Qt5 Qt::FramelessWindowHint doesn't add an window entry in the taskbar

Itehnological

I am trying to create a custom design window in Qt5 with QML, but whenever I set the
@setFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);@

QtQuick2ApplicationViewer it doesn't create a window entry in the taskbar. I can't open it with the "Alt+Tab" menu too. Is that a bug, because according to the Qt5 documentation the FramelessWindowHint just removes the window border and title bar.

Is there a way around?

P.S. Windows 8, MinGW, Qt5, QtQuick 2. Also I am using QApplication instead of QGuiApplication because I am using some old-style QWidget based dialogs.

If you mean the icon on the taskbar that is used to minimize/maximize/close etc the running application, then no, i guess it's not a bug because I've used FramelessWindowHint and it works fine for me.

Try this

@view->setFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint
| Qt::WindowSystemMenuHint
| Qt::WindowMinimizeButtonHint
| Qt::Window);@

It works for me but when I try to hide window with QML button
@onButtonClick: _view.showMinimized();@
I see this (in debug, not release)

But if I click on icon in the taskbar all works fine.

Not sure about QML, but in C++ setWindowFlags not to Qt::Tool, but to Qt::ToolTip did the trick
