You can override the move event, and move the window back to its position every time it gets moved.

Try this:

void MainWindow::moveEvent(QMoveEvent *event)
{
      event->ignore();
}

void MainWindow::moveEvent(QMoveEvent *event)
{
      event->ignore();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

hi yogesh
event.ignore() is not working. below is my code

void MainWindow::moveEvent(QMoveEvent *event)
{
event->ignore();
}

come on, read the docs for move() and QMoveEvent! Work with QMoveEvent::oldPos() (As it is mentioned in the docs for QWidget::moveEvent()!!!)


And if you are not able to solve such an easy task, please use the Newbie section next time. We will help you also there...

hi lykurg,
Thnks for the reply. pls understand my question.
i have tried oldpos() and move(0,0),ignore()
but oldpos(),ignore() is not working completely.
move(0,0) is working but the system hangs on.

Below is my code

void MainWindow::moveEvent(QMoveEvent *event)
{
    pos()=event->oldPos();
    //event->ignore();
    //this->move(0,0);
    //this->pos().setX(0);
    //this->pos().setY(0);
}

void MainWindow::moveEvent(QMoveEvent *event)
{
    pos()=event->oldPos();
    //event->ignore();
    //this->move(0,0);
    //this->pos().setX(0);
    //this->pos().setY(0);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The control goes to moveevent when im moving the window. but im not getting the desired results.

how to disable the MOVE option in the MENU ,[which comes by pressing ALT-SPACEBAR] ?

I want to have a FIXED window, which cannot be moved.
pls direct me to solve this problem
Thnks

void XXX::moveEvent(QMoveEvent *event)
{
  if (QPoint(100,100) != event->pos())
    move(QPoint(100,100));
}

void XXX::moveEvent(QMoveEvent *event)
{
  if (QPoint(100,100) != event->pos())
    move(QPoint(100,100));
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

or you can use a frameless window.

Thnks Lykurg
Its working.
I want one more option.
since the EVENT places the form in new position,
the form is flickering while trying to MOVE. The window is fixed but flickering occurs.
Is there any way to Disable the MOVE option in the MENU [which comes by pressing ALT + SPACE BAR.]
My window is : Frameless MDI window.

im using the setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
But it will be helpful,if we can disable the MOVE option in the menu.

Thnks
