Control and status pane visible

Execute QMainWindow as show maximized mode, call QMainWindow::showMaximized()

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.showMaximized();
    return app.exec();
}

Hide control and status pane

No control or status pane visible.

Execute QMainWindow as fullscreen mode, call QMainWindow::showFullScreen()

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.showFullScreen();
    return app.exec();
}

Hide status pane

Only control pane is visible.

Execute QMainWindow as fullscreen mode, call QMainWindow::showFullScreen()

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    MainWindow w;
    w.showFullScreen();
    return app.exec();
}

Define control pane as visible in fullscreen mode, set Qt::WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint window flag into QMainWindow

// Enable Qt::WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint flag in QMainWindow constructor
QWidget::setWindowFlags(windowFlags() | Qt::WindowSoftkeysVisibleHint);
