Dear Tony

You're right, I am trying to access two separate apps, to be launched in a
single QTabwidget. but how does it matter, since even if I launch in single
Widget, it is still not coming. The header title is being correctly used I
am able to launch the app. But the app's header and menu bar, are not being
launched.


    if (process_->waitForStarted(-1))

    {

        //0.00289917 0.28096 -0.180618 = 343

        HWND id = FindWindow(0, L"App.exe");


        if (!id)

            return;

        QTimer t;

        t.start(2500);

        QWindow* window = QWindow::fromWinId((WId)id);

        QWidget* widget = QWidget::createWindowContainer(window);

        setCentralWidget(widget);

    }

I am trying it on QMainWindow. And I think FindWindow itself is giving
header text and menu less portion. So window and widget none

is getting it. Can you suggest me what can be done for this.

regards

sujan
