Public Static Functions

Detailed Description

note Note: The underlying window system might or might not allow one to alter states of windows belonging to other processes.
warning Warning: QxtWindowSystem is portable in principle, but be careful while using it since you are probably about to do something non-portable.

Advanced example usage:

class NativeWindow : public QWidget {
     public:
     NativeWindow(WId wid) {
         QWidget::create(wid, false, false); // window, initializeWindow, destroyOldWindow
     }
     ~NativeWindow() {
         QWidget::destroy(false, false); // destroyWindow, destroySubWindows
     }
};

WindowList windows = QxtWindowSystem::windows();
QStringList titles = QxtWindowSystem::windowTitles();
bool ok = false;
QString title = QInputDialog::getItem(0, "Choose Window", "Choose a window to be hid:", titles, 0, false, &ok);
if (ok)
{
     int index = titles.indexOf(title);
     if (index != -1)
     {
         NativeWindow window(windows.at(index));
         window.hide();
     }
}

note Note: Currently supported platforms are X11 and Windows.
