Can qt integrate with software developed by tk

[fangyu]

How to implement access window handle in ubuntu system? I have a program written in tk, and I want to access its window through qt. Can be obtained through "findwindows" in the windows system, so is there a similar API in the ubuntu system. If not, can qt integrate with the software developed by tk?

Hi, and welcome!

Can you describe what you mean by "access its window through Qt"? Are you trying to control the other window from a Qt application?

Can be obtained through "findwindows" in the windows system, so is there a similar API in the ubuntu system.

You could get the window ID (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/151407/how-to-get-an-x11-window-from-a-process-id for example), and then call QWindow::fromWinId() (see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwindow.html#fromWinId)

However, this is not properly supported so you might not be able to do everything you want.

Not directly.
