QWSWindow Class Reference
[QtGui module]

Detailed Description

The QWSWindow class encapsulates a top-level window in Qt for Embedded Linux.

When you run a Qt for Embedded Linux application, it either runs as a server or connects to an existing server. As applications add and remove windows, the server process maintains information about each window. In Qt for Embedded Linux, top-level windows are encapsulated as QWSWindow objects. Note that you should never construct the QWSWindow class yourself; the current top-level windows can be retrieved using the QWSServer::clientWindows() function.

With a window at hand, you can retrieve its caption, name, opacity and ID using the caption(), name(), opacity() and winId() functions, respectively. Use the client() function to retrieve a pointer to the client that owns the window.

Use the isVisible() function to find out if the window is visible. You can find out if the window is completely obscured by another window or by the bounds of the screen, using the isFullyObscured() function. The isOpaque() function returns true if the window has an alpha channel equal to 255. Finally, the requestedRegion() function returns the region of the display the window wants to draw on.
