QMessageBox location

Jedd · wrote on 27 Mar 2018, 18:00

When my application presents a message with QMessageBox, the message is centered over my app, which is just how I want it. However, on a multiple monitor system, if I drag my application to a different monitor, messageboxes appear on the original monitor, not the monitor the program was dragged to. Is there a way to lock my messageboxes to current location of the application?

Hi,

What version of Qt are you using ?
On what OS ?
If Linux: what distribution ? Desktop Environment ?
With which compiler ?

@SGaist 5.6 and 5.10.1. All OSs (Win7/8/10),OS X, Linux. I'm not currently using Qt 5.6, but the exhibited behavior is the same.

Can you show a minimal sample application that reproduces that behaviour ?

Per your suggestion, I built a simple application and qmessagebox behaved exactly as it should when I dragged the program to different monitors. So, I went back into my problem code and discovered the behavior was self-induced.

Glad you found out !

Could you explain what happened in your code to trigger this ?
