QDialog in the taskbar (Win32)

[Arthur]

Hello,

I have a QDialog, that is shown modal using QDialog::exec(). On my Win32 system, I get an item in the taskbar for this dialog. I always believed that if you set your mainwindow as a parent, this taskbar item dissapears.

I do the following:

QWinWidget winWidget(hWndMain); //WinWidget containing my Win32 mainwindow HWND
 
QMyDialog dlg(&winWidget); //My dialog, a child of winWidget
dlg.exec();

QWinWidget winWidget(hWndMain); //WinWidget containing my Win32 mainwindow HWND

QMyDialog dlg(&winWidget); //My dialog, a child of winWidget
dlg.exec();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Is there any other way of hiding the taskbar item for my QDialog?

Could you try to remove the system menu from your dialog? I remember that I have read something that a taskbar entry only appears when a certain element from the titlebar is visible . You can hide the system menu by removing Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint

from windowFlags:

It doesn't make a difference.

Any update on this topic?

I have a QWidget that I don't want to appear in the Taskbar. For a while I was using the Qt::Tool flag, but that can have weird effects when you try to use -that- widget as a parent of QDialogs (possibly of all widgets)?

Anyway, I tried using the Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint as mentioned above and it did not work for me either.

Thanks,
Daniel

My problem was forgetting to pass the pointer to the mainwindow to the QDialog constructor, like this

<code>

QMyDialog(QWidget * pParent) :
QDialog(pParent)
</code>

In stead, I passed NULL, which is not so smart of course...
