window_destroy = ui("mainWindow.ui", ui.TYPEWINDOW, deleteOnClose=True)
# deleteOnClose can also be set or unset using setAttribute
print("state of deleteOnClose flag:", window_destroy.getAttribute(55))
window_destroy.setAttribute(55, True)

window_destroy["windowTitle"] = (
    "Self-destroyable main window"  # change title of main window
)
window_destroy.connect("destroyed()", window_destroyed)
window_destroy.show()

Window_no_child is a stand-alone window that is no child of the main window with own symbol in the task bar

window_no_child = ui("mainWindow.ui", ui.TYPEWINDOW, childOfMainWindow=False)

Configure a window to not have a maximize button and to always stay on top.

window_on_top = ui("mainWindow.ui", ui.TYPEWINDOW)
window_on_top["windowTitle"] = "On-top window"  # change title of main window
# 0x00040000 is the flag Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint and needs to be added if not yet done (or)
# 0x00008000 is the flag Qt::WindowMaximizeButtonHint and needs to be removed if not yet done (xor)
window_on_top.setWindowFlags((window_on_top.getWindowFlags() | 0x00040000) ^ 0x00008000)

# it is also possible to disable the close button by xor-ing Qt::WindowCloseButtonHint (0x08000000)

window_on_top.show()
