Get HWND on windows with Qt5 (from WId)
I am trying to convert a Qt4 Application to Qt5. The only thing I couldn't figure out is how to get the HWND of a Widget. The program uses EcWin7 to show the progress on the taskbar icon on win 7+ but expects a HWND. The lib itself seems to compile fine after changing Q_WS_WIN to Q_OS_WIN) In Qt4 on Windows WId was just a typedef for HWND, so this was no problem. In Qt5 this is not the case anymore. I found some mailing list posting that could give a clue but it seems QPlatformNativeInterface is not part of the public API of Qt5 anymore.
The program calls EcWin7.init(this->winId()); and I need to some way to convert this ID into the HWND id or some other way to get this.
In Qt5 winEvent
was replaced by nativeEvent
:
bool winEvent(MSG* pMsg, long* result)
is now
bool nativeEvent(const QByteArray & eventType, void * message, long *result)
And in EcWin7::winEvent
you have to cast void
to MSG
:
bool EcWin7::winEvent(void * message, long * result)
{
MSG* msg = reinterpret_cast<MSG*>(message);
if (msg->message == mTaskbarMessageId)
{
...
I was able to get the application to work! Just replace:
mWindowId = wid;
with
mWindowId = (HWND)wid;
#include <QtGui/5.0.0/QtGui/qpa/qplatformnativeinterface.h>
static QWindow* windowForWidget(const QWidget* widget)
{
QWindow* window = widget->windowHandle();
if (window)
return window;
const QWidget* nativeParent = widget->nativeParentWidget();
if (nativeParent)
return nativeParent->windowHandle();
return 0;
}
HWND getHWNDForWidget(const QWidget* widget)
{
QWindow* window = ::windowForWidget(widget);
if (window && window->handle())
{
QPlatformNativeInterface* interface = QGuiApplication::platformNativeInterface();
return static_cast<HWND>(interface->nativeResourceForWindow(QByteArrayLiteral("handle"), window));
}
return 0;
}
