How to minimize frameless QWidget ?

[anupamgee]

Hi All,
I am using Qt4.5 .I am having a problem in minimizing frameless window while working on linux platform
I used the following code

#include "widget.h"
#include "ui_widget.h"
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QWidget>
Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent): QWidget(parent), ui(new Ui::WidgetClass)
{   
    ui->setupUi(this);
    setFixedSize(293, 711);
   setWindowFlags ( Qt::FramelessWindowHint ) ;
   QPushButton *b=new QPushButton("hello",this);
    b->setGeometry(20,20,120,30);
    connect(b,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(showMinimized()));
}

#include "widget.h"
#include "ui_widget.h"
#include <QPushButton>
#include <QWidget>
Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent): QWidget(parent), ui(new Ui::WidgetClass)
{   
    ui->setupUi(this);
    setFixedSize(293, 711);
   setWindowFlags ( Qt::FramelessWindowHint ) ;
   QPushButton *b=new QPushButton("hello",this);
    b->setGeometry(20,20,120,30);
    connect(b,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(showMinimized()));
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

if i run the same code on Windows platform & MAC operating System it works....

Play with setWindowFlags function and take a look at this example QTDIR/examples/widgets/windowflags.

Thanx for the rep...
i check that example and tried different flags but still nothing changed...
i want to minimize the frameless window on the click of a button....
plzz help...

[talk2amulya]

u can hide the window..achieves the same purpose as minimizing

[anupamgee]

I hv tried hide also...
but problem with hide is that on hiding,the program icon on task bar also gets hidden....
i also want that program icon in task bar on hiding...Is there any way to do that???
Or any other way to minimize frameless widget??

I have the same problem on Linux. If I hide the window manager frame I can't minimize the application (it works if I have the system border). Hiding the window also hides the application on the desktop window list.

Any ideas or workarounds for this problem?
