Removing min/max etc buttons from titlebar of an MDI child ( QWorkspaceChild ) object

[hardgeus]

This is in QT4. I have implemented an MDI application and am trying to remove the top left icon, min, max, and close buttons off of the titlebar of a MDI child window.

When I call AddWindow on my QWorkspace, a QWorkspaceChild object is "wrapped" around my wiget. This enclosing window has min/max/and close buttons as well as an icon on the top left. How do I get rid of them while keeping the titlebar? I tried SetWindowFlags, but that did not do anything. I tried digging through the actual QT code for the class, but everything I need is private.

did u try Qt::WindowTitleHint ?

did u try Qt::WindowTitleHint ?

I tried:

pParent->setWindowFlags( pParent->windowFlags() & Qt::WindowTitleHint );

Tried:

pParent->setWindowFlags( pParent->windowFlags() ^ Qt::WindowTitleHint );

Tried:

pParent->setWindowFlags( pParent->windowFlags() | Qt::WindowTitleHint );


None of it had any effect at all.

try

pParent->setWindowFlags( Qt::WindowTitleHint )

[hardgeus]

try

pParent->setWindowFlags( Qt::WindowTitleHint )

Still nothing.

Its workinig for me. I got only the title bar, without any icon and any button.

You can at least get rid if min/max buttons by passing Qt::Tool as window flags:

workspace->addWindow(widget, Qt::Tool);

workspace->addWindow(widget, Qt::Tool);
