Creating semitransparent widget over QGraphicsView

[Luc4]

Hi! I'm trying to overlap a transparent widget to a QGraphicsView. I created it with:

MyWidget* widget = new MyWidget(this);
widget->show();

MyWidget* widget = new MyWidget(this);
widget->show();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and I noticed it results not to be semitransparent. If, instead, I create it in a subclass of the QGraphicsScene placed in the QGraphicsView whose parent is my QMainWindow, like:

MyWidget* widget = new MyWidget((QWidget*)this->parent());
widget->show();

MyWidget* widget = new MyWidget((QWidget*)this->parent());
widget->show();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I get that it is semitransparent. Why?
Thanks!

What is 'this' in the first code ?

'this' in the first code was referring to my subclass of the QGraphicsView. Now I managed to get it work, but unfortunately I don't know how... I must have changed something while hacking and now seems to work in both the ways I reported.
Anyway, I noticed transparency doesn't work in case the widget is created with a NULL parent: is this correct?
Thanks for your time!
