[Interest] QWindows and objectNames

[Tor Arne Vestbø]

Hi,

That’s expected. The name of your widget is “myMainWindow”. The name of the QWindow (QWidgetWindow) backing that QWidget has the widget name with a “Window” suffix.

Renaming your widget to “myMainWindowWidget” will make it clearer :)

Cheers,
Tor Arne

When iterating over all application windows using QGuiApplication::allWindows() (there is just one) and printing out out their objectNames I get "myMainWindowWindow" (i.e. an additional "Window" added to the objectName) for my main window.
