Transforming an app into dialog
-
I'm trying to have the ability to take still images from my app but need more directions to get it to work. The simplest example I was able to find online is
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmultimediawidgets-camera-example.html
While I don't need all the video features, I don't mind them being part of the app. All I need is instead of the Camera app being stand alone, I want it to start in a QDialog, as part of my app. If it's complex, how can I integrate it into my app to be displayed in the last page of a stackedwidget?
I'm kind of used to creating everything in Qt Designer with some basic knowledge of Qt and would appreciate just a list of what is required to get the camera to capture still images in my app.

Hi
Its a QMainwindow and uses a QmenuBar
for some menus so making it QDialog is not
super easy.However, you could just cheat a bit and make it modal with
setWindowModality(Qt::ApplicationModal);
and use it as a dialog even if its not.
There is nothing bad about having 2 mainwindows even if not often used.
But cant do this in Designer.
You must new a Camera window yourself.
