How can I minimize my QMainWindow without also minimizing my QDockWidget that I have

  • 0

How can I minimize my QMainWindow without also minimizing my QDockWidget that I have undocked and is floating? What I want to do, is take a small window of my GUI to monitor the rest of the MainWindow. The MainWindow does not to be on the screen, all I want to see is the DockWidget while it is floating.

    A floating QDockWidget is automatically minimized when its parent QMainWindow is minimized. There is nothing you can do about that. You may have to change your QDockWidget into a QDialog (or some other QWidget) with parent = 0.
