      @user4592357 Why do you need it there? Simply add it to your main window as usual.

            Yes, you can use as many mainwindows as you like.
            (you can even insert QMainWindow as a widget )

            So even its most normal to have one MainWindow, you can easy have as many you like.

            But do note that any widget can be a window.
            (if you dont give it a parent when you new it, its a window)
            like
            QLabel *lab=new QLabel(); // no parent
            lab->show();// will actually become a window.

              yes, but i guess it is only logically a window, because i can't take its menuBar() for example

                hi
                no its a window. But only MainWindow have QMenubar and
                QStatusbar and docks . Except docking, QWidget as window can also use menu etc. But if you need this, just use QMainWindow.
