[Qt-interest] Windows that move together

[John Weeks]

My company's application, that we are in the beginning stages of  
porting to Qt, has grouped windows- windows that move together,  
basically looking like separate windows but acting like one window.

Under Mac OS X Carbon, we use Macintosh window groups. On Windows, we  
have an emulation of window groups that basically just catches window  
move events and applies the moves to all the windows of the group.

I implemented such a scheme under Qt using an eventFilter that watches  
for QEvent::Move. It works OK on Windows, but on Macintosh the events  
are very much delayed. The grouped windows never move with the main  
window, and actually wait for a second's delay or so before they catch  
up.

I was wondering if anyone might have experience with QEvent::Move, and  
have a solution.

Thank you!

John Weeks
