How to hide from taskbar a form showed form mainwindow

[tonnot]

I'm used exec() to show my form in 'modal' way from the main window.

NewForm newform(this);
newform.exec();

NewForm newform(this);
newform.exec();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But, I see the my main app and the second form names at the task bar.
Logically i'm talking about Windows...
Any idea ?
Thanks

Hi!

If NewForm is a descendant of QDialog and this refers to a Widget this should work as it is!

For a normal window you need to set the parent, and the windowFlags to Window if you still want a resizable window frame..

#include <QtCore>
#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
 
    QWidget a;
    a.show();
 
    QWidget b(&a);
    b.setWindowFlags(Qt::Window);
    b.show();
 
    QDialog d(&a);
    d.exec();
 
    return app.exec();
}

#include <QtCore>
#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QWidget a;
    a.show();

    QWidget b(&a);
    b.setWindowFlags(Qt::Window);
    b.show();

    QDialog d(&a);
    d.exec();

    return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The above code produces 3 windows with only one taskbar entry..
