Any trick to have 'subwindows' without loosing the main window focus ?

[ChrisW67]

So your complaint is that when your main program opens the secondary windows they automatically activate and take focus from the main window. Try:

setAttribute(Qt::WA_ShowWithoutActivating);

setAttribute(Qt::WA_ShowWithoutActivating);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

in the secondary window constructor.
