You can also include this directory as a subproject if you choose CMake as your build system.

For other build systems, you need to install with CMake first and include the corresponding configuration files in your project.

Quick Start

Qt Widgets Application

First, setup WidgetWindowAgent for your top QWidget instance. (Each window needs its own agent.)
```c++

include <QWKWidgets/widgetwindowagent.h>

MyWidget::MyWidget(QWidget *parent) {
// ...
auto agent = new QWK::WidgetWindowAgent(w);
agent->setup(w);
// ...
}
```

You can also initialize the agent after the window constructs.
c++ auto w = new MyWidget(); auto agent = new QWK::WidgetWindowAgent(w); agent->setup(w);

Then, construct your title bar widget, without which the window lacks the basic interaction feature, and it's better to put it into the window's layout.

You can use the WindowBar provided by WidgetFrame in the examples as the container of your title bar components.

Let WidgetWindowAgent know which widget the title bar is.
c++ agent->setTitleBarWidget(myTitleBar);

Set system button hints to let WidgetWindowAgent know the role of the child widgets, which is important for the Snap Layout to work.
c++ agent->setSystemButton(QWK::WindowAgent::Base::Maximize, maxButton);

Set hit-test visible hint to let WidgetWindowAgent know the widgets that desire to receive mouse events.
c++ agent->setHitTestVisible(myTitleBar->menuBar(), true);
The rest region within the title bar will be regarded as the draggable area for the user to move the window.
