How to move widgets between screens

SuperMonkeyRules

I have compiled my QT program for raspberry pi and it works fine except I cant figure out how to use the move function on a window to move the window between the different displays I have connected to my pi.

I create three different widgets which should show on three separate displays.

It works fine on my windows machine so I assume its something to do with Raspbian's window manager?

Thanks

Hi,

Any chances you are using Wayland as display manager ?

@SGaist Yes

@SuperMonkeyRules
Then @SGaist is likely to follow up with: "under Wayland the window manager is in control of all layout, including window positions", and does not let you interfere with that. At least with the current/standard compositor.

@SuperMonkeyRules what @JonB said !

But there might be some hope with QWindow::startSystemMove. See this StackOverflow thread. I haven't tested it yet though.

@SGaist Thanks both of you.
But Ive swapped to X11 and that fixed my problems.
