Problem when calling setWindowState(Qt::WindowFullScreen);

[nicky j]

Hello!

I have been having trouble when calling this slot:
@
void QWwindow::maximizeWindow()
{
qDebug() << "SLOT: QWwindow::maximizeWindow() STATUS: Called";
this->setWindowState(Qt::WindowFullScreen);
qDebug() << "SLOT: QWwindow::maximizeWindow() STATUS: Completed";
}
@
Whenever I call this slot, nothing happens.
I am getting output from both qDebugs, leading me to think that there is something wrong with the code itself. Any ideas on how I fix it?

Thanks!

Have your tried to call showFullScreen() instead of setting state ?

[nicky j]

same result

Then something else is wrong with your code. That should work.btw. What OS is that ?

OS X 10.9

hm...indeed, just tried that on my Mac (10.6.8) and it does not work (qt-4.7.4).
looks like bug.

Maybe this will give you an idea:

It's carbon based workaround, you have to find out how to call cocoa api and hide menu bar (and show it again).
