Hello, I would like to temporarily hide a tool window derived from a QDialog[*] to reveal the KMainWindow of my application while some code runs, and then show the tool window again when the code has finished. In the Qt/KDE API docs, "hide" and "close" seem to be synonymous. I can't close the tool window, because the code that is running is part of the tool. So, is there any way to hide a dialog without closing it? It would also be acceptable if the dialog could be lowered behind the KMainWindow. Thanks for any tips, Jason [*] also, is it possible to derive from KDialogBase using Qt designer? -- KStars: A KDE Planetarium http://edu.kde.org/kstars >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
