When you say you want it to be "in the background", do you mean that
it's stealing focus from the parent's window when it's created? Or
that the OS doesn't see it as a separate window?
As Nathan said, setting the Qt.Window flag on your Dialog/Widget
"should" promote it to its own Window, but I've only tried that in
Linux, so I don't know if this is any different on other platforms.
As a workaround, if you already have your Widget/Dialog class, you
could just make a QMainWindow class as a container, and add your
widget to it. I've done this before to re-use a QWidget in different
places, for example.
The example below is just a quick test, but it might give you an idea:
from PySide import QtCore, QtGui
class NewWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow): # This is your MainWindow container
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(NewWindow, self).__init__(parent)
self.ownWidget = myWidget() # Add your own widget to this window
self.setCentralWidget(self.ownWidget)
class myWidget(QtGui.QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(myWidget, self).__init__(parent)
self.setLayout(QtGui.QVBoxLayout())
self.textlabel = QtGui.QLabel("some text")
self.layout().addWidget(self.textlabel)
f = NewWindow(QtGui.QApplication.activeWindow()) # Create a
NewWindow instance as a child of Nuke
f.show()
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ivan
