And what do we do if we developers are too lazy to read the fine manual? Exactly! We have someone else read it for us - like your favourite LLM! ;)

Here is what ChatGPT has to say about it:

Quote: „ Yes, in Qt, there is a flag that can be used to make a modeless dialog stay on top of the application. This flag is called Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint. By setting this flag on a modeless dialog, you can ensure that the dialog remains on top of all other windows in the application.“

And even better: a quick research reveals that this flag („hint“) actually seems to exist ;)

In fact, you can try it out right away and tell us how it went:

;)

Hope that helps!
