That flag is normally something you set for the life of the visibility of the widget, since it is a hint to the systems window manager of how to draw windows. But, you can change the window flags using bitwise operations:
w = QtGui.QDialog() ## set the flag w.setWindowFlags(QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint) ## toggle on and off each time the flag # off w.setWindowFlags(w.windowFlags() ^ QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint) # on w.setWindowFlags(w.windowFlags() ^ QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint) ## clear the flag w.setWindowFlags(w.windowFlags() & ~QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint) The downside is that when you change the flag, the widget will become hidden again, and you have to show it. So when you tack on a w.show() right after setting the flag, you might see a blip. -- justin On Feb 1, 2013, at 2:22 AM, šãñ wrote: > I have set my QFrame Widget window(standalone application) to stay > always on top by > > self.setWindowFlags( QtCore.Qt.WindowStaysOnTopHint); > > how should I make it to toggle with some button ? > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to python_inside_maya+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to python_inside_maya@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
