So the context is that QtWidgets (QWidget, QMainWindow etc) are the traditional but still fine-to-use UI component technology, and QML is the newer tech. The QML tech stack includes QWindow; QtWidgets doesn't really. You can mix QtWidgets and QWindow/QML (with that createContainerWidget method or QQuickWidget), but you shouldn't unless you have a reason to, and it sounds like you don't. If you want to use QtWidgets then you should probably just use QGLWidget.
