For more examples of orientation, how to use forms created with Qt Designer, or anything else, check out the source of maegym
Code is fairly clean, though I plan to refactor a few things.
errr ... I think you misunderstood me .. I'm not talking about switching to Portrait mode or anything, or that how do I popup the QDialog properly while in portrait mode ...

I'm asking how can I make the QDialog pop out from the left side of the screen (or from the right side of the screen), instead of poping out from the bottom of the screen ?

Here is a picture to show what I mean:



The bottom center arrow with a cross on it depicts the normal bottom --> up poping method .. how can I instead have vertical QDialogs that pop into view from either the left or right side of the screen ? Is this possible ?
