How to get external App into foreground ?

[ademmler]

Hi,

I use the routine below to launch external applications.
I am searching for a way to bring those external apps into the foreground
and give it a higher priority - while they are running.

thx Alexander

void MyApp::startExternalApp(QString cmd, QStringList arguments)
{
    this->setCursor(QCursor(Qt::BusyCursor));

    mcProcess = new QProcess(this);
    mcProcess->start(cmd, (QStringList) arguments);

    bool success = mcProcess->waitForStarted(0);
    qDebug() << mcProcess->program() << " " << mcProcess->arguments() << "started" << success;

    success = mcProcess->waitForFinished(5000);
    qDebug() << mcProcess->program() << " " << mcProcess->arguments() << "finished" << success;
    qDebug() << "Process error:" << mcProcess->error();
    qDebug() << "Process exit code:" << mcProcess->exitCode();
    qDebug() << "Process state:" << mcProcess->state();

    this->setCursor(QCursor(Qt::ArrowCursor));
}
