Problem getting with setGeometry function?

[pratik041]

If i am displaying two windows one is parent and other as child. While displaying why the child window is taking geometry relative to screen not relative to parent.

Top-level windows always have their geometry relative to the desktop. That seems logical to me, as that is the space they move around in. Any parent-child relationship between separate windows is purely for the benefit of the modalness of the child window.

What do you want to achieve?

I want to display a child window in the client area of parent window and the child window should take
geometry relative to that parent window.

Then you are looking for [[doc:QMdiArea]]

Does we can do all the thing with Qmidarea that we can do with normal QMainwindow?

You can put a QMdiArea on a QMainWindow as it's central widget.
