Qt toggle always on top for a QMainWindow
- by Jake Petroules
void MainWindow::on_actionAlways_on_Top_triggered(bool checked)
{
Qt::WindowFlags flags = this->windowFlags();
if (checked)
{
this->setWindowFlags(flags | Qt::CustomizeWindowHint | Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);
this->show();
}
else
{
this->setWindowFlags(flags ^ (Qt::CustomizeWindowHint | Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint));
this->show();
}
}
The above solution works but because setWindowFlags hides the window, it needs to be reshown and of course that doesn't look very elegant. So how do I toggle "always on top" for a QMainWindow without that "flashing" side effect?
