    This is a screenshot of photoshop and this is the kind of thing I am looking for. Resizable and closable windows inside the application window.

      The image upload is currently broken. See here for how to share images.

        I know you said it is broken, but I can see the image. When you told me it was broken I cleared my cache, shut down mozilla and then restarted it, and the image still shows up in QT.

        Will however look at that link you posted for me.

          You can see it without any problem for a while. However others might not be able to do that as it's the case now.

            I hope you can see this one. Sent it to photobucket. This is the kind of thing I want to achieve. Multiple windows in my application, but inside my main window.

                Hi,
                that could be done with QMdiArea and QMdiSubWindow.

                @Gerd
                I will look into QMdiArea and QMdiSubWindow.

                Thanks

                PS. Found this tutorial. It is all in a foreign languge, but I got the gist of it, so QMidiArea is the one I need to use

                    Yes sorry, meant to mark it as solved yesterday, but didn't get around to it. Will do it now.

                      Thanks for the help and I thought I would show you this screenshot. I only got it working woohoo.
                      This will be the start of my second application in QT. I am taking baby steps with this one though, but this is a start.
