[lee64456546]

When i minimize my window it will always go to the left corner of my desktop. Is there i way i can minimize it to the taskbar like most applications do?

Hi
on what platform ?
Tried on windows 10, but seems the QDialog does the same as QMainWindow in regards
to minimized.

Hi

If i have a QDialog as main window.
it still goes to the taskbar like any other window.

Only top level windows are shown in the taskbar. If your dialog has a parent it is not top level.

@mrjj The Qt version i'm using is Qt5.5.1,
it like this

@Chris-Kawa when i Instantiate LoginDialog, i passed "this" parameter into it. And "this" refers to mainwindow class.
LoginDialog *logDlg = new LoginDialog(this);
logDlg->show();

Yes and, as I said, that's why it behaves like that. Child windows don't show up in taskbar and they minimize like in your screenshot. Just pass a nullptr as a parent and it will show up in the taskbar.

@Chris-Kawa It works, thanks.
