[PyQt] Parenting a PyQt window to another application

[Scott Ballard]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to parent a PyQt (QMainWindow) to another 
application. In my case, I have PyQt running in Autodesk Maya and am 
trying to get the PyQt window to parent to Maya's main window (so that 
it raises/restores with Maya's window)

I was able to get the PyQt window to parent to Maya's main window using 
the Python win32gui module (GetActiveWindow(), GetParent() and 
SetParent()). I am able to move the border of the window around the Maya 
interface but the window doesn't redraw correctly and none of the 
menus/buttons work.

Any suggestions are appreciated!
