Howto use multiple windows in one screen (Symbian)

wspilot

Hi, I am porting a QT-C++ appl. to Symbian. I use one top opengl-Widget window and below that one window with buttons etc.
I have been trying to make the the second window - as Window, Item, Page, Rectangle, you name it - with QML but it keeps occupying the complete screen or its looses or overlaps its childs. Am I trying sth that is not possible?
thanks

Draw everything inside a QGraphicsView and take a look around : QGraphicsWidget
But , I don't understand what you would like... Have a screenshot ? A draw ?

Two windows:
top window (in terms of y):
rect(0,0,360360)
and below that:
bottom window:
rect(0,360,360,240)
As far as I know a QGLWidget has to stand on its own. Also, the bottom window is not one, but there four of them (with their own signal handlings etc.) that are hidden/shown depending on the sate of the app.
QML won't accept sizes, the all take the full screen size.

Create your own QWidget with a QVerticalLayout.
In the first layout add your QGLWidget
In the second one, add your QGraphicsView with QML interface.

Thanks.
Vertical layout pushes all the (bottom) windows below each other, while they all should appear just below the top window. Bottom window1 appears in state1, bottomwindow2 in state2, etc.
I have now created a rectangle at the position of the top window. And below that a pagestack. The pages in the pagestack now size nicely to the (lower) space that is left over.
Now I have to figure out how to force the opengl widget in the rectangle are. This widget needs to be controlled fully out of QT-C++, no QML involved.
