How to open new window after doubleclick so that it becomes active?
0
I'm trying to do a seemingly simple thing: after a double-click in one window, I want to open a second top-level (non-modal) window and activate it. However, whatever I do the second window doesn't get activated, the focus remains in the first window.
Here's a minimal example:
import QtQuick 2.11
import QtQuick.Controls 2.4
ApplicationWindow
id: root
height: 480
width: 640
visible: true
MouseArea
anchors.fill: parent
onDoubleClicked:
var w = otherWindowComponent.createObject(root)
w.show()
w.requestActivate() // same effect when removed
Component
id: otherWindowComponent
ApplicationWindow
id: child
width: 400
height: 300
Rectangle
color: "blue"
width: 100
height: 100
focus: true
Am I missing something? Thanks!
UPD: A bit of extra information:
- I'm on Windows 10 64-bit
- When I replace onDoubleClicked with onClicked, the window gets activated as expected.

Have your tried calling forceActiveFocus on the create window/item? You can do so inComponent.onCompleted

I can't call forceActiveFocus on a Window because it requires an Item. Calling it on the embedded blue Rect doesn't help.

@AlexJenter Try using a Timer and change the focus after 100 ms, maybe keep the focus because you are still pressing the window so for a test it would be interesting to force the focus a few ms later.

Maybe it's a Windows bug, in Linux it works correctly. So a workaround would be to set the focus with a Timer a few milliseconds after opening the window.
