I'm trying to ask for a password the user in order to access a particular section, my application is fullscreen. The problem is that when the qInputDialog appears also the unity taskbar and the application titlebar appears. I want to avoid this and keep my application fullscreen. I'm using Qt 5.12.3 on Ubuntu 16.04
Take a look at this simple example:
Main.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include <QApplication>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;
w.showFullScreen();
return a.exec();
}
MainWindow.cpp
#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include <QInputDialog>
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}
void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
bool ok;
QString text = QInputDialog::getText(this, tr("Restriscted"),
tr("Password:"), QLineEdit::Password,"",&ok, Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
if (ok && text=="pass")
{
ui->label->setText("ok");
}
}
Seems there is no solution for this at the moment and the issue depends on Unity. At the end I replaced the qInputDialog
with a qStackedView
page with a qLabel
and a qButton
on it, then I hide/show the page accordingly.
