    I am trying to run an external process from qt.
    I am trying to use

        QWindow *window = QWindow::fromWinId(winid);
        QWidget *widget = QWidget::createWindowContainer(window);
    

    How do I get the winid from the external process?

    I am running on linux.

      @Jakob-Clausen If you only want to start an external application then use QProcess.
      Or do you want to embed the UI from that application in your application?
