The window in the task bar does not appear

[SGaist]

Can you show how you start your application and how you use your login widget ?

Of course.

         QString CryptPassword = QCryptographicHash::hash(Password.toLocal8Bit(), QCryptographicHash::Md5).toHex();

         if(UsersInfo.Password == CryptPassword &&  UsersInfo.AdminLevel > 0)

Thanks for the help you are giving me.

@Mask You shoud change your design: this dialog should not show the main window (in fact it should not know anything about main window). Do it like this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    SecDialog *SecDialogPage = new SecDialog();
    SecDialogPage->setWindowFlags (SecDialogPage.windowFlags () & (~Qt::WindowContextHelpButtonHint) );

    SecDialogPage->exec();
    if (SecDialogPage->logedOn()) {
        MainWindowUI = new MainWindow();
        MainWindowUI->showMaximized();
    }

    SecDialogPage->deleteLater();

    int ret = a.exec();
    delete MainWindowUI;
    return ret;
}

@jsulm said in The window in the task bar does not appear:
> MainWindowUI = new MainWindow(this);

parenting to this shouldn't be possible inside main~~

[jsulm]

@J.Hilk Thanks, corrected! Was a copy/paste :-)

[Mask]

@jsulm
What is "logedOn ()"?

[Mask]

I found a solution:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    SecDialog *SecDialogPage = new SecDialog();
    SecDialogPage->setWindowFlags(Qt::Window);

    if(SecDialogPage->exec() == QDialog::Accepted)
    {
        MainWindow *MainWindowPage = new MainWindow();
        MainWindowPage->showMaximized();
    }

    SecDialogPage->deleteLater();

    return a.exec();
}

Thank you all for the help you gave me.

@Mask said in The window in the task bar does not appear:

It would be a method in your dialog implemented by you. Returns true when user has successfully logged on, else false.

[Mask]

@jsulm
But the "main.cpp" endlessly repeats an if until it's true?
Is it okay like I did?

[jsulm]

@Mask said in The window in the task bar does not appear:

No, it does not - I don't see any loop there.
The code you posted works if you only return QDialog::Accepted in case user was logged on successfully and exiting the app if not.

[Mask]

@jsulm
I know that no loops are set, but I'm wondering when the main executes that one. Does it only run after the accept () is called?

[jsulm]

@Mask "SecDialogPage->exec()" returns as soon as user closes dialog either by accepting (OK) or rejecting (Cancel).

[Mask]

@jsulm
Ah okay, thank you!

[Mask]

Sorry for yet the disorder, but I can't declare a global variable, should be a variable qsqldatabase, I also tried to create another header files but there are unsuccessful.
How can I do?

[jsulm]

@Mask You don't need a QSqlDatabase instance and even less so a global variable!
Please take a look at the documentation and example there: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsqldatabase.html
