[Qt-interest] Window modality

[Harry Sfougaris]

Investigating why I didn't get responses, I realized I I didn't reply to all..... :)
So here it goes again:

No, it doesn't seem to need that. Since I am using the setWindowModality function, it doesn't seem to make a difference whether I use show() or exec().

I think the issue here is a more generic one: Does Qt::WindowModal work with QMdiSubWindow? If yes, I guess the next question is what's wrong with my code... :)
Also, under Windows, window-modal doesn't seem to work (of course there is no sheet dialog equivalent, but even the behavior doesn't seem to be there, ie everything seems to be application modal). Is this how it is?

Thanks,
Harry
