[maemo-developers] How to force landscape mode in Qt 4.6.2?

[From: Ram Kurvakat]

also I think you need to setAttribute(Qt::WA_Maemo5AutoOrientation, true) on a QMainWindow to set that to landscape afterwards.

Haven't checked if its a widget/application attribute also.

sorry my browser acts funny sometimes so my previous message was incomplete...

one way would be to disable the accelerometer, saves battery as well if its not needed.

QDBusConnection::systemBus().call(QDBusMessage::createMethodCall(MCE_SERVICE, MCE_REQUEST_PATH,
 MCE_REQUEST_IF, MCE_ACCELEROMETER_DISABLE_REQ));

Hi,

In my app I have setAttribute(Qt::WA_Maemo5AutoOrientation, true) in the main.cpp. The auto orientation works fine. However, I have some stacked windows that I want to display only in landscape. I've tried using setAttribute(Qt::WA_Maemo5LandscapeOrientation, true) when creating the window or in the window it self, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. How can I force some of the windows to be only landscape?

Cheers,

Sascha
