How to hide subwindow in mdiarea.

Hello.

I have main class window. I create MdiArea and subwindow.

In main class constructor i try to use mainwindow->subwindow->hide() and mainwindow->subwindow->setVisible(false) but this is not working.

I whant hide all subwindow at the start of the program, and then with buttons unhide / hide subwindows.

Do You have some idea ?

Greetings.

Quoted from "thec0der"
Try
Source code
1
mdiArea->setVisible(true);
It works for me.

Yes, it works, but this method hide whole MdiArea - I whant to hide some of subwindows in this area.

Excaple I have MdiArea wiht three subwinows sub_1, sub_2, sub_3.

When I start the application I whant to have all subiwnodows hide ( but not MdiArea ). When I click on pushbutton ex. push_1 then I whant unhide sub_1, push_2 unhide sub_2 ...

That strangely, because when I use mainwindow->subwindow->hide(), then all widgets ( puttnons, lineedit ...) on subwindow disappear but not subwindow.

Yes, this is not working too - remove all widgets from subwindow but not subwindow.

In Attachments i send whole project. If You can please have a look in to mainwindow1.cpp file.

I thint I do something wrong with creating MidiArea, thats look like subwindow was a tabwidget ...

Another problem :-)

Can You help me to solve this problem : How to "catch" close signal from subwindow?

When the user close window I don't whant to destroy this subwindow but hide. I whant to have sub windows to multiple use, byt when the user close subwindow every widghet on him was destroy.

And one more question. Sorry for that, but I don't find any slution.

I have tabwidget in separate ui file, and my question is : How to show this tabwidget on mainwindow ?

1)
reimplement
void QWidget::closeEvent( QCloseEvent * ev )
or better
clear flag deleteOnClose

clear flag deleteOnClose

It's work

setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose, false);

Some information to second issue.

I have mainwindow class, and in separated ui file I have QTabWidget.

Mainwindow class :

Source code

class MainWindow1 : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
     MainWindow1(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow1();

    // THIS IS A POINTER TO CLASS WITH QTabWidget
    DanePrzychodni * dp_table;
	
public slots:
    void w1_action_dane_przychodni();

private:
    Ui::MainWindow1  * ok1;
};

MainWindow1::MainWindow1(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent),ok1(new Ui::MainWindow1)
{
    ok1->setupUi(this);

    // CREATE OBJECT
    dp_table = new DanePrzychodni;
}

MainWindow1::~MainWindow1()
{
    if(ok1)
    {
        delete ok1;
        ok1 = 0;
    }

}

void MainWindow1::w1_action_dane_przychodni()
{
    dp_table->show();
    // SHOW TAB WIDGET
}

QTabWidget

Source code

class DanePrzychodni : public QTabWidget
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
     DanePrzychodni(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~DanePrzychodni();


private:
    Ui::DanePrzychodni  * DP;
};

DanePrzychodni::DanePrzychodni(QWidget *parent)
    : QTabWidget(parent),DP(new Ui::DanePrzychodni)
{
    DP->setupUi(this);
}

DanePrzychodni::~DanePrzychodni()
{
    if(DP)
    {
        delete DP;
        DP = 0;
    }

}

The problem is, that TabWidet is opened like a new window, but i whant somethig like insert this widget in mainwindow form.

I need to have this widget in separated file, because appliaction will be have many of different tabwidget.

Do You have some idea ?

in designer
open mainwindow1.ui
insert a QTabWidget
promote this QTabWidget to DanePrzychodni (right click --> Promote to ...)
