[Interest] Showing QGuiApplication/QML application on a given HWND ref.

[Nuno Santos]

Bo,

Is it possible that you can provide further details about this technic?

Do you think this technic will also be possible on Mac?

My window content will be Qml. Initially my approach was starting a QQmlApplicationEngine.

Now, I was considering using a QWidget to takeover the give pointer window and instantiate a QDeclarativeView inside of it in order to have Qml inside the QWidget.

With your suggestion, I believe you are getting the window id from the already created QWidget or QQmlApplicationEngine. My question is how do you get the window pointer from an already instantiated Qt window in order to try this approach?

Thanks,

Nuno
