qwidget

In our project we have three independent applications, and we have to develop a QT control application that controls these three applications. The main window will be seperated to three sub windows - each one display another one application. I thought to use QX11EmbedWidget and QX11EmbedContainer widgets, but two problems with that: The QX11Embed* is based on X11 protocol and I dont know if it's supported on non-x11 systems like Windows OS. Since QT 5 these classes are not existing, and the QT documentation doesn't mention why. So that I dont know whether to use it or not - I'll be happy to

I have a custom QWidget and I simple don't want it to show up in the taskbar. I have a QSystemTrayIcon for managing exiting/minimizing etc. I think the only thing you need here is some sort of parent placeholder widget. If you create your widget without a parent it is considered a top level window. But if you create it as a child of a top level window it is considered a child window und doesn't get a taskbar entry per se. The parent window, on the other hand, also doesn't get a taskbar entry because you never set it visible: This code here works for me: class MyWindowWidget : public QWidget {

I create a simple UI with Qt Designer and convert it to Python codes. I searched for any method to detect changing window size. This is the generated code : from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets class Ui_MainWindow(object): def onResize(event): print(event) def setupUi(self, MainWindow): MainWindow.setObjectName("MainWindow") MainWindow.setWindowTitle("MainWindow") MainWindow.resize(200, 200) self.centralwidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(MainWindow) self.centralwidget.setObjectName("centralwidget") MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget) MainWindow.resized.connect(self.someFunction)

I'm doing some compositing inside the paintEvent() in a custom widget. Some of the compositing is done when some areas are already painted, and I need access to the current contents painted so far. So, I'm looking for a way to access the image contents of the current backing store during a paintEvent . I've looked at QBackingStore , but there's nothing there that directly gives me access to the backing store bitmap. Is there some API, perhaps private, that could be used to provide that? If not, I'll have to resort to painting on an explicit pixmap and rendering that pixmap onto the widget. It

I am using PySide 1.2.1 with Python 2.7 and I need a widget to draw a colored background. In Qt Designer I created a simple window consisting of a label, a widget containing three other items and another label. For the widget containing the button, radio button and checkbox I set the styleSheet property to background-color: #FFFFFF . In Qt Designer everything renders as desired: But in Pyside the widget does not draw the background color - but the items on it inherit the color correctly: Here's the ui-XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ui version="4.0"> <class>MainWindow</class>
