Window Modality & Drawer Question

[ademmler]

Hi everybody.

May be I am mistaken or have forgotten how to do it.
I think it was possible to get a dialog as a "top drawer" in the Main window by setting its modality to "Application" modal.

Now when I do this in Qt Creator I get a standard Modal Window
but not "a dialog sliding out from the top".

What I am missing here?

I use Qt 5.5.13 and Qt Creator 10.0.0 rc-1.

thx in advance

Hi @ademmler
I presume you are talking about "sheet" on MacOs, you need to set the modality to Qt::WindowModal,
see HERE

@mpergand Hi, yes you are right - I am talking about "sheet".

I tried to set Modality from code and within QtCreator.
In Both cases it does not work and I get a normal dialog popping up.

mAssistant = new ManualAssistant();
mAssistant->setModal(true);
mAssistant->setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);
mAssistant->show();  //I tried also mAssistant->exec()

Seems to be broken somehow.

@ademmler
You need to set the sheet a parent window:
mAssistant = new ManualAssistant(this); // this is the parent window
or
mAssistant->setParent(parent window)

@mpergand said in Window Modality & Drawer Question:

mAssistant->setParent(parent window)

Thx for your hint - if I do so I get a modal dialog.
But it sits in the window center and not as "sheet" at the top.

Try to add Qt::Window to setParent as here:

mAssistant = new ManualAssistant();
mAssistant->setModal(true);
mAssistant->setParent(parent, Qt::Window);
mAssistant->exec();
