Moving a QMdiSubWindow

[philwinder]

Hi,
I'm having troubles moving the position of a sub window in a QMdiArea. When I am in the class that manages the QMdiSubWindow I attempt to move it via:

this->move(200,100);

this->move(200,100);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

However it doesnt work.

For an example, look at the Mdi example in the Qt Folder\examples\mainwindows\mdi. In the file mdichild.cpp, add the above code to line 55.

Hello!

You should call move(...) for QMdiSubWindow, not for the widget (QTextEdit) inside it.
Please modify createMdiChild method in Qt Folder\examples\mainwindows\mdi\mainwindow.cpp, ln199:

MdiChild *MainWindow::createMdiChild()
{
    MdiChild *child = new MdiChild;
    QMdiSubWindow *sub = mdiArea->addSubWindow(child);    // modified
    sub->move(200,100);                                                         // added
 
    connect(child, SIGNAL(copyAvailable(bool)),
            cutAct, SLOT(setEnabled(bool)));
    connect(child, SIGNAL(copyAvailable(bool)),
            copyAct, SLOT(setEnabled(bool)));
 
    return child;
}

MdiChild *MainWindow::createMdiChild()
{
    MdiChild *child = new MdiChild;
    QMdiSubWindow *sub = mdiArea->addSubWindow(child);    // modified
    sub->move(200,100);                                                         // added

    connect(child, SIGNAL(copyAvailable(bool)),
            cutAct, SLOT(setEnabled(bool)));
    connect(child, SIGNAL(copyAvailable(bool)),
            copyAct, SLOT(setEnabled(bool)));

    return child;
}
