What can I do for my QtWidget-Program's Window correctly positioned on the screen？

After a long time, the problem remains unsolved.

I don't think it's the correct place here when you want wayland improvements.

@Christian-Ehrlicher

It's a pity that qwidget can't adapt to the new changes brought by wayland.

Maybe a workaround?

QMessageBox mMessageBox;
int x = this->x();
int y = this->y();
mMessageBox.setGeometry(x,y,300,100);

@posktomten

thank you , but it doesn't work，the Dialog cannot move itself to by 'move' func ，somebody says that wayland not provide coordinate data

[foghere2023]

@posktomten

someone tell me :『Wayland does not support manual positioning』

[foghere2023]

@posktomten

    int x = this->geometry().x();
    int y = this->geometry().y();  
    qDebug() << "Window position: (" << x << ", " << y << ")";

the 「window position」is (0,0) forever

@foghere2023 Yes thank you! I apologize. I should have checked better.

@posktomten

now，just use xcb like this for wayland user『QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb ./testApp』
