Frameless QMdiSubWindow

[meadmaker]

Is it possible to do frameless mdisubwindows. I do the "setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint)" on my dialog before i add it to the mdi area but still has the frame on it. Is there another way to make it frameless?

here is the code

navDialog *nav = new navDialog;
nav->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
mdiArea->addSubWindow(nav,Qt::Dialog);
nav->setWindowTitle(QObject::tr("Main Menu"));
nav->show();

navDialog *nav = new navDialog;
nav->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
mdiArea->addSubWindow(nav,Qt::Dialog);
nav->setWindowTitle(QObject::tr("Main Menu"));
nav->show();

I don't think so. What do you need it for?

I wanted to be able to have a "navigation" widget that wouldn't move in the mdiarea. maybe i should rethink that.

But what sense does it make to make it a QMDISubWindow? You want to be able to tile it, cascade it and stuff like that together with other child windows? Maybe just add the widget as a child to the viewport of the MDI if you really need it inside the MDI. If not then place it over or besides the MDI area.

Do like this

...
mdiArea->addSubWindow( nav , Qt::FramelessWindowHint );
...

...
mdiArea->addSubWindow( nav , Qt::FramelessWindowHint );
...

It works
