How I can override the minimize button?

[mandruk1331]

I know that I can override the closeEvent slot, but is there's a slot smth like minimizeEvent?

[VRonin]

void MainWindow::changeEvent(QEvent *event)
{
    if (event->type() == QEvent::WindowStateChange)
    {
        if (isMinimized()){
            // it was minimised
}
        else{
            // it's normal or maximised
}
    }
 
    return QMainWindow::changeEvent(event);
}

@VRonin Just one more thing, is there a way I can make a sliding-out menu, like there will be a button >> and when I press it a menu slides out?
P.S. without using QML

I want to have smth like this, can I achieve this using the qtoolButton?

You have to reimplement the display of the "menu" (actually a widget) so might as well use a QPushButton directly. going off topic a lot here
