Thanks to both of you for your hints. I am now modifying the Window Flags example, in order to have it my way. For this proof of concept, I am trying to do two things:
- Have the custom-shaped window - Move the window where I want: beside the "Quit" button. However, something's wrong here. I am using QRegion to define the shape, and moving it with move(). If I set the window type to Qt::Tool I still have the window title, but I can see the clipping working just fine. When I set the type to Qt::Tooltip or use Qt::FramelessWindowHint, the whole window disappears! Moreover, I am unable to move it where I want. I know it is some kind of coordinates misunderstanding here... Can anyone enlighten me? Code follows. Cheers! void ControllerWindow::updatePreview() { //... QPoint b = quitButton->mapToGlobal(quitButton->pos()); pos.setX(b.x() + quitButton->width() / 2); pos.setY(b.y() + quitButton->height() / 2); previewWindow->move(quitButton->mapToParent(pos)); } PreviewWindow::PreviewWindow(QWidget *parent) : QWidget(parent) { //... QVector<QPoint> pts; pts.push_back(QPoint(0, 10)); pts.push_back(QPoint(36, 10)); pts.push_back(QPoint(36+10, 0)); pts.push_back(QPoint(36+20, 10)); pts.push_back(QPoint(296, 10)); pts.push_back(QPoint(296, 266)); pts.push_back(QPoint(0, 266)); QPolygon p(pts); setMask(QRegion(pts)); } _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
