QDialog on top of Metro Ui Windows 8

[azkuene]

HI,
I want a QDialog to always be on top of all the applications and also on top of the Windows 8 Metro Ui. The flag Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint works correctly in the traditional desktop, but when I switch to the Metro Ui interface, my window is not visible. It is possible to have a normal window on top of the Metro ui? I am developing my application in C++.

SOLUTION: This is possible if the application is able to gain access to protected UI.

No, you can't have a normal window on top of the Metro UI -- Desktop mode and Metro mode are completely separate and cannot be mixed. The Metro UI has no concept of "windows" or "dialogs".

It is not possible with QT windows or any window? The on screen keyboard of Windows8 is visible in both desktops.

The on screen keyboard is part of Windows8.. and like JKSH said, you can't show any window when you're using Metro UI.

Not possible with any window.

The on-screen keyboard is not a window.
