Destroy QWidget returned from Plugin in Qt

Question

My app loads a plugin which creates a window (QWidget), but I can not destroy it when I exit from QMainWindow, obviously because widget returned from plugin is not a child of QMainWindow. The issue is that if I make that window to be a child of mainwindow, I get a window on another window. But I need them both to be separated. I did them separated (but main window has no control over window from plugin), in my case I do not know how to close window from plugin when app quits. How can I achieve that?

Answer 1

Just delete it. If you don't assign it a parent, no other widget has ownership. So you should simply be able to destroy it yourself on exit.
