How to hide application on taskbar? - c++

Question

I am trying to hide my QT application from taskbar? I cannot find anything in Google so I asking here.
Solution from Qt Hide Taskbar Item (Qt Hide Taskbar Item) and this->hide() is not helping.
main.cpp
#include "status_bar.h"
#include <QApplication>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
status_bar w;
w.show();
return a.exec();
}
status_bar.cpp:
#include "status_bar.h"
#include "ui_status_bar.h"
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <QTime>
#include <QTimer>
#include <QApplication>
#include <QDesktopWidget>
status_bar::status_bar(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::status_bar)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
setWindowFlags(Qt::Window | Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);
resize(QApplication::desktop()->width(),36);
ui->time->move(QApplication::desktop()->width()-ui->time->size().width(),10);
ui->username->setText(getenv("USER"));
timeupdate = new QTimer(this);
connect(timeupdate, SIGNAL(timeout()),
this, SLOT(UpdateClock()));
timeupdate->start(100);
}
void status_bar::UpdateClock()
{
ui->time->setText(QTime::currentTime().toString("HH:mm"));
}
status_bar::~status_bar()
{
delete ui;
}
EDIT:
With code like this window is empty.
class MyWindowWidget : public QWidget
{
public:
MyWindowWidget(QWidget *parent)
: QWidget(parent, Qt::Dialog)
{
}
};
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
status_bar window;
MyWindowWidget widget(&window);
widget.show();
return app.exec();
}
Solved by using Qt::Tool flag.

Answer 1

Qt::Tool flag has other problems for me, like this widget/windows is hidden when its state becomes inactive.
I would recommend you to use Qt::ToolTip
