I can't recieve the changeEvent(QEvent* e) when I change the window state such as Qt::WindowMinimized and Qt::WindowMaximized.

[Paul Xu]

I have a custom widget that inherits from QMenuBar, and I have overridden the void changeEvent(QEvent* e) function. When I change the window state, such as maximizing or minimizing, the changeEvent(QEvent* e) is not being called. I believe this is not the expected behavior. Does anyone know why this is happening?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

I don't see why change event should handle the window state according the doc: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qwidget.html#changeEvent

@Christian-Ehrlicher

Because the change events include QEvent::WindowStateChange and others. The window's states include minimized, maximized, or full-screen.

[Christian Ehrlicher]

You are right - it's not sorted alphabetically.
But QMenuBar will never be maximized - only your main window.

I originally intended to change some of the icons on the menu bar when the window was maximized or minimized...
I have now achieved this through other means.

But you can do that by listening to change event on your main window like @Christian-Ehrlicher wrote.

@jsulm Yes.
