QTextEdit with own wflags

[Pan Wojtas]

How can i create a new QTextEdit (as a new window - not child) with some extra wflags?
The constructor doesn't allow for this - it looks like this:

QTextEdit::QTextEdit( QWidget *parent, const char *name ) : QScrollView( parent, name, WStaticContents | WRepaintNoErase | WResizeNoErase )

QTextEdit::QTextEdit( QWidget *parent, const char *name ) : QScrollView( parent, name, WStaticContents | WRepaintNoErase | WResizeNoErase )

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I could use QWidget::setWFlags, but it doesn't work:

class AAA : public QTextEdit
{
	Q_OBJECT
 
	public:
		AAA::AAA(QWidget * parent) : QTextEdit(parent, "")
		{
			setWFlags(WType_TopLevel | WNoAutoErase | WStyle_Customize | WX11BypassWM | WStyle_StaysOnTop | WDestructiveClose);
 
			setText("aaa");
			show();
		}
};
 
AAA *a;
a = new AAA(0);

class AAA : public QTextEdit
{
	Q_OBJECT
	
	public:
		AAA::AAA(QWidget * parent) : QTextEdit(parent, "")
		{
			setWFlags(WType_TopLevel | WNoAutoErase | WStyle_Customize | WX11BypassWM | WStyle_StaysOnTop | WDestructiveClose);
	
			setText("aaa");
			show();
		}
};

AAA *a;
a = new AAA(0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Qt creates normal window

You could create QVBox with customized flags and QTextEdit inside it.

Yes, but i think it's a little bit stupid to create a new widget with QTextEdit inside, while QTextEdit is also a widget (and can be displayed as a new window as well).

Why QTextEdit's constructor doesn't allow to specify own wflags?

You can use reparent() to change the flags. That should work.
