Slide Up Window (Messenger Style)

[December]

Hi all,

I need to make a slide-up window (in the right bottom corner of the screen, just like MSN Messenger does when someone sends you a message)..

Can anyone point me in the right direction.. I was thinking of using a QDialog, but after reading all the docs on that, I'm not sure it's the best approach..

Any ideas?

Use a borderless QWidget together with a QTimer or QTimeLine (Qt4 only) to perform the animation.

Thanks, trying that now.. but ran into another problem! How do I find the width / height of the screen my program is running in? I am looking at QScreen.. is that the right way to go?

Thanks for your help

No, it's QDesktopWidget what you're after...
