How to CenterScreen the Application?

[khalidmushtaq65]

Hi,

I am new to QT and developing an Application in QT, found it too exciting:-)

I just want to know how to start the application windows on the center of screen, tried a lot but couldn't get through.

Try this:

@QRect frect = frameGeometry();
frect.moveCenter(QDesktopWidget().availableGeometry().center());
move(frect.topLeft());@

Works for me and as far as I know there is no function in Qt which can center window so you can use this solution above.

@
window->setGeometry(QStyle::alignedRect(Qt::LeftToRight, Qt::AlignCenter, window->size(), qApp->desktop()->availableGeometry()));
@

It's a common issue.

Now you can point to this "wiki article":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Center_a_Window_on_the_Screen in the future :-)

Thanks for the reply.

@Mazur.. It's not working. showing 'frameGeometry() not defined' and 'move not defined'.

@peppe.. it also shows error 'Invalid struct QStyle'

Then you will have to

@
#include <QStyle>
#include <QDesktopWidget>
@
