The QWSWindow class encapsulates a top-level window in Qt for Embedded Linux.
When you run a Qt for Embedded Linux application, it either runs as a server or connects to an existing server. As applications add and remove windows, the server process maintains information about each window. In Qt for Embedded Linux, top-level windows are encapsulated as QWSWindow objects. Note that you should never construct the QWSWindow class yourself; the current top-level windows can be retrieved using the QWSServer::clientWindows() function.
With a window at hand, you can retrieve its caption, name, opacity and ID using the caption(), name(), opacity() and winId() functions, respectively. Use the client() function to retrieve a pointer to the client that owns the window.
Use the isVisible() function to find out if the window is visible. You can find out if the window is completely obscured by another window or by the bounds of the screen, using the isFullyObscured() function. The isOpaque() function returns true if the window has an alpha channel equal to 255. Finally, the requestedRegion() function returns the region of the display the window wants to draw on.

This enum describes the state of a window. Most of the transitional states are set just before a call to QScreen::exposeRegion() and reset immediately afterwards.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QWSWindow::NoState | 0 | Initial state before the window is properly initialized. |
| QWSWindow::Hidden | 1 | The window is not visible. |
| QWSWindow::Showing | 2 | The window is being shown. |
| QWSWindow::Visible | 3 | The window is visible, and not in a transition. |
| QWSWindow::Hiding | 4 | The window is being hidden. |
| QWSWindow::Raising | 5 | The windoe is being raised. |
| QWSWindow::Lowering | 6 | The window is being raised. |
| QWSWindow::Moving | 7 | The window is being moved. |
| QWSWindow::ChangingGeometry | 8 | The window's geometry is being changed. |
| QWSWindow::Destroyed | 9 | The window is destroyed. |

Returns the window's caption.
Returns a reference to the QWSClient object that owns this window.
See also requestedRegion().
Returns the region that has been repainted since the previous QScreen::exposeRegion(), and needs to be copied to the screen.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.
Returns true if the window is completely obsured by another window or by the bounds of the screen; otherwise returns false.
See also isVisible().
Returns true if the window is opaque, i.e., if its alpha channel equals 255; otherwise returns false.
See also opacity().
Returns true if the window is visible; otherwise returns false.
See also isFullyObscured().
Returns the window's name, which is taken from the objectName() at the time of show().
See also caption() and winId().
Returns the window's alpha channel value.
See also isOpaque().
Returns the region that the window has requested to draw onto, including any window decorations.
See also client().
Returns the current state of the window.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.
Returns the window's ID.
See also name() and caption().
Returns the window flags of the window. This value is only available after the first paint event.
This function was introduced in Qt 4.3.
