Show QWidget on the Active Window

[HariHaran]

Hi team,

I want to show the QWidget on the active screen (or) window. It can be an external screen(Monitor) or it can be an another screen like Desktop 2 in Mission control Mac OS.

Any hints ?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Are you thinking of something like QGuiApplication::primaryScreen ?

[HariHaran]

I want to show in this active desktop or to show in all the desktops. I have attached an image from mission control in mac os.

QtGuiApplication.primaryScreen() doesn't work as expected.

[SGaist]

So you want to do in your application what macOS provides as desktop environment feature ?

[HariHaran]

@SGaist Yes . Actually the same feature is available in windows too.

[SGaist]

That's the thing: it's a desktop environment feature not an application feature.

@SGaist Ok then, thanks for the confirmation. :-)
