QT 5.5 embed external application into QWidget

Question

I\'m interested in embedding an external application inside of my QT 5.5 Widget based application. I\'m only concerned with it working on Linux. I\'m using CentOS 7 with GN

Answer 1

The following achieves the desired result, the key was adding the FramelessWindowHint:

QWindow *window = QWindow::fromWinId(211812356);
window->setFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);

QWidget *widget = QWidget::createWindowContainer(window);

QVBoxLayout *layout = new QVBoxLayout(this);
layout->addWidget(widget);
this->setLayout(layout);
