Setting pyside window as child for windows application window?
-
I`m trying to set Qt window as a child for another windows application mainwindow. Problem is that if I use windows API SetParent all the keypresses goes straight to parent window instead of my QT app window and also when I close the Qt window, application crashes..
Is there any method to make this work?

Can you explain a little more about your problem??
Both windows belongs to the same application, aren't they?The second Window is a QWidget, QDialog??

I`m building add-in for windows application. So what I need is that my Qt window is set as a child for the windows application. For example if you build up some add-in for MS Word, you probably want your add-in window to be child for Word for easier usage.
Problem is that when I use SetParent API the window goes nicely as a child but if I have for example QLineEdit in my child window and I try to type something to that text field all key presses goes straight to parent app..
And also when I close the child window it crashes maybe because it is setup as child and should somehow release parent-child relation before closing, but I do not know how.
For setting the QMainWindow as child I did use:
@
hwnd = self.winId() #QMainWindow handle
handle = parentWindowHWnd #Parent application handle
ctypes.windll.user32.SetParent(int(hwnd), handle)@
