · 29th March 2006, 16:25

Hey is it possible to always position the window at a predefined location on the screen viz.
left, right, top and bottom, in Qt4?

Also could any one also help me understand the alignment flags in Qt viz
Qt::Alignleft, Qt::AlignBottom etc....where does one use them???

thanks

The setGeometry function in QWidget might be what you're after. It allows you to set the x, y coordinates for the top left corner of your window as well as the size of the window.

For example aligning text in some widgets

See QDesktopWidget and Window Geometry.

The former provides you access to screen information (amount, size..) and the latter gives you hints in positioning widgets.
You can't use aligment flags for this purpose..
