[SOLVED]this->hide() doesn't work in constructor

[adnan]

I wish to hide (minimize) the application to tray icon on startup. But

@this->hide()@
or
@this->setvisible(false)@
both don't work. The main window is always displayed!

Hi,

I think it's because your main window is shown in your main.cpp. It shoud be something like :

@int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {

QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.show();

return a.exec();

}@

Just remove w.show();

[Code_ReaQtor]

use @showMinized();@

to show it again, you may use @showMaximized();@

or @showNormal();@
