    When a QDialog is open, Qt prevents you from clicking/accessing your QMainWindow by locking it.

    Is there a way to change it so that when a QDialog is open, you can also click/access your QMainWindow?

    If not, what could i use to be able to access two windows at the same time?
    Thanks.

    Code used to display my QDialog

    @
    NetstatMap Map;
    Map.setModal(true);
    Map.exec();
    @

            When using Map.show(); the QDialog closes instantly.

              I think You must set the parent of the QDialog object to be the QMainWindow cobject !

                Hi,

                It's because your dialog is on the stack, you must allocate it on the heap if you want it to survive the function where it's created. To ensure it gets deleted, set the Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose property on it (unless you want to be able to hide/show it but then it's another problem)
