QDialog remove title bar


The net is flooded with similar questions, but for all I have seen nothing suits to solve the problem at hand.

In my QT-C++ app, I have a mainwindow form with some functions, there is a QPushButton, Pressing which a QDialog opens. Now, all functionalities in forms work fine, but I want the final application to be without any top title bar. i.e. No Close / Minimize / Maximize Button.

In my main.cpp I have done --

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.setWindowFlags(Qt::Window | Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
    w.show();
    return a.exec();
}

as a result the mainwindow has become -

For the dialog.cpp window, I have set -

Dialog::Dialog(QWidget *parent) :
    QDialog(parent),
    ui(new Ui::Dialog)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    //QDialog Dialog(0, Qt::CustomizeWindowHint|Qt::WindowTitleHint);  --- used this also; no use

    QDialog Dialog(0, Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::Dialog);

But the title bar of QDialog remains, it looks like -

Where am I going wrong ??? any ideas on how to remove the close button and the title bar ???


Solution

  • Solved it with help from a friend, posting the answer for ready reference for someone in need ---

    in the mainwindow.cpp when the Fetch button is pressed, the qdialog opens, I have set the properties there;

    void MainWindow::on_pushButton_2_clicked()
    {
        Dialog dialog;
        dialog.setModal(true);
        dialog.setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
        dialog.exec();
    }
    

    This did the trick --
