create a multiple Mainwindow in QT - qt

Question

Thank you for going through this post. I have searched forums,blogs and SO, but could not get what I actually need.
I am experimenting on how to display multiple mainwindows. I am using a embedded hardware board. I have successfully ported QT lib on to it.
I have written a small program.
mainwindow.cpp
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}
MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}
main.cpp
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow text_plane;
text_plane.setWindowFlags(Qt::Window | Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
text_plane.setStyleSheet("background-color: Black;");
text_plane.show();
a.exec();
return a.exec();
}
The above code displays one window only.
Even if I create a Mainwindow w1 after text_plane.show() like
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow text_plane,w1;
text_plane.setWindowFlags(Qt::Window | Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
text_plane.setStyleSheet("background-color: Black;");
text_plane.show();
w1.setWindowFlags(Qt::Window | Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
w1.setStyleSheet("background-color: Yellow;");
w1.show();
a.exec();
return a.exec();
}
Now only the w1 window is shown. What about the text_plane window ?? how to get that back.
Can anyone help me out here to make this understand.
Thank you

First of all, I wonder, what are you trying to achieve here:
a.exec();
return a.exec();
You need to call this method only once, you know.
Second of all, both of your windows are shown (you can see it in a taskbar), but, since you set Qt::FramelessWindowHint, one of them is drawn on top of the other. You can split them by using move (or something like it):
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
MainWindow w, w1;
w.setWindowFlags(Qt::Window | Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
w.setStyleSheet("background-color: Black;");
w.show();
w1.setWindowFlags(Qt::Window | Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
w1.setStyleSheet("background-color: Yellow;");
w1.show();
w.move(0, 0);
w1.move(100, 100);
return app.exec();
}
