How to display child Window icon in task bar

Window {
    Window {
        id: childWindow
    }
}

I have a QML like this, and childWindow icon does not display in task bar when the window is shown. My environment is Windows 7. In a CPP setting I think it would suffice to set parent of childWindow to 0 to have both windows to be top level.

But how to do that in QML?

If you create an Object in QML like this, the parent is automatically set, and you can only change the visual parent by using the parent-property.

To have it otherwise, you might do one of the following:

  • Use JS Dynamic Object Creation.
  • Load multiple QML-Files in C++

The former can be done as follows:

property Window mySecondWindow: secondWindowComponent.createObject(null)
Component {
    id: secondWindowComponent
    Window {
        ...
    }
}

To destroy this, call mySecondWindow.destroy(). If you only delete the reference, the JS GC will eventually take care of it. If it does not fail.

The latter can be done by adding something like that to your main.cpp

engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));

You can do something like that:

Item
{
    Window
    {
        id: wnd1
        width: 200
        height: 200
        title: "Window1"
        visible: true
        onClosing: wnd2.close();
    }

    Window
    {
        id: wnd2
        width: 200
        height: 200
        title: "Window2"
        visible: true
    }
}

Note that when wnd1 is closed (main/root window) also the second one gets closed onClosing handle ensuring the correct - or expected - behaviour on main window closing.
