<p dir="auto">The first step is to get the winId of your external application then use <a href="https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwindow.html#fromWinId" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">QWindow::fromWinId</a> and finally <a href="https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qwidget.html#createWindowContainer" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">QWidget::createWindowContainer</a>.</p>
