Prevent QMdiArea object from removing QMdiSubWindow when user clicks close button

[MrFive]

I want the hide the sub window and not remove it when the user clicks the close button on the sub window. How do I prevent the QMdiArea object from removing this object?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

From the top of my head: subclass QMdiSubWindow and reimplement it's closeEvent to hide rather than close.

Hope it helps

I know two ways to do it:

1. Hidde the close button of the QMdiSubWindow:
   @subwindow->setWindowFlags(Qt::CustomizeWindowHint | Qt::WindowMinMaxButtonsHint);@

2. Avoid the close accion re-writing the close event of the QWidget of the subwindow:
   @void YourWidget::closeEvent(QCloseEvent *e)
   {
   e->ignore();
   }@
