Modeless dialog in Qt

Praveenin_ece

I have a requirement ... the requirement is that on a mail window(Dialog class) there should another Message Dialog (MessageDialog class) which is moduless dialog which has a pushButton should pop-up.. The catch is that the main Dialog can be hidden but the moduless Message dialog should still be displayed and should not disappear. But on clicking OK button click in message dialog after the main window is hidden , the Message dialog should get closed.. but should not exit of the program... But the thing is after OK button click in the Message box the Message get closed and also the program completely terminates ... I do not know why this happens? Can anyone please explain why. where is that i am making a mistake

If the Ok button is clicked before the main Window disappers the program does not Exit ...
If I Do not hide the Main Dialog the behavior is fine.. That is the program does not terminate...
